Switching Man to Man defense can be tough to attack. Bob Anderson (Williamsfield) and Evan Massey (Galesburg) share some ideas for attacking when the defense is switching.
Bob Anderson- Williamsfield
Screen Away with Slip
Fade Screen with Slip
Give and Go Cut
Pass to the Top- Slip Screen Away
Evan Massey- Galesburg
Back Screen with Slip
Diagram #1- Start the ball to one side, and reverse it to the wing cutting thru.
Diagram #2- #4 cuts hard toward the ball but to be a screener. As soon as #4 makes contact, #4 slips right to the basket. It will not be unusual for X4’s defender to hesitate on the switch and leave 5 open on the lob.
Ghost Screen & Go
Diagram #1- #3 goes to set a ball screen but does not screen. It helps if #3 just taps X1 on the hip, this minor contact sells the idea of a screen.
Diagram #2- While #3 may be open for the shot, often their defender will be out of position so a catch and drive is a quick option.
Fake Hand Off
Diagram #1- #1 goes to give a dribble handoff. #2 wants to come high and wide to try to pull their defender out of position on the switch.
Diagram #2- #1 wants to hesitate then go.
Post Screens Away on Shooter with Confusion
Diagram #1- #2 (shooter) swings baseline off #3 to create some confusion- either X3 or X5 may decide to switch this cut.
#5 will screen away for #3 (shooter) to cut high. If they are slow to switch, #3 will have nice 12 footer. #5 will seal X3 (hopefully smaller defender) to come back for a post up.
Slip for Post Up
Diagram #1- #2 clears out. #4 will back screen for #1 to go to the basket.
Diagram #2- The ball is reversed to #1 popping out. (Note that vs switching defense #1 will be guarded by X4. It may be that a backdoor can be set up for #1 or #1 will just want to catch, rip and drive.) #3 starts toward #2 to screen but slips to go across to post up. If you have a big guard, this is a great play.
Flex with Slip
As #5 goes down to screen, they will simply slip to the basket.
1-3-1 Alignment- High Post Pin and Post
 |
When #1 passes to the wing, #5 will step out and just touch X1 and immediately leave to go to the post.
2-1-2 Alignment- Seal for Lob
#2 cuts off #5. #5 seals and rolls to basket for lob.
