Basketball Plays Down Ball Screen Counter Options

By Brian Williams on November 13, 2014

Basketball Plays Down Ball Screen Counter Options

These counters are taken from the Basketball HoopScoop’s Comprehensive Ball Screen Playbook (written by Trey Watts).

It is a part of this week’s featured eBook bundle is the Princeton Hybrid Offense eBook along with the Comprehensive Ball Screen Playbook eBook. You can see their descriptions at this Link: Princeton Hybrid Offense and Ball Screen Playbooks

If you have any questions about the Playbooks, please feel free to email me or call/text me at (317) 721-1527.

These are some options to use to counter a defense that forces the dribbler of a ball screen down to the baseline.

I hope you can adapt to your system or take parts from to tweak what you do.

If we don’t hit the post stepping out, we look to score with 4 getting a jumper or 1 beating the X4.

IF no shot is there we will run “TWIST” and set another screen on the ball.

VS DOWN DEFENSE ON A SHAKE OR LOADED SIDE

We will dribble handoff with the guard in the corner.

there is no hedge because post help is in the paint.
