Reconcile the split between "less is more" and introducing actions that will play later.
First a few absolutes:
- Skill comes first. "We can't run what we can't run."
- Cut hard. Separate and finish.
- On time, on target passing...
- Take care of the basketball. Turnovers are zero percent possessions.
- Take quality shots. Bilas: "It's not your shot, it's our shot."
The purpose of the ball screen is not to set the ball screen.

The purpose is to gain an advantage. If you gain the advantage before the ball screen, use the advantage. pic.twitter.com/sUyZ7y7CIX
2) Off-ball screening. For example, pass and screen away and zipper cuts off down screens, especially to inbound the SLOB.
3) Complex screening
- Stagger (including Iverson)
- Sequential (e.g. corner rip) - below
- Screen-the-screener
- Backscreen the roller (Spain)

Lagniappe 2. Find ways to "work smarter, not harder." Pick a few that will work for you.
