The Screening Game Offense: A Championship Motion System for Any Roster
Tired of watching your offense stall out against switching defenses? Sick of predictable sets that lead to bad shots, cluttered paint touches, and 1-on-1 hero ball?
When your players stand static, defenses have an easy job. Traditional set plays get scouted quickly, clog your driving lanes, and leave non-shooters standing in the corners feeling unused.
Enter Coach Bob Martin’s Screening Game Motion Offense.
By blending legendary concepts from Bobby Knight, Don Meyer, and Dick Bennett with modern spacing, screening, and passing principles, Coach Martin created a positionless, free-flowing system that forces endless defensive rotations and creates open looks on nearly every possession.
📹 Video Highlights & Key Coaching Takeaways
Follow along with Coach Bob Martin as he breaks down the Screening Game on the white board and in live action:
- [00:00:54] Spacing & High-Low Rules: Learn why keeping two screeners opposite and high-low maintains floor balance and forces continuous defensive movement.
- [00:01:34] Post-Screen Pop-Outs & Cuts: How screeners can immediately hunt for the ball or post hard after setting contact.
- [00:03:34] Real-World Championship Track Record: Coach Martin breaks down his team’s 39% 3-point average, and 15-assist average that brought home a state title.
- [00:07:16] 4v4 Small-Sided Breakdown Drill: How to restrict roles (screener vs. cutter) in 4v4 practice settings to teach organic decision-making.
- [00:08:25] Staggered & Flare Action: Watch how natural player movement generates staggered and flare screens without calling structured sets.
- [00:10:03] 5v5 Live Execution: See how executing 4+ screens in a single possession breaks down a 30-second shot clock defense for open corner 3s.
- [00:11:42] End-of-Quarter Flat Ball Screen Special: A simple, high-percentage spread set to execute at the end of shot clocks or quarters.
The Math Behind the Motion
This isn't just theory - the numbers back up the system. Analytics show that executing 1 ball reversal raises your points per possession (PPP) from .706 to .935. Add a paint touch to that ball reversal, and your PPP skyrockets to 1.189.
During Coach Martin's state-championship-winning run in Georgia, his teams posted elite numbers:
- 39% Team 3-Point Percentage (Top 3 in the state of Georgia)
- 37% Offensive Rebounding Rate (up from the typical 30%)
- 1.5:1 Assist-to-Turnover Ratio
- 90-32 Record over a 5-year span with two State Finals appearances
Core Spacing & Positioning Rules
The magic of the Screening Game lies in simple, repeatable rules that keep the floor balanced without forcing players into rigid roles:
- Keep Screeners Opposite and High-Low: Screeners must stay on opposite sides of the floor, creating continuous entry and exit movements across the 3-point line.
- The "Two-Inside" Rule: Never allow more than two offensive players inside the 3-point arc at once. Having three players inside destroys dribble-drive lanes and eliminates slipping or popping opportunities.
- Never Screen Twice in a Row: Unless specified, a player should never set consecutive screens. Double-screening leads to running in circles; instead, screeners must pop out, shape up, or post hard after contact.
- Equal Opportunity Scoring: Cutters and screeners get an equal share of open shots. Screeners aren't just sacrifice pieces - they slide directly to the rim for wide-open layups and putbacks when defenses over-rotate.
