Four corners offense

The four corners offense, also known as the four corner stall[1] or the four corners delay offense,[2] is an offensive strategy for stalling in basketball, primarily used in college basketball and high school basketball before the shot clock was instituted.[a] Four players stand in the corners of the offensive half-court while the fifth player dribbles the ball in the middle. The point guard usually stays in the middle, but the middle player may periodically switch, temporarily, with one of the corner players.
