In our 2-Guard Continuity, a pass to the High post creates a great opportunity for the player at the weakside block (in this case 4)to duck in for a great high low look. If 4 is not open directly from 5 because the defender may be in position to deny the pass, 1 could fade to the weakside wing and the ball could be entered to 4 holding the seal posting up from there

When running the 2-Guard continuity, there are a variety of looks, options, and specials that can be run during the continuity, Here is something to look at that is a great shot opportunity for a shooter at the low block (in this case 2) and also gives the screener a chance to post up if the matchup dictates.

When the ball is at the wing, a pass to the high post sets up a downscreen by 3. While the screen is approaching 2 should step in to set up the defender prior to using the screen by 3. On the catch 2 should be shot-ready or look to 3 in the post.

2-Guard is a continuity offense designed to allow four perimeter players equal opportunity to be in all spots at sometime during the continuity. This is the initial cut and the basic ball reversal. Four players need to be able to function on the perimeter and it helps if the high post is a decent passer, as you will see later. Over the next couple weeks we’ll add some options and specials that make this a pretty comprehensive offense that you can build on and use from the youth level on up.

1 dribble entry while 5 flashes high. 2 uses the screen 3 sets to drive in and cut back out. 4 moves into position to set a block for 2 coming out.
1 can pass to 3 for the two or move the ball to 2 through 5.

2 makes a move towards the basket and pulls back out and receives the pass from 1. 4 sets a screen for 5 while 1 cuts to the left side of the basket. 3 moves to the right side of the basket. 2 passes to 5 who can either pass to 3 under the basket or back to 2 for the three point shot.
