Don Showalter: Continuity Ball Screen Offense



Don Showalter: Continuity Ball Screen Offense
  • Learn all you need to know about the ball screen continuity offense that helped Coach Showalter and the USA Basketball national team win gold and dominate in world competition
  • Understand how this simple yet effective offense can be implemented at any level from middle school through high school or college
  • Counter defensive tendencies as the game progresses
  • Effectively run this offense versus man or zone
  • Teach your players the reads they need to counter defensive adjustments



with Don Showalter,
Iowa City (IA) High Head Coach;
former Mid Prairie High (IA) Boy's Head Basketball Coach;
2009 USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year;
over 500 career wins;
2x USA Basketball Developmental Coach of the Year (2009-10)

Don Showalter reveals the offense that propelled the USA Basketball U16 and U17 teams to gold medals in world competition. This offense is simple enough to run at any level of competition yet effective at keeping defenses on their heels. It is simple to install and players enjoy the freedom that it allows.

Coach Showalter uses on court demonstrators to walk you through his "20" continuity offense which starts in a 1-4 high set and utilizes a ball screen on the wing to get players into what he calls the "kill area." He focuses on the details that make this offense work including the permanent pivot foot, how and where to set the ball screen, and the screen and roll versus screen and go.

Emphasis is placed on reading the defense as the ball handler comes off of the screen and Showalter teaches the reads that must be made against teams that:

  • Go behind the screen
  • Hedge on the screen
  • Double the screen
  • Switch the screen
  • Show early on the screen
Showalter also provides a number of variations designed to take advantage of tendencies established by the offense as the game progresses. The Pop Series, 21, Horns, and the Shuffle Cut are all demonstrated on court.

Finally, Showalter demonstrates how the offense can be used against a zone defense. The basic continuity remains the same but the reads change depending on the movement of the zone.

In an added bonus, Showalter takes time to provide some significant insight valuable to coaches at any level. He discusses the importance of communication and the challenges of getting players to play hard all of the time. He details the top 10 mistakes that high school coaches make and the four "C's" (Choices, Comfort Zone, Compete, and Communication) that he emphasizes with his teams.

This DVD provides coaches with all of the tools necessary to implement this highly successful offense at any level.

Produced at the Fall 2011 Omaha (NE) clinic.

69 minutes. 2012.

Coach Showalter does an outstanding job explaining the continuity pick and roll offense. I can honestly say I will install it next year on my varsity girls team. The best thing about it is its simplicity. Showalter breaks down each read on the pick and "go" which should be taught be every coach who has a pick and roll in their offense. This offense is very hard to defend if run properly. Also it is so simple you can still run flex, motion, shuffle...I can you tell I would not want opposing coaches running this offense against my teams. Absolute nightmare to defend! Coach Showalter also breaks down how this offense will be effective against zones.

I thought this was a great video. It is a very simple offense with some nice set plays out of it. Coach Showalter does a great job speaking about the offense. Watching him speak at the Pittsburgh clinic last year is part of the reason why I chose this video.

Nicely done video. Coach Showalter does a nice job of demonstrating the offense. It seems simple and seems to rely on the decision-making of the players, giving them some ownership in it's execution. I also enjoyed his teaching points. Worth the money, thanks.

This is a great dvd with a motion offense that is simple to run and understand. Coach Showalter does well in explaining the offense and some counters within the offense. He also shows how it can be used against man or zone. I would have liked about 5 minutes of live action against a zone. He also gives some great tips on his coaching philosphy. Things that will get you thinking.

Why would the preview clip be nothing that has to do with continuity ball screening offense? Makes me me worry that I am not going to view a continuity offensive video. Instead I'm going to get a clinic lecture with 5 min of continuity offense and a bunch of set plays. has anyone views this video? I've wasted too much money on ineffective videos. thanks

Championship Productions replies:
Coaches, To clarify: The first 15 minutes of this video is philosophy and why Coach Showalter runs the "20 Offense." The rest of the video is a tutorial of how to run the "20 Offense" and a collection of plays to run out off of his offense. Basically the "20 Offense" is a pick and roll motion style that can be run over and over again until a player gets an open look. But Showalter also shows a collection of set plays that can be run out of the 20 if your opponent is taking away an aspect of the offense. Hope that helps! Lonnie Kragel Championship Productions
