Patrick Hunt screen the zone
 | 1 That's a Foul, April 2004 a) 4 screens the bottom defender, 3 can work the sideline for a skip pass. See Zone set play - Fresno 20 series. In addition to screening, other keys in beating a zone are: - fast break, and an early zone attack from transition - attack the glass with at least 3 rebounders - get high-percentage shots the first 3-4 possessions - pass with patience, the zone will deteriorate after a few passes - reverse the ball - take it away from a shooter, bring it back - use pass fakes to shift the zone - gap the zone (alignment) - gap and freeze dribble, dribble entry - putting posts behind the zone (e.g., level with the backboard, or short corner) - attack from the back (run players baseline, flash into the post from behind, look for lob passes). Patrick Hunt - Motion offence and Screening The Zone (YouTube video) - go 3-out 2-in against a 2-3 zone, posts stand level with the backboard, stretch the zone both ways (go three deep against a 3-2 zone, with two guards, force the zone to change its alignment) - you have to screen a good zone - screen the back, e.g. 4 screens the weakside bottom defender for a skip pass to 3 - if the defender goes out over the screen, 4 steps in, screens the middle defender, and posts up (seals) - if the ball goes inside to 4, 5 screens the back of the zone for a pass to 2. |
 | 2 b) 4 screens the middle defender, will be open inside if the bottom defender comes out on 3. |
 | 3 c) 4 and 3 screen, 1 flares for a skip pass. See Zone set plays - Fresno 20 series, Pitt, Larry Brown double flare.
|
 | 4 d) 1 dribbles off the top screen. See Zone offence - Duke, Zone set play - Coach K screen the zone (3 screens the top of the zone for 1), 5star screen. |
 | 5 e) 4 can post up inside after screening the middle. |
 | 6 f) 4 screens the top player then dives inside to post up. YouTube - 4 comes up to screen the defender on the ball, 1 comes off, 3 drifts to the corner, 4 goes down to post the middle defender, force the zone to play man to man - 5 can screen the back of the zone for a pass to 2 - need to be careful about defensive balance3. See Zone set play - Nash corner. |
 | 7 g) 1 uses a dribble entry, 3 shallow cuts high. YouTube - 3 shallow cuts out top, 1 passes to 3 who swings it to 2, 1 and 4 screen the back, 3 flares for a skip pass (see above) and shot.  |
