Instructions

  1. 1S1 drops to the center to set the first screen while S2 positions just behind
  2. 2BH drives through both screens on a long weaving run toward the far side
  3. 3S1 rolls upward on a diagonal toward the goal area after BH clears
  4. 4S2 rolls on a second diagonal path toward the far shooting zone
  5. 5BH delivers the pass to S1 arriving first in the scoring position
  6. 6S1 finishes with a jump shot on goal

Coaching Points

  • First screen sets; ball handler uses it immediately before the second screen is needed
  • Second screen provides insurance — if the defense recovers from the first, use the second
  • Ball handler reads in real-time which screen breaks the defender first
  • Both screeners roll simultaneously after ball handler clears — force the defense to choose
  • Pass to the first roller as they have the inside position near goal

Common Mistakes

  • The two screens are set at the same spot instead of staggered, reducing their effectiveness
  • Ball handler tries to use both screens at once instead of sequentially
  • Second screener is not ready when the ball handler clears the first screen
  • Defenders switch cleanly because the screens are too far apart
  • The ball handler has already decided their path before reading the defensive reaction
