Single post continuity
1) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#1 passes to #2 and cuts to the opposite block.  

#5 is posting up.  

#2 can pass to #5 in the post or to #4, who has made a v-cut to get open at the top of the key, lane line extended.
2) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#2 passes to #4.  

#5 ducks in the lane.  #4 can pass to #5.  This duck-in from #5 will force his defender to play on the top or high side, making him a better target to screen in the lane.  

If #4 can't pass to #5, #4 dribbles toward #3 as a key to set up a screen.  

#3 screens for #1.  

#4 passes to #1.  

#1 can shoot the open jump shot.
3) Single-Post Continuity Offense

After screening for #1, #3 screens for #5.  

#5 must cut low off all cross screens.  

#4 then down screens for #3 (screen-the-screener action).  

#1 can pass to #5 inside or #3 for an open shot.

You will need to work on the timing on these screens and cuts keyed from the dribble drive across the top.
4) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#1 passes to #3 and #3 will look into #5 posting up.  Again, this ducking action will bring #5's defender on the top side, allowing him to be screened when the ball is reversed.

If #5 is not open, #3 dribbles toward #2 (key to screen).  

#2 screens for #4 and #5, and then #2 pops out to the top.  

#4 uses #2's screen to get open on the wing and will receive the next pass from #3 for the open jump shot.
5) Single-Post Continuity Offense

If no shot is available, #4 reverses the ball to #2 who has just cut up off the screen-the-screener action inside.

#2 looks quickly inside #5 before driving the ball across the top.

As #2 drives the ball across the top, this keys the screening action for #1 to set a down screen for #3.  #1 then continues across the lane and screens for #5.

#5 always cuts toward the baseline off screens, such as this cut off #1's screen.  After passing to #3, #2 screens down in the lane for #1 (screen-the-screener action).
6) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#3 can pass to #5 down low or reverse the ball to #1 to continue continuity.  #4 screens for #2 cutting to the wing, then for #5 cutting to the baseline toward the opposite block.  #1 passes to #2 at the wing.
7) Single-Post Continuity Offense (CAROLINA ENTRY OPTION)

#1 passes to #4.  #5 ducks in.  #4 looks to pass to #5 in the mid-lane area.  If not open, #4 passes to #3 on the left wing.  #5 seals the defender and pivots to the low block.  #3 passes to #5 inside if he is open.

#1 will cut to the right low block after passing the ball to #4 on top.
8) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#1 now sets a back pick for #4 as soon as #4 passes to #3.  

#4 cuts to the basket.  

#3 can pass to #5 posting up, to #4 coming off the back pick or to #1.  #1 looks to shoot or again will look to #5 ducking in the lane for the high / low entry.
9) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#3 now passes to #1 on top after he back screened for #4.  

#1 looks to pass to #5, then dribbles at #2.  #2 screens for #4 and then across for #5.  

Continuity is set.
10) Single-Post Continuity Offense (DRIBBLE ENTRY OPTION)

The dribble entry option allows you to bring your post player, #5, outside on the perimeter while you move another player, #4, inside for the block to block action.

#1 dribbles to the wing at #2.  

#2 clears to the weakside post.  

#5 back screens for #4.  

#1 can pass to #4 in the post or to #5 stepping out after the screen.
11) Single-Post Continuity Offense

#1 passes to #5.  

#5 can take the shot or dribble toward #3, keying the screening action again.  

#3 screens for #2 and #4.  

The continuity continues.
