You want O2 to get the ball, and have a chance to beat the defender one on one. Run this simple isolation play. Essentially, you have three of your players move off to the left side of the court, resulting in a "clear-out" for O2 on the right side.
ISOLATION PLAY FOR ALL POSITIONS

Isolation: This is an offensive foul and it happens when the offense sits up with 3 or more players above the top of the circle on the side of the court away from the ball, i.e. the weak side.
Apart from the isolation method that teaches each basketball skill step by step, we dare to claim to be most comprehensive basketball online diagnosis clinic. Having problems with your shooting?
If you look at diagram 12 again, the isolation at B3 provides an opportunity for driving to the basket. The team must be aware that once a perimeter player drives inside, the pattern is broken and a reset will be necessary. That's OK.
With the shot clock winding down we either have on balls or isolations wing or post.

Section XV-Isolation
If the offensive team positions three or more players above the tip of the circle, on the weakside, a violation shall be called.
Try to maintain 12`-18` spacing and don`t get bunched up. The floor should be balanced (don`t have four guys on one side of the floor and only one on the other - unless it is an isolation play designed to take advantage of something in particular).
Intentional foul: A foul that occurs when a player makes illegal contact with an opposing player without intending to get the ball.
Isolation play: An offensive play designed to have a specific player attack the basket 1-on-1.
The smaller the muscles used, the more precise the action on the ball, so it is best to shoot with the wrist and arm in isolation, instead of using the whole body.
