About This Play/Drill

ACE is one of the ball screen concepts in the Villanova Four-Out Motion Offense.

ACE is a side ball screen set by the interior play on the wing. It can sometimes be set by a perimeter player as well. Instead of the automatic roll in ROLL, the screener pops for a shot and throwback option.

Weakside players exchange. Slot player shades to the weakside of the midline to leave double gap for the drive.
