About This Play/Drill

In the lane-wide alignment of the Mover Blocker offense, there is one lane screener just as in lane-lane. There is a wide screener that can screen from midline to sideline on his/her side of the floor. It is a good way to add spacing to the offense, utilize a skilled forward and add more variety to the screening options

Rules:

  • Lane Blocker must remain on his/her side of the floor and screen for movers ONLY along the lane line.
  • Wide Blocker can set up inside or outside and can screen from midline to sideline on their side of the court. They should screen and separate and play outside the three-point line.
  • Movers pass and cut and maintain top-side-side alignment while using screens from the blockers. READ the defense, curl, back cut and out cut depending on how the defense covers the screening action
  • This is not a patterned offense! Players play within the rules and concepts. 

In the video below, #11 Evan Nolte is the "wide" screener.

    The Blockers (4&5) must still remain on their half of the court

     

    4 is the "wide" blocker. He can set screens anywhere within the shaded area.

  • 5 is the "lane" screener (blocker) meaning he follows the rule of screening only along the lane line on his half of the floor.

     

    4 is the "wide" screener (blocker) and he now has the freedom to screen from the midline to the sideline on his half of the court.

     

    He can backscreen and separate beyond the arc. He can lineup outside the arc and set downscreens. He can set pin screens for movers exiting the lane.
