About This Play/Drill

After Depaul hit the 3 to put them ahead over UIC the Flames had a chance to respond for the win.  With the ball out of bounds underneath the Depaul basket, UIC took a timeout and diagramed a screen the screener play with 1.8 seconds on the clock.  The play got UIC a wide open three from the ball side wing for the win.  With such a short clock the Depaul defenders were caught between switching and trailing their own guys.  The key to this entire action is the sharp jab step taken towards the rim, and then the screen for the man cutting right to the rim.  That put Depaul’s defense in catch-up mode.
