Coaches’ Corner- Alabama’s Flare Slip




















When we go vs. switching man to man defenses, we are always looking for ways to slip screens or run ghost screens. Usually if we are going to slip a screen, it is off of a ball screen. This is a different way to slip a screen. 















The initial action is a screen to send #5 into the post, and have #3 pop to get the ball just off the elbow. 

In the second diagram, #4 is going to set a flare screen for #2. If they are switching, #4’s defender may be slow to get out to cover #2. The option that is being looked for is to have #4 slip the screen and go to the basket.
