Rip (up screen, back screen) entry building block:

3 starts on the block on the same side as 5.

1 enters the ball to the lone high post player, in this case 4. 1 cuts over 4 to take defense away and initiate possible handoff.

4 pivots to face the rim as soon as 1 clears.

On the catch, 3 rip screens for 5 and pops out. 5 flashes hard to the basket.

4's first look is a pass straight to 5 for a wide open layup. If the defense switches the screen or doubles the scorer coming off after setting the screen, there is no help.

If x3 and x5 navigate the rip screen correctly, the Aces then flow into a DHO from 4 to 3 at the top of the key.

4 sets the ball screen and short rolls as 3 attacks the rim. 5 spaces up the lane into space for a dumpoff.

In transition, the rim runner (5) and the trailer (3) will be in the "wrong" spot. The Aces solve this with a Ricky, or re-screen to create a quick advantage for the 5 at the elbow.

After the re-screen, the 5 will post up for an iso in the mid-post area off a feed from 3.

Instead of a pass into the 4, off the rip screen 3 may receive a reversal from 1 at the top of the key.

3 feeds 5 at the pinch post and explodes past her defender to take a handoff from 5 to get to the rim.

If 3 does not take the handoff, 5 can face up and attack the advantage gained 1 on 1 with her defender.
