"12" | Ball Screen Continuity against a 2-3 zone

The corner touch is a reset for the offense, creating the continuity to ball screen the return pass out of the corner

How to use off-ball screens 101:

- Read defender's positioning (top lock, trailing, cheating screen?)
- Change speeds/pace
- Use deception (eyes, fake one way to cut the other)
- Come tight off screens (shoulder-to-shoulder, foot-to-foot)
- Be ready to shoot (attack) on catch

Great stuff here

Weave ➡️ Backdoor

Notice how the “shallow cut” shifts the corner defender from two passes away to one pass away to set up the backdoor cut

The back side defender in a 1-3-1 half court trap MUST position to take away the skip lob to the rim

Behind that, they drive on any floated passes for steals

Ideas to GET MORE out of your Assistant Coaches

1/ Give each assistant coach division(s) of the program they are responsible for

Some coaches can focus on one level of the program and others can oversee multiple levels

Tandem 2-3 Zone

The wing closes long and hard to take away the three-point shot and deter the corner pass

Funneling penetration back to the middle so everything has to go over top of x5

“Slice Stagger"

A 1-4 High screening set (that can be shaped into a continuity)

A veteran coach told me early in my coaching career, and it has always stuck with me:

Try to end practice on a positive note no matter how you’re feeling

It goes a long way to a positive program environment

Horns Elbow Over into the Zoom action

Notice the back side flare to open up the lane just a tad bit more
November 11, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Circle Motion is passing, cutting, and screening primarily

Adding a designed ball screen action for your best playmaker contrasts the offense perfectly

Since so many American teams run "Spain"...
