Instructions for Option 1: Over the Top

This simulates what the guard can do if the defense beats the ball over the top of the screen.

- Set screen on an angle toward the corner.
- Ball should be brought below the screen. That, in combination with the angle the screen is being set at makes it very difficult for the defense to get over the top.
- Experiment with different change dribbles. Crossover, inside-outs, spins and half spins are all very effective in going over the top or turning it down.
- Ball handler should explode off the screen. His first thought should be to get separation off the screen. He should get as much distance as possible off the screen with his first dribble. This will be a major benefit when teams hedge or trap on your screens. When done properly, separating off the screen will force switches and mis-matches.
