Offense & Shooting
Five-Out
nounbasketball / community term
An alignment with all five offensive players spaced outside or near the three-point line.
Five-Out clears the paint for drives, cuts, and isolation. It is strong when every player can shoot or make a quick decision, but poor spacing can collapse the entire setup.
