Coaches: If defender goes “under,” offense re-screens him. Eventually, you will hedge hard or “blitz” the ball handler & we will “short roll” you. In pick and roll, it’s a “cat and mouse” game to find the “solution” to the coverage. It’s drilled, practiced & perfected Huertas09.

Watch Wemby motioning to everyone as he comes up to guard this pick-and-roll. Precipitates a super clean three-way switch. -Fox switches onto KAT -Champagnie switches onto Bridges -Wemby switches onto Hart Easy to make a mistake in this coverage, but the Spurs nail it.

Will Wade's aggressive switching pick and roll defense at McNeese State is always an interesting study: -Triple switching high ball screens -Triple switching to trap -Pre switching ram or any early actions to keep the players they want in pick and roll coverage

Great breakdown by Ben Taylor on Minnesota’s ball screen coverage against Denver: the stay and rotate. We need a simple name for this coverage, any ideas?? To see the full video check out Thinking Basketball’s page.

ATTACKING THE SWITCH Playing 1v1 guards vs bigs and vice versa is so important in today’s game bc of how many teams switch on defense. Being able to quickly create space for your shot or get a paint touch against a switch means that you are keeping the advantage and able to play in dominoes.

Asked Kevin Durant to describe the Rockets offensive identity: "Put two on the ball swing it out of that. Try to target our ISOs. Go at weak defenders. We get our best offense in pick and roll. Get two on the ball and Alpi making the decision out of the trap."

One of the most predictable dribbles in basketball? The first dribble coming off a ball screen. Ant read it like a book last night to start MIN dominance— jumped the pick-and-roll switch and stole it on the bounce. We teach this exact read as a steal opportunity.

You are going to love the Backpedal Pick concept. Instead of running towards the ball carrier to set your pick, do the opposite, backpedal and give ground, as the dodger approaches the pick. Backpedaling and keeping a cushion of space makes it much harder for the on-ball defender and the picker’s man to play their coverage. The Backpedal technique basically enables you to set a legal moving pick, meaning it’s a moving target, that the defense has trouble navigating. Then at the last moment, you can set your feet and can be stationary. If the on-ball defender wants to get under the pick, they can’t find an angle to get under. Also, the picker’s man struggles because they can’t easily get “outside the pick” position as the picker keeps retreating and giving ground. It’s almost like a legal moving seal! The backpedal pick technique is deadly around the goal line, making it impossible to get under and much harder for the picker’s guy to switch or jump it! One of the biggest keys to 2-man game is great pick setting and universally, kids don’t know how to set and adjust picks. I think you’ll find this pick technique will make a difference in your offense!

Carmelo Anthony (Carmelo Anthony) says Alperen Şengün can be an MVP candidate this season "KD never played a big man you can throw the ball into, and the offense can be ran through - someone who has a similar game to Jokic" "And I can just throw the ball to Sengun, or play in the pick and roll with Sengun. Pick your poison - because Sengun going to score, or get fouled. I'm going to score, or do something with it. Pick your poison." (🔗7PM in Brooklyn)

Credit to the Hawks for cycling through pick and roll coverages late vs. Brunson -Coverage bust, Okongwu thinking it will be kept on one side, Brunson turns the corner and finishes -Hart screens, OO jumps out and then recovers to Hart -Hat screens, OO traps to get ball out
