How To Play Basketball: Pass & Screen Away

Cut number two in no particular order but this is the way we want it. We are going to pass and screen away exactly two scoring options up, pass and screen away. We are going to talk about the first one that is the jump shot, the pass and screen away. We start the drill the same way with the v-cuts we make the pass the same way and we had a way and screen. Now stop as you can see as the screener comes the man who is going to be screened walks into the defense this is because normally coaches sag away from the ball. So when the pass is made, in fact I will be the defender and let’s start it over.

As I deny and the pass goes away I am taught to jump to the ball. He needs to take the slot as the screen comes and both of us meet at the same time and set up perfect for the jumper. The other part to this is our screener is going to role with the cutter as the slack is taken and I meet it through. He is going to pin me and roll. Now he bellied back which is a proper way in passing game. He set the pick. I still have to be covered. He bellied back. Now he can see what is going on. If both men happen to go, he could put on the breaks and go on in himself for the lane.

But if he stands in one spot, he is also giving the defender a chance to help and get back with him. So we have him belly back to the low side and get ready to attack the board or go in and lay it in. We are working primarily for the jump shot now but we have to read in case there is a switch or in case two defenders go on the cut. Let’s go ahead and take it through one time. All the way through and watch it. Here we go.

Tap the board and score. Make sure the ball goes in. Good, set him up good come off attack the boards. Attack it score it. Good! We forgot how to rotate but we are okay here we go. We cut set him up come off hard role out attack the board, nice job. One more, good! Attack good job with a finish and that is what we call screen away. That is the second cut in passing game cuts. Now there is actually another option off that and that of course is to hit the man who set the pick was rolled back.

This time we are going to assume that when the pick was set both men went. You are going to step back and recognize go and look for the lay in. We are going to rock off the pick the screener and come hard to the basket.

Hold it just second fellows, we are doing a good job and again these are young people that we are teaching for the first time. The point we want to make when we set that pick and you come off and as you walked out boom. As you turn you will see this, he will not have to roll out far. If they both go you make the pass, I am going to plant here take the short and make the basket. So you will not have to go out because you are realize immediately if you visualize two people went and go to the back.

Good, one more.

Come to the ball do not let it come to you.

This is a good lamp drill. It is a good conditioning drill. It is a very intelligent drill for rebounding because it teaches kids to keep coming to the rim. Never stop until a ball goes through the basket. It also teaches intelligently to role the correct way and to do things the proper way in everything you are going to do whether that you set offense. No matter what you are learning whether it is continuity or a shuffle, or a flex. It teaches you to set the proper picks the passing game is excellent than defending it.
