4 Out - Off Ball Screens

Andreas Rauh • 24 December 2023

* You can add a rule that states: once the ball is passed, the passer must set a screen away from the ball. * The cutter who uses the screen now becomes the cutter to the rim and the same basic rules apply. * When first installing this, it might be wise for the coach to instruct the player who is receiving the screen to always curl tight to the rim. Once this is mastered, the coach can give more freedom to the players to make their own reads and reactions (popping, flaring, rejecting the screen, slips, etc.) * Also, for the screener, coaches should emphasize popping back out following the screen. Oftentimes the screener defender will help on the cut to the rim. This allows the screener to pop out and be open for a shot - and sometimes a drive to the rim against a recovering defender closing out.

4 Out - Dribble At Backdoor

Andreas Rauh • 24 December 2023

* If a player with the ball dribbles at you, you must go backdoor. * Just like the backdoor cut mentioned above, the same rules for a normal basket cut apply here: cut all the way through, cut and fill to next spot, other players rotate to open spot * Players must understand the difference between their teammates driving and attacking the rim and dribbling at themA north and south dribble to the rim is a drive * An east and west dribble to the side is a dribble at * A good rule here would be that if a player dribbles directly at you and they are above the 3-point line, go backdoor. * A key here is the spacing of the inside player. If this player sees a backdoor cut happening, they need to open up space for this pass by filling up and leaving the rim open.
