Split the Trap Step-Through

Setup

Set up exactly as for the spin-out: inbounder under the far rim, screener on the free-throw line, receiver out front, two defenders ready to trap.

How it runs

1. The receiver comes off the screen, sprints to the ball and catches near the sideline with his back to the corner.
2. Two defenders close into a trap.
3. The receiver shows a pass high across the two defenders so both of them straighten up.
4. As they stand up he splits them with one long, hard step.
5. Only after he is through the trap does he put the ball on the floor.

Coaching point

That high fake has to be convincing or the two defenders never open a gap.
