Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 1 Attacking 2-3 Zone Defense Executing Ball Screen Zone Plays. Can We Screen Against Any Zone Defen Attacking 2-3 Zone Defense Executing ball screen zone plays. Can we screen against any zone defense? Yes; Of course you can! One aspect of offense that is often lost in playing against zone is the use of the screen. When used properly, the screen can still be effective against a zone defense. Nearly every position featured at least one screen of the top two-man on the zone. This attempted to get the open lanes for penetration, passing or shooting. Against zone defense, in this case 2-3 defense, you really can use ball screens to free up open perimeter shots. Because the defense is in the zone, when you screen the defender on the ball, there is no switch so you basically will end up with an open shot every single time, also notice the defender goes underneath which allows for the wide open jumper. The most difficult thing to guard, while 2-3 zone defense, is a pick and roll (pick and pop). If you can obtain the right spacing, have some shooters and set good screens the pick and roll is a great way to attack the defense and force them to make difficult decisions. Beat the zone down the court. The easiest way to defeat the zone defense is to beat the opponent down the court and score before they can establish a set defense and organize all five players into the zone. Fast Break a quick transition from defense to offense will take away the time your opponent needs to get back and set up their defense. A good fast break – run off a rebound, turnover, or even a made shot- will cause plenty of confusion for any defense and open up holes through which you can drive the ball. Through good floor spacing, smart passing, quick cuts, solid screens and continuous ball movement, your offense should be able to find some holes in a zone and get a look at the high-percentage scoring opportunities. You don’t necessarily need a great zone offense but as long as your players have solid fundamentals, you can beat the zone easily by: 1. Ball reversals and skip passes; forcing the zone to shift and morph. 2. Penetrating the gaps to force the defense to collapse. 3. Running a player or two underneath the zone into the blind spots. Of course if you have shooters – all your troubles melt away. Here are some ball screen plays for you to try out and execute. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 1 Player 1 passes to 3 and 3 reverses to 1. It is important for player 1 to slide over the top of the key to set up the defender X1. Player 5 sets a ball screen on outside defender X1 on the top of the zone. Player 1 will dribble off the screen for a shot. Note: If defender X4 takes away player 1’s shot and the middle defender X5 takes away the pass from 4, player 2 will be wide open for a shot at corner. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 2 Player 4 back screens defender X1 as 1 comes off the ball screen, defender X2 steps over to stop the penetration. This opens up the pass to 3 for a shot. If defender X3 comes out to stop 3’s shot from the wing then a pass to 2 in the corner creates an open shot. Player 5 will cut to the ballside block for a possible pass from 2. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 3 Here is a quick hitting zone action for a quick three pointer. Sometimes you don’t need to be fancy. Just a simple screen will do the trick. Step One Player 4 will screen and re-screen against defender X2. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 4 Here is a quick hitting zone action for a quick three pointer. Step Two Player 4 re-screen against defender X2 as 1 comes off the screen looking for 4 on the roll to the basket, reversing the ball to 2 on the weak side for a shot or feeding 5 as he flashes into the lane. Of course if the defense does not defend 1 off the screen, 1 can shoot or goes for lay-up. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 5 Here is another way to screen the top of the zone defenders for a quick shot. Simple as that, player 2 screens against defender X2 while 3 cuts opposite wing to receive the pass from 1 for a quick shot. Player 5 will hold his defender (X4) to prevent him from blocking 3 for a shot. Note: When player 2 screens defender X2 then player 1 dribbles into the gap to draw defender X1. This opens up the pass for 3 at wing. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 6 Quick Shots First Look. Player 2 side screens against defender X1. Player 1 comes off the ball screen dribbling to the wing looking for a shot. Do not stop dribbling. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 7 Quick Shots Second Look. Player 4 ball screens against defender X1. Player 1 comes off the ball screen looking for a quick shot at the top of the key. Remember: Defender X2 will closeout against 1 and player 3 will be wide open for a shot. If defender X3comes out to contest the shot against 3, player 5 will get the pass from 3 on the block. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 8 Quick Shots Player 3 crosses over to side screen against defender X1. Player 1 comes off the screen for a quick shot at wing. Make sure player 5 holds the defender X4. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 9 Quick Shots in the Lane Player 1 dribbles up to the right wing then passes to 3 who cuts behind the zone to the top of the key. Player 2 screens the middle of the zone defender X5. Player 5 flashes into the lane to receive the pass from 3 for a shot. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 10 Find a hand full of plays that work for your particular situation and then practice them. Once they can be executed in practice, try them in a game. And then run them again, and again, and again. Remember, it’s the execution of plays that wins ball games, not the number of plays executed. Remember, a good coach designs plays that have the initial thrust of getting a specific player a shot, but also involve all 5 players on the court. Below are a few plays that can be effectively utilized against a 2-3 zone defense. Set plays vs. zone 2-3 defense Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 11 Spider Web Step 1 Player 1 passes to 3 at the left wing then moves away. Player 4 down screens against defender X3. Player 2 slides down to the weak side corner. Player 5 back screens against defender X2. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 12 Spider Web Step 2 Player 5 ball screens for 3 who dribbles to middle of the lane to draw the defender X1 then passes to 1. Player 1 passes to 2 at corner. Player 5 rolls to basket after screening 3 to get the pass from 2 at the corner for lay-up or shot. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 13 45 Baseline Step 1 Player 1 passes to 2. Player 2 reverses the ball to 1 then cuts opposite corner to receive the double screen by 4 and 5. Player 1 passes to 3 and 3 looks for 2 at ballside corner for a shot. If player 2 is not open then player 4 comes up to elbow to get the pass from 3. Player 5 steps into the lane to get the ball from 4 for a hook shot. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 14 45 Baseline Step 2 Remember: player 4 can feed 5 inside the lane or pass to 1 at right wing for a shot. Player 2 cuts baseline to opposite corner for a possible pass from 1 for a shot at corner. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 15 Both Up Step 1 Player 1 passes to 2 and 2 immediately reverses the ball to 1. At the same time players 4 and 5 flashes to both elbows. Player 1 passes to 4, 4 looks for 5 who cuts into the lane for shot or lay-up. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 16 Both Up Step 2 If player 4 cannot pass to 5, then passes to 1 at top and cuts to the corner. Player 1 hits 2 at wing. Player 3 flashes to the free throw line to get the ball from 2 for a shot or feeds 5 in the lane. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 17 Wide Four Step 1 Player 1 passes to 2 and cuts to the right deep corner. Player 4 pops out to the top to get the pass from 2. Player 3 moves down to the left corner. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 18 Wide Four Step 2 Player 5 comes up to elbow to get the ball from 4. Player 4 quickly cuts into the lane to receive the pass from 5. Player 4 can attack the basket or swings to 1 at corner for a shot. Coach JC (Joao Costa) Page 19 35 Far This is a very unique play. Step 1 Players 3 and 5 are close to the mid court line. Players 2 and 4 are together at baseline. At same time: Player 2 comes up to the right wing and 4 to the elbow.

  • George Mason University's Building the Full Court Scramble
    GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY'S BUILDING THE FULL COURT SCRAMBLE By Eric Konkol Assistant Basketball Coach George Mason Univeristy Applying effective full court pressure is an excellent way of taking your opponent out of their comfort zone in two simple ways. Its immediate effect is placing duress on the ball handlers, potentially forcing dribbling on passing errors, well before they get across half court and into the scoring area. In the long term, the effects of persistent pressure, constant guessing, and an increase in tempo can cause additional physical and mental fatigue on your opponent and give you a great opportunity for success. Nearly eight years ago, Jim Larranga inherited a George Mason University men’s basketball program that suffered through seven losing seasons including four last place finishes in the Colonial Athletic Association. After implementing an intense style of pressure defense that includes the Full Court Scramble, George Mason now has the most wins in the CAA as well as four postseason tournament appearances in the past six years. At George Mason, we believe that being successful at the Full Court Scramble requires three inner qualities before our players ever step onto the floor. Our three-part philosophy includes: attitude, commitment, and class. First, everyone must have a positive attitude. Each of us makes a decision each day on what type of attitude we will have. We emphasize enthusiasm, passion, along with hard work in our program. There is going to be adversity, and how we bounce back is vital. Secondly, everyone must be totally and unconditionally committed. We must work hard to improve every day, no matter the circumstances.

  • Pressure Man-To-Man
    #20 Series Defense: Pressure Man-to-Man The #20 defense was Coach Dean Smith’s predominate defensive attack. He used the term attack for his pressure man-to-man defense since the objective was to initiate the action on defense to disconcert the opponent and force them out of their intended offense. When successful your team will decrease their opponent’s points per possession and by so doing, will increase your own. For best results with the 20 defense you should look to accomplish these three objectives: 1. Pressure the opponent to put the ball on the floor and force him to the sideline with it. 2. Play the ball and the immediate outlets aggressively. Overplay each offensive man one perimeter pass from the ball by blocking every passing lane. 3. Constantly support this aggressiveness with help from the weak side. There are some rules to learn; however, the defensive principles remain the same. Most of these principles are taught through four simple drills. Eventually, we will get to these drills as a means of explaining the 20 defense as used by Coach Dean Smith. To begin with, let’s start our explanation of the duties of the player guarding the ball handler. Guarding the Player with the Ball There are three circumstances your defensive player may find himself guarding the man with the ball: 1. The offensive player may have the ball and not yet dribbled. 2. He may have already dribbled. 3. He may be dribbling. Dribble Alive Stance: In playing a man on the perimeter who’s dribble is still alive, keep the tail low, be on balance, and have a hand up and over the ball.

  • Basic Basketball Screens (Picks) If You've Ever Watched the Game of Basketball, the Great Basketball Teams Set Very Good Screens (Picks)
    Basic Basketball Screens (Picks) If you've ever watched the game of basketball, the great basketball teams set very good screens (picks). Screens (picks) will open up your offense in many ways. It doesn't matter if you primarily use aball screen offense or an open post offense. For example, when an offensive player sets a good screen (pick) the offensive player receiving the screen will have a good opportunity to score and pass to someone who is open. Once the defense adjusts, the screener often becomes wide open for shots. If you're setting good screens, it'll open your game as well. Most of all, it benefits the TEAM. In this article, we will cover what a screen is, how to set a screen, how to run off a screen, and how to use basic screens. Here's the definition of a screen: When an offensive player legally blocks the path of a defender to open up another offensive player for a shot or to receive a pass. Fundamentals of the Screener (Person setting the screen): Feet should be a little wider than shoulder-width apart. It's very important to have a wide, strong base. Hands should be crossed across your chest (girls) or protecting your groin area (boys) The screener needs to be stationary as the screen is set. Otherwise, the screener will be called for a offensive foul. Body should be vertical (should not be leaning forward or backwards). Square to the defender. The middle of the screener's chest should be in line with the defender's shoulder and hips.

  • Screens / Legal and Illegal
    SCREENS / LEGAL AND ILLEGAL A legal screen is action by a player who, without causing contact, delays or prevents an opponent from reaching a desired position. Screening situations are more difficult to administer than guarding situations. Time and distance are factors that must be considered in each screening situation. In all situations, except one, when the conditions of time and distance have been met, the one sure guide an official can use is that the screener must be stationary. If the screener is moving when contact between the screener and the player being screener occurs, the screener is guilty of a blocking foul. The only legal moving screen permitted by rule is when the screener is moving exactly the same path and same direction as the player being screened. If a screen is legally set, a player who is screened from the front or side (within the visual field) must avoid contact with the screener by going around the screener. If the screen is set outside the visual field, such as a “blind” or “rear” screen, the screener must permit the opponent, but not to exceed, one normal step toward the screen without making contact. Things to remember: 1. A screener may be as close as he/she desires, providing the screener does not make contact when setting the screen from the front or side of a stationary opponent. 2. When a “blind” or “rear” screen is set outside the visual field of a stationary opponent, space for a normal step backward must be given the screened player. 3. In all situations but one, the screener must be stationary.
