But team offense (distinguished from one-on-one play) starts two-on-two.
Two man actions begin with give-and-go and the panoply of pick-and-roll options.
Today I focus on less common two-on-two play and variations.
Dribble handoff/dribble pitch
Basic dribble handoff into downhill drive.
Dribble 'at' into back cut.
The next iteration becomes "dribble at' into off-ball screen (3 player action).
Dribble handoff/pitch was the precursor to the pick-and-roll. Coach Nick of BBallBreakdown illustrates how ICE defense limits the roller but evolves into dribble pitch.
Pass and follow
This action flows from an elementary youth basketball drill...pass and follow...teaching players to pass and move.
The ball handler can pass and follow her own pass using the receiver for a return handoff or use the receiver as a screener.
Give and go variation using receiver as screener/passer.
Two-man game with handoff and pass options.
Complications? Screening sacrifices some spacing.
Bill Walton and Larry Bird demonstrate this at 40 seconds and extensively at 1:32 of this video and beyond.
The girls that I've coached haven't played that much 'playground' ball. That's still the best arena for this type of education.
