Phase by phase
- HornsTwo bigs at the elbows, guards on the wings, ball at the top.
- First screenThe first big screens. The guard comes off tight, shoulder to the screener.
- Twist backThe guard reverses off the second screen. The first screener rolls to the rim.
- Bounce passThe pass goes to the roller on the rim side, off the dribble if needed.
- ScoreLayup. If the low man steps up, the roller finds the corner.
When to run it
- You have two bigs who set solid screens and pass.
- The defense switches the first screen and leaves a smaller player on a big.
- You want a second action ready when the first ball screen is denied.
Coaching points
- Both screens are real. If the first is a fake, the defender goes under and the twist has no value.
- The guard uses the twist to change direction, not speed.
- The bounce pass leaves the guard's hand before the defender closes, to the rim side of the roller.
Counters
- Defense: Ice the first screen
- Answer: Flip to the second elbow and screen the other way.
- Defense: Help from the weak-side corner
- Answer: The roller kicks to the corner. Put your best shooter there.
