Cousy Basketball Concepts: Play 5

Bob Cousy's Basketball Concepts and Techniques is a tome that shares an abundance of material, including the old Celtics' plays. 

Play 5 relies on handoffs after an initial pass. 

Because my club has an abundance of southpaws, I can see a great option for them, the fake handoff and drive. If they turn the corner sharply, the 3 gets downhill action to the basket for a drive , midrange shot, or pass to 5 if her defender helps. Mirabile dictu. Simple action that can create quality chances.
