Back Screen Elbow is a set designed to create multiple scoring opportunities against man-to-man defense.
The action begins with an Iverson cut and staggered screen before flowing into a back screen for the point guard.
From there, the offense creates elbow action that leads into a middle ball screen and weak-side flare screen.
The combination of screening actions forces the defense to communicate and defend multiple threats in a short period of time.
