Flex Offense Playbook: Corner Series

Coaching library › Offense & playbooks

Coaching Plus resource · PDF · 6 pages

A frame-by-frame playbook for the corner series of the flex offense, where the action starts with a pass to a player moving up from the corner. It covers the base movement and two options that punish a defense sitting on the flex cut.

What’s inside

• Initial set-up and continuous movement: the entry from the corner and how it flows back into basic flex action.
• Back screen option: a UCLA cut that turns into a back screen for the post.
• Post slide option: a change-up to the usual cut to the low post.
• Diagrams with numbered frames and a short note for each step.

Who it’s for

Coaches who already run the flex and want a second series, so the offense does not start the same way every possession.

How to add it

Add the corner series once your team runs the base flex without thinking. Because it starts from a different entry, it gives scouting teams a new look while using movement your players already know, which is the main reason to carry more than one flex series.

Walk through the corner entry and the return into basic flex until it is clean, then work each option as a 3-on-3 breakdown: the UCLA cut into the back screen for the post, and the post slide. Players should learn to read the defender on the flex cut. If he cheats to beat the cut, the option is open.
