Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 before running forwards to make a screen on them.
Player 2 proceeds to dribble around player 1 before going for a jump shot.
Players then rotate (player 1 becomes player 2 and player joins the back of the line).
Important - The screening player is not allowed to be moving - if they are considered to be moving by the referee this is an illegal screen and will lose your team possession of the ball.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
