Princeton 4-Out Set
1.
Top slots sit above the elbows — vertically aligned with the lane lines, not splayed wide. Ball-side 5 on the right, weak-side 3 on the left.
2.
Corners stay on the baseline. 2 in the strong corner is shot-ready; 1 finishes the elbow cut and lands in the weak corner.
3.
4 lifts from the strong-side block to the strong-side elbow. This builds a high–low look on the strong side: 5 at the top, 4 at the elbow, 2 in the corner.
4.
The paint is empty. No one parks under the rim — every cutter has a clear lane to the basket.
Coach's Eye
With 5 at the top and 4 at the strong elbow, the high-low read is live: if 4's defender helps on a backdoor or corner action, 5 can hit 4 stepping in, and 4 has a one-pass-away seal at the rim.
What's next
From this set, the offense can run dribble-at backdoor, elbow flash-and-flare, or swing-and-skip into a shot for the corner. The full progression is part of the private playbook.
