Our "Nail" Offense was originated by Dean Smith, North Carolina's legendary coach. Coach Smith called this offense: "4 Corners" or "4 to Score."

The purpose of "Nail" is to SPREAD the defense and SCORE open lay-ups and free throws. Like Coach Smith's Tarheels, the NRP Knights have enjoyed a very HIGH SUCCESS RATIO when "Nail" is employed. Coach Smith's "4 Corners" was such a potent offensive weapon that the NCAA adopted the shot clock in order to stop him from using it. Over one six-year period, the Tarheels amassed an amazing 105-2 record whenever they went to the "4 Corners." Opposing defenses surely couldn't stop the Tarheels' "4 Corners" ... any wonder why college basketball adopted the shot clock?
