This play is for ball movement up the court for a quick layup against a man-to-man full court press.
All screens roll away from the ball to "widen'" the court. If a forward pass is unable to be made, utilize the safety that is in the backcourt. If the safety is used the passer should fill in the safety position as the ball moves forward. The safety has the option to utilize the blue cone player in order to move the ball up the oppositie side of the court. The play would then reverse.
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.
