Triangle Offense
In the triangle offense, one of the perimeter players would dribble the basketball up to the 3-point line and pass the ball to a teammate who was posting up in the mid to low block.
Once the teammate received the ball, he would immediately shoot a turn around jumper, jump hook or back the defender down for a dunk. Another example of this is when one of the perimeter players walked the ball to the three-point line and passed it to a teammate. The teammate either threw the ball to a player posting up in the mid to low block or gave it to a second teammate and he would throw it into the post.
After this occurred, the player with the ball would hold it for a few seconds waiting to see if a teammate cuts to the basket. The teammate who had the responsibility of cutting to the basket frequently came from one of the corners or wings. For example, if the cutter came from the corner, the player with the ball would attempt to execute a backdoor pass. On the other hand, if the cutter came from the wing, the player with the ball would try to execute a drop pass.
However, if the cutter were unable to complete his cut to the basket, the player with the ball would shoot the ball or kick it to the perimeter.
