Side Screen/Roll
"Below Free Throw Line" (Left Side)
When the offensive post O5 steps out to set a side screen and O3 is BELOW the free throw line extended, X5 immediately traps O3 with X3.
Phase 1. Hard Double Team.
Defender X3 forces O3 to base check point and then traps O3 with X5. X1 drops to a high "I" position, X2 moves down to the low "I" position, and X4 moves across from a low "I" position to a 3/4 snuggle denial or full front on O5 rolling to basket. X5 traps ball handler O3 BEFORE the side screen is set by O5.
Phase 2. Pass Out of Post Trap.

When O3 passes the ball out to O1, X1 closes out quickly to O1, pushing O1 toward sideline checkpoint. X2 closes out to a pass denial position against open O2. X5 rotates to low post O5. X4 rotates back to O4 and X3 assumes a snuggle denial position against O3. |
Final Match Up. When O1 passes the ball to wing O2, defender X2 assumes a SET position pushing O2 to corner or baseline checkpoint. Defender X4 FRONTS the low post O4 while X1 assumes a pass denial position against O1. X3 and X5 assume Helpside I positions against O3 and O5. When matched up all of the basic defensive fundamentals apply. |
