Princeton Chin Offense Chin Continuity Offense

There are 7 basic actions that make up the majority of the Princeton Offense.

These 7 actions form the primary building blocks that comprise 90% of the framework of the Princeton System. These actions can be modified to create thousands of quick-hitters, variations, and wrinkles that will feature specific personnel and help you play to your strengths.

Each of these foundational actions can be used in conjunction with each other to feature possessions where your team flows seamlessly from one action to the next. The beauty of the Princeton Offense is that you're never stuck running a set play that can be easily scouted and taken away by opposing defenses.

I will introduce each of these 7 key actions on the surface. To gain an in-depth understanding of how these actions fit together and the variations associated with each one, check out my best-selling course, Mastering the Princeton Offense.

Unleash Your Offense with Pace and Space

Rod 1 Action

Rod 1 action occurs when two perimeter players screen for each other towards the corners when the ball is on the strong side elbow. There are ton of different actions that come before and after this, but the primary reads from the 5 man are: looking throw to the bottom cutter or pass and follow screen.

Here is an example of ROD 1 action.

Rod 2 Action

Rod 2 action occurs when two perimeter players screen for each other on the opposite elbow from where the ball is located. There are ton of different actions that come before and after this, but the primary reads from the 5 man are: looking throw to the bottom cutter or pass and follow screen.

Here is an example of ROD 2 action.

REEL Action

A REEL action is when the player with the ball up top dribbles away from the 5 man and towards the player on the wing. There are a few different options out of this alignment, but the primary option is for the wing player to go backdoor and the 5 man to set a flare screen for the passer.

Here is a REEL action with a handoff instead of a flare screen.

Wedge Action

A wedge action is when the 5 man comes to the top and dribbles to a handoff with the man in the corner while at the same time another guard sets a screen on their defender.

Here is an example of wedge action.

Chest Action

A chest action is when the 5 man catches the ball at the elbow with a perimeter player on the wing and in the corner. Those two perimeter players have many different actions they can run, but ultimately their goal is to use the 5 man at the elbow for a DHO or a pass and follow screen.

Here is an example of chest action.

Chin Action

The basic alignment for Chin action is 4 perimeter players spaced in the corners and up top with the 5 man screening towards the top of the key. Usually the 5 man will set a series of back screens and flare screens to initiate the action.

Here is one wrinkle out of chin alignment for a bump back three point shot.

5 out Action

5 out action starts with the 5 man in the center of the floor and 4 players spaced on the wings and in the corner. There are a number of actions that trigger various cuts and screens, but the action is initiated with a dribble at the player on the wing.

Here are some creative 5 out sets from Richmond:

Here's what a few people are saying:

This system is so lethal, any serious coach would be foolish not to add this to their toolbox.
Josh O.

If you want to unleash skilled players with a system that fits their abilities, this is a must have. Quinn does a great job breaking it down and making it easy to understand.
Jim T.

I can't say enough about the simplicity and genius of this system of offense. This is the direction modern basketball is going by utilizing space, skill, and pick and rolls.
