Run this simple out-of-bounds play from the University of Wisconsin, which pushed the
Badgers to a 9-point, second-half lead in the national title game.
Why use this screen & flash to the hoop play
Defenders are forced to cover perimeter action with two players moving and spread around the 3-point chance.
Set up the play
Start in what looks like a Horns set with your two big players at the elbows, and two guards near the corners. For Wisconsin, Frank
Kaminsky is at the right elbow (5).
How to play
4 screens for 1 as 5 comes across and sets another screen if 1 needs it.
1 curls high. 3 moves from the ball-side to the weak-side corner [1].
As the defense focuses on 1 and 3 on the perimeter, 5 flashes to the
ball after setting the screen.
2 makes the pass to 5 [2].
5 goes up strong and fights off the defenders, possibly drawing a foul.
2 comes into play and 3 moves out of the corner in prep for transition
defense [3].

How to perfect the technique for this play
It helps if 5 can score with either hand as in this example, the right-handed Kaminsky caught the ball slightly to the left of the hoop, so he powered the ball up with his left hand and scored.
Flood one side of the floor, then seal the other side to set up a dribble drive for an attacking layup or a kick-out pass for a 3-pointer against a 2-3 zone. MORE
Rather than simply being content with controlling the tap in the backcourt, run this play to screen an unsuspecting defender and create a layup opportunity at the hoop. MORE
