Pick and Roll Offense: Options for the Screener 1. Screen placement on the floor 2. Options out of the Pick and Roll for the Screener 3. Suggestions for personnel in the Ball Screen Offense

1. Basic Principles of the Ball Screen Offense Screen Location Options of the Screener

2. Location of Ball Screens Ball Screens can be set in three main locations on the floor: High Ball Screen Wing Ball Screen Elbow Ball Screen

3. High Ball Screen High Ball Screen is set at the top of the key or higher The screen can be angled or flat Floor must be spaced to give the Ball Screen room to operate The above action by #1 and #5 is an example of a high ball screen set above the top of the key. Notice the spacing of the other three offensive players.

4. Wing Ball Screen Set at the foul line extended on or one step beyond the three point line Can also be angled or flat Isolate the two man game on one side of the floor The above action by #2 and #5 is an example of the Wing Ball Screen. Notice the spacing and isolation of the ball screen on the side of the floor.

5. Elbow Ball Screen Set at the elbow on the floor (the spot where the foul line and the lane line meet) Must be spaced properly Often the most difficult ball screen to defend The above action by #2 and #5 is an example of the Elbow Ball Screen (or “Horns” Screen). The diagram does not place #3 in the ball side corner, outside the 3pt line or #4 in the opposite deep short corner for spacing.

6. Options for the Screener out of the Ball Screen Pick and Roll Pick and Pop Pop and Drive

7. Pick and Roll If your screener is a good post player, he can roll to the basket Screener can ball screen the ball handler’s man and then roll to the rim We teach screen and sprint to the rim, find the ball, and then work in the post After #1 comes out of #5’s ball screen, #5 sprints directly to the rim, finds the basketball, and then works for position in the post

8. Pick and Pop If your screener is a good shooter, he can “pop” off the screen for an open shot After screening, the screener will step to an open area and prepare to receive a pass for a shot Step #1: Ball Screen Step #2: Pop off Screen and Pass back to #5

9. Pop and Drive If your screener is good at driving the basketball, he can pop and drive to the rim Ball Screen, Pop, Pass back, and Drive Step #1: Ball Screen Step #2: Pass to #5 Step #3: Drive to Rim

10. Reasons to use the Ball Screening Game Defense must chose to either stop the drive or stop the roller, leaving one open Forces help and recover situations Reduces turnovers Results in good shot selection Provides for good spacing on the floor
