Backside Screen

Simple half-court set using a backside screen to free up a cutter for a clean layup.

Breakdown

  • 1 enters the ball to 2.
  • 2 dribbles back to the top of the key.
  • As 2 dribbles right, 5 sets a backside screen for 3.
  • 3 cuts hard to the hoop.
  • 2 hits 3 in motion for the layup.

Coaching Tip

2 should lead 3 with the pass — this is a timing play. A well-timed pass makes the layup nearly automatic.
