triple threat
"triple threat" is the position when a player facing a defender receives a pass but has not dribbled yet. the offensive player's feet are slightly wider than shoulder width and slightly on the balls of their feet, their knees flexed, with both hands on the basketball in front of them or almost resting on their thigh, presenting the defender with an opponent able to move in any direction. one foot is held as the pivot and the other slightly ahead. from this, the player can choose from three options: to jump-shoot, to dribble (drive) past the defender or to pass it to a teammate. there are also options to get the defender out of their defensive stance by using jab steps and pump fakes.

like the princeton offense, the dribble drive offense is a "four-out" offense - that is, only one post player (generally the center) plays near the basket, while the other four players play on the perimeter, around the three-point line. unlike the princeton offense, which is based on players cutting towards the basket, and other motion offenses which rely on players screening for each other, the dribble drive uses a player (usually, but not limited to, the point guard) to dribble-drive towards the basket. the offense is designed in a way that makes it difficult for the defense to help on dribble-penetration without giving up either a layup or an open three-pointer. depending on how the defense responds, the driving player can either shoot a lay-up, pass to the post player for a shot, or "kick-out" pass to one of the perimeter players. if the ball is returned to the perimeter, the player that receives the pass either takes a three-point shot, or dribble-drives to the basket, restarting the process.
