Spread Ball Screen Basics
1 receives outlet and brings it up the ALLEY via the dribble
2 & 3 "deflate the defense" by sprinting up the RAIL to the deep corners
4 runs the ALLEY opposite the ball to the "high wing"
5 trails down the middle of MAIN STREET
This spacing keeps the middle of the floor open for 1 to attack and disorganize the defense
Terminology
Corner = even with the side of the rim
High Wing = even with top of circle
Nail = Center of FT line
Double Side = side with two players holding the sideline
Single Side = side with one player in deep corner
The Three Amigos = The three players outside of the ball screen. Their options are to:
- screen
- cut
- space
"Read the penetration, read the help"
Terminology cont.
Holding the sideline = creating width by spacing with back to sideline
Back Man = player behind the direction of the ball handler should they accept the screen
Splitting the Defense = using the roll to suck in off-ball defenders
