Multi-Option Screen & Roll Offense

Coach Phillips explains how instrumental the screen & roll has been to the early success of his program while competing against the bigger NCAA Division I basketball teams.

Coach Phillips' system is tremendous for battling teams that pressure passing lanes and have bigger, more talented players. He begins with a 2-on-2 set-up, covering three types of ball-screens:

• Vertical: Basic flat screen above the three-point line with "Phoenix Action."
• Standard: With the screener facing a sideline, Phillips teaches you how to read the hedge man and the options available.
• Chip: Screen in transition where the screener sets and pops.

With these three ball-screen options, Phillips demonstrates how to "pink" and "plus" the screen to counter defensive pressure and weakside help. He also demonstrates options whereby the screen posts after rolling or creating a mismatch by screening away for a shooter.

Phillips goes into a 5-on-0 setting to demonstrate the three sets used in his screen and roll offense: Gold, Open, and Vertical. Phillips' stresses the importance of putting your players in the best possible positions to make smart decisions. He covers a variety of defensive pressure scenarios including hard hedges, traps, and switches and what you can do to neutralize the defense.

This video is a must for any team, at any level, that is looking create mismatches on the offensive end of the floor.
