About This Play/Drill

The play looks to take advantage of a switch using a backscreen on a guard and then rolling big immediately to the basket.  Initial Set-up: Box Alignment with post players on the blocks and guards at the elbows.  Play can be initiated on either side with a pass to the wing. Guards should catch as close to FT extended as possible.  The point guard fills to ball side corner and the weakside guard fills to slot area. The ball side post sprints to catch the ball at the strong side elbow.  Once the post player has caught the ball she immediately turns to the inside while the weak side post comes up and sets a back screen for the slot guard. The guard cuts off the screen demanding and forcing the switch. The post player screens and seals guard and immediately rolls back to the ball and receives a pass for layup. The ball side guards interchange or screen to occupy the defense.  You can also run the same action off of a flare screen. This would be a good option if you have a great shooter.
