15 Quick Hitters from the 1-4 Set

with Luther Riley,
Provine (MS) High School Head Coach, 4x Class 4A Mississippi State Champions;
Nike Basketball Training Specialist, Champions

Coach Riley credits many factors for his unparalleled success at Provine High. On the floor, his 1-4 set creates a multitude of scoring opportunities on the offensive end. Now he shares the secrets on 15 of his unique quick hitters from the 1-4 alignment. All five players are put in situations to score, screen, reverse the ball and penetrate. The 1-4 alignment starts in a box and Riley shows how it can become a 1-4 in several ways. Proper spacing and a balanced court allow action to occur on both sides of the floor. Each quick hitter utilizes a variety of strategies: On ball screen, ball reversal, swing the wings, lob passes, screen away, stagger screens, flare cuts, box set and double screens. He also shows how the back door series starts from defensive wing pressure and takes advantage of the defense to produce baskets.
