One of the things that I see a lot of teams, at various levels, doing defensively lately is switching screening actions. This can be a difficult thing to attack if you and your players are not adequately prepared. I am sharing with you a simple set play that you can use as a change up from your base offense against teams that like to switch screens.
- Spacing - high and wide spacing is the first thing that you need to make sure is being executed. Spacing alone will help with many of the problems that switching M2M defenses can cause. We emphasize spacing as far as the NBA 3 point line.
Slipping Screens - with proper spacing you will have better opportunities to slip screens for easy baskets. We emphasize lots of Flare screens and Pindown screens. Again, the spacing of your offense will help with the success of your slip actions. One of the set actions that I like is to get into an A-Set / Horns Set and run a flare action. You will see that there are a number of different scoring options with in this one set. There may be certain screening actions that you would want to use rather than the entire set. It is important that you think about the strengths of your players and position them in places where they can be successful.
