How to teach Floppy - Double Screen

How to run this play

  1. Start 2 under the basket with 1 above the arc. 4 sets the single screen on the left, while 3 and 5 form a staggered pair on the right.
  2. 2 uses the right-side screens from 3 and 5 and comes out to the right wing.
  3. On the opposite side, 4 screens for 3, who cuts to the left wing.
  4. 1 passes to 2 as 4 clears to the left corner and 5 dives toward the rim.
  5. 2 catches ready to shoot or attacks a hard closeout.

What it creates

A wing shot for the shooter, with an opposite-side cut and a rim dive as additional reads.

When to use it

When you want to get a shooter moving off the ball against man-to-man defense.

Key reads & teaching points

  • Screeners get set and leave room for the shooter to use the screens.
  • The shooter changes pace and runs shoulder-to-shoulder past the screens.
  • Read the chase and the closeout rather than forcing the drawn shot.
