Tina sat at the table trying to be engaged in the meeting but her mind was trying to process what Bette revealed to her in the gym. She was trying to reconcile the two-sides Bette, the one who was bulimic and the one who had great confidence on the floor and was one of the most skilled players in the game today, had a very distorted body image and that one of the sexiest things about Bette, her "Alphaness”, was killing her.

Tina felt like an idiot. All this was going on right under her nose and she was totally clueless. She had no clue what was said at the meeting before she knew it was time for practice. 

She shut her office door and took a few minutes to get her head on right then went out on the court. As both squads sat on the bench, Tina spoke.

“We’re half way through the season in third place. Our point average as a team went up from 273 to 300 but our assist average has went down from 311 to 304. I am going to make the triangle are main source offense for the rest of the season. Here is how it works The offense starts when the ballhandler passes to the wing and cuts to the strong-side corner. The triangle is created from a post player on the strong-side block, the strong-side corner, and the extended strong-side wing, who gains possession on the first pass. The desired initial option in the offense is to pass to the strong-side post player on the block in good scoring position. From there the player has the options of looking to score or pass to one of the perimeter players whom are exchanging from strong-side corner and wing, a dive cut down the lane, or the opposite wing flashing to the top of the key which initiates another common option known as the "pinch post".

If a pass to the block is not possible, the second option is to either to pass to the weak-side guard who flashes top of the key from the weak-side wing position or passing to the strong-side corner. If the ball is passed to the corner the options are either shoot, pass to the strong-side block, or pick and pop with the wing. If it is passed to the weak-side guard it initiates the "pinch post" option. There are two options. The first and most common is to pass to the weak-side forward who flashes to the elbow (corner of the key at the free throw line) to receive the pass. When he does the options are a rub handoff, back door cut by guard without the ball, post up of the guard on a smaller player, or face up and attack. The second option is a pick and roll with the forward. The advantage to the first option is there are so many weapons to attack the defense it opens up a lot of freedom and ability to score effectively. The advantage on the second option is that the player who has the ball and uses the screen now has the entire side of the floor to work with to go one on one. Meanwhile, on the other side, the wing sets a screen for the corner guard on the triangle split. If the hand-off is not available, the forward or the guard can pass to the corner guard coming off the screen. If the defense overplays or expects the split, both the wing and the corner guard can back cut to the basket. During all of this time the original strong-side block player is able to establish position for an easy shot while the defender is lured by all of the movement and cutting by the other players.
