About This Play/Drill

Shaka Smart who is the VCU Rams Head Coach is known more for his Havoc Pressure Defense, but when he switches to the offensive end of the floor then he imposes offensive Havoc on his opponents.  He incorporates ball screens into transition and his half court offense.  This potent offensive stratgegy is used throughout basketball and has become one of the best ways to get players open looks at the basket and tire his opponents.  

These ball screens will:

• Force your opponents to guard disadvantage situations
• Create roles for other players on your team
• Exploit your opponent's weak defenders

Coach Smart will show you the most important aspects of using ball screens in this set play:  spacing, timing, and screening angles.
