Comments from Coach Weir:

Double” is a double ball screen set, that is very difficult to guard, with multiple options to flow into various different actions depending on the personnel of your team.

4 and 5 set a double ball screen for the 1

1 can come off the double screen and look to it the 4 popping.

This is a great option if your 4 is a play maker or shooter

After 4 reverses to the 2

4 and 1 will set a double stagger for the 3

Option for the 4 to slip to the basket

If x3 overplays the stagger 3 has the option to cut to the opposite corner

ATO play run by the Brooklyn Nets to win a game.

2 should attack baseline like he’s trying to penetrate and 4 should make a ghost screen to misdirect defenders, while 3 (shooter) gets open through staggered screens.

3 and 5 set Iverson Screen for 2.

1 enters the basketball to 2.

4 sprints into fake pick and roll and cuts inside (ghost)

2 dribble toward fake pick and roll.

1 and 5 screen for 3.
