2. Driving Line - Be aggressive....get the ball out of the middle of the floor...get it to the sideline and keep it on the sideline...hands active but be quick.
3. 1st Big...run the center of the floor/talk and take over the Hole...get your work done and give the first hit...3/4 to behind...no paint catches.
4. 3 Man...run back to the other lane line and look to help
5. 2nd Big...get to the level of the ball...shadow half line and top of the key
