Pick and Roll offense

Ball Screen offense starts with this........

Can your post players score one on one in the post?

Can your guards get in the paint and draw help?

Your kids have to be able to do those things first because for example if you play a bad team and they just switch pick and rolls then you have to be able to drive or post those switches, and if your kids are bad at doing those things then you won't score.  

To me one of the biggest things about playing this way is where a motion offense is run to try to catch the defense in a mistake (I apologize if that is too much of a generalization) Pick and roll offense has a solution to every action.  That is defense will have to leave something open every time you run a pick and roll and so you as a coach have to teach them to make the correct read for every scenario.

I liken it to a football coach teaching a quarterback to read coverage when his receivers are running pass routes.

In a nutshell the actual offense would be a bunch of entries

flat screen

floppy

baseline stagger

Iverson cut

into continuous side and high ball screens.  

In motion you teach your kids good off ball movement and reading habits, in ball screen offense you constantly teach your kids how to space the floor and get to a screening action.  

Then you can teach your guards some little tricks that can screw with peoples coverage.
