About This Play/Drill

The Wildcats have a number of sets which they run very effectively to get open shots for their players in spots on the floor where they can do the most damage.

This is an easy play to install at any level whereby the use of the double stagger screening action free's up either your 1 or 2 man for an open shot or gives you the opportunity to dump the ball into your 5 man.

Sean Miller is a very good recruiter, but often does get enough credit for his tactician abilities.
