Pinch-Post Rub Cut & Handoff – Early Offense vs Man-to-Man

A pinch-post set that turns one elbow catch into a layup. The Pinch-Post Rub Cut & Handoff (call: "Chicago") flashes your post to the elbow, runs the passer shoulder-to-shoulder off him to the rim, and flows into a dribble handoff and roll if the cut is covered. It's drawn as a one-page triangle offense game-day sheet you can hold up in a timeout.

What's Inside

• Frame 1, Setup & Pinch Entry: 5 flashes to the right elbow and 1 delivers the entry pass
• Frame 2, Rub Cut & Attack (primary look): 1 rubs off 5 and cuts straight to the rim for the bounce-pass layup
• Frame 3, Handoff & Roll (secondary option): 1 clears, 5 hands off to 3, and 3 attacks the middle while 5 rolls
• Game-day keys: shot clock phase (18 to 12 seconds), the primary trigger, and the defensive counter
• Diagram key and coach's notes page

When to Call It

Early in the shot clock against man-to-man, especially when the defender on your passer trails his man. If that defender cheats under the post, the play goes straight into the handoff with 3 and a wing attack.
