Here is a short list from the eBook as to why you might want to use a Ball Screen Offense. Whether you agree or disagree, it might help you clarify your own beliefs about offense regardless of what offense you utilize.

– basic pick and roll is hard to guard
– use the pick and roll for various reason

2. get shooter open off of screens with weaker or no stunts.
3. create best matchup
4. good for team with multiple guards.
5. Players like it.
6. Easy to teach “the more you give the more you get”
7. There is always some advantage on the court.

9. Least Amount of Turnovers withing offense
10. Keeps ball in ballhandlers hands.
11 Score in least amount of Passes

Attacking a Ball Screen Trap

Diagrams created with FastDraw

“NAIL” CALL

When the ball handler is trapped, it is important that he treats this like a “press offense” situation, with 3 outlets and a long diagonal pass.

So when 1 is trapped 4 spaces to corner, 2 steps up to get behind the trap and 5 flashes to elbow.

Here we have a trap on a side ball screen, with a guard underneath the ball screen. (loaded side)

The post must roll on the ball screen because of the guard in the corner. The other post is high in the alley.

When the post rolling sees a trap he turns back and comes to the ball as the middle outlet.

The wing in the corner will elevate a be an outlet pass.

The opposite post moves up to be an outlet also.

If 5 catches the ball at the elbow he looks to the baseline to 3 and 2 cutting to the rim.
