Pinch Clear & Isolation Flare – Late Shot Clock Play

A late shot clock play with three ways to score. The Pinch Clear & Isolation Flare (call: "Solo Flare") clears the side so your best playmaker can face up at the elbow. If help comes on the drive, a flare screen frees a shooter. If that window closes, a weak-side hammer screen opens the skip pass to the corner.

What's Inside

• Frame 1, Pinch Entry & Clear: 1 passes to 5 at the elbow and clears; 2 spaces to the corner as 5 squares up
• Frame 2, Middle Drive & Flare (primary action): 5 attacks the middle lane while 4 flare-screens for 3, and 5 kicks out for the three
• Frame 3, Weak-Side Hammer Look (secondary option): 1 hammer-screens 2's defender and 3 skips it to 2 for the open three
• Game-day keys: shot clock phase (8 to 0 seconds), the primary trigger, and the defensive counter
• Diagram key and coach's notes page

When to Call It

Under 8 on the shot clock, at the end of a quarter, or any time you need a clean look for your best player. It works best when your 5 or a big guard can face up and drive from the elbow.
