In this course we will discuss different ideas, different use of OFF – BALL screens and different playtypes to help screen receiver to get open. OFF – BALL screen is offensive action where one offensive player sets screen on the defender who’s not guarding player with the ball, helping his teammate to get open and to come to better position to receive the ball. We will discuss screener’s and screen receiver’s responsibilities and how to use different OFF – BALL playtypes. We will also learn about terminology when we talk about basketball tactics.
I divide OFF – BALL screen action into four basic groups and inside each group we have more special playtypes, more special situations to create from OFF – BALL screens.
1. Simple screens where screen receiver goes toward the passer:
– PIN DOWN
– SCREEN AWAY
– STAGGER
– CROSS SCREEN
– ELEVATOR DOOR SCREEN / STACK SCREEN
2. “Complex” screens where screen receiver goes toward the passer:
– FLOPPY STAGGERS
– SCREEN THE SCREENER options
– VEER SCREEN
– RAM SCREEN
– KAMIKAZE / SCISSORS vs CHICAGO
3. Screens where screen receiver goes away from passer:
– FLARE SCREEN
– HAMMER SCREEN
4. Back screens where screener comes from down under and screen receiver cuts toward the rim:
– DIRECT BACK SCREENS + GRENADE
– SHUFFLE CUT SCREEN
– UCLA CUT SCREEN
In the course you will find more than 101 ideas to attack different OFF – BALL screens and more than 300 systems / breakdowns (over 115 minutes) to understand the basic rules and advanced options.
