Phase by phase
When to run it
- The other team switches ball screens and sags on the weak side.
- You have a guard who can pass over the top.
- You want a three out of a set with real spacing.
Coaching points
- The flare screener angles his screen so the shooter's defender cannot go under it.
- The skip pass is thrown with the guard's feet set, after the ball screen clears.
- Roll the first screener. A roll draws the low man and makes the skip easier.
Counters
- Defense: Switch the flare
- Answer: The screener seals for the duck-in.
- Defense: Go under the ball screen
- Answer: Pull up for the jumper or reject the screen.
