Offense - loop flare stagger

This movement begins with the first big coming back up to the ball side elbow, the trail post opposite the ball up top, and two wings near the free throw line extended. Coordinated action of the ball being pushed to the ballside wing, the ballside shooter clearing out (by looping the closest big and flaring the trail post screen), and the weakside shooter sprinting to the ballside corner. After cuts and screens, 2 now has room to work on the weakside (can curl the flare screen, from trail post 4, if chased).
On catch of the ball reversal to 2, the first big (5) dives to the new ballside. This must be a first quick look as 5 is looking to seal their matchup (with all other players outside). At same time, stagger screens are set by passer (1) and trail post (4) for the corner cutter (3) to catch and shoot at the three point arc. The two screeners must make contact on the chasing defender. Depending on personnel (and defensive reaction), there may be a look for a back door lob to 1 after they screen the corner.
