INTERMEDIATE SET PLAYS

2A. Point Drag - "Down-Pick" 

• The point player drags toward the strong-side shooter, which triggers the play.  At the same time the middle player sets a down-pick for the off-ball crease player (Option #1).  

• The point player also has the option to shoot (Option #3), or pass to the roller if the crease player isn't open coming around the pick (Option #2). 

• Variation:  Instead of dragging, the point player makes it look like the Middle-Point Cycle and passes it to the weak side, sealing for the middle defender.  The offensive player in the middle then goes and picks for the off-ball crease player once the point player seals the middle defender (instead of coming overtop).  The point player also re-seals and "up-seals" the middle defender as that is happening and therefore there's no help once the off-ball crease player catches the skip pass.

2B. Point Drag - "Up-Pick"

• The point player drags toward the strong-side shooter, which triggers the play.  At the same time the middle player sets a up-pick for the off-ball shooter (Option #1).   

• The point player also has the option to shoot (Option #3), or pass to the roller if the shooter isn't open coming around the pick (Option #2).
