Wing-Lead Break - Wing Initiates Attack

Instructions

1. 1LB leads the break and passes to CB in the center lane.
2. 2LB sprints deep along the left sideline; RB mirrors on the right.
3. 3CB advances centrally and reads which wing defender commits first.
4. 4CB delivers the ball back to LB on the left to attack D1.
5. 5LB drives deep; RB supports on the far side in case LB is covered.
6. 6LB fires a cross-court pass to RB; RB finishes with a jump shot.

Coaching Points

• LB attacks at full pace to force D1 to commit — hesitation gives defense time to organize
• RB mirrors the LB's run on the opposite side, staying level not ahead
• CB reads both wings continuously and delivers to whichever is open first
• If D1 goes deep to cover LB, LB must shoot before help defense arrives
• The cross-court pass must be thrown in front of RB so they catch in stride

Common Mistakes

• LB hesitating on the drive instead of attacking at full pace to force commitment
• RB running ahead of LB instead of mirroring at the same depth
• CB locking onto one wing instead of reading both options continuously
• Throwing the cross-court pass behind RB, forcing them to slow down and adjust
• LB not shooting when D1 commits deep, waiting for a pass that is not needed
