Away Series — Wing Isolation
A clear-out set that uses an 'away' screen on the weak side to pull a defender out of the isolation player's driving lane, isolating your best wing scorer one-on-one with the floor spaced.
Reads & options
- 1. If the isolation defender gets help from the weak side, the cleared-out player should immediately relocate to the corner for the kick-out.
- 2. The screener can slip to the rim after the away screen if his own defender switches to help early.
- 3. Run the same clear-out to either wing depending on which side your best scorer is being guarded on.
Coaching points
- · The away screen has to actually occupy a defender who could otherwise help — screen the player closest to the driving lane, not just anyone.
- · Everyone not involved in the action should hold their spacing wide and deep, since a crowded floor kills the isolation.
- · Give the isolation player a clear read on the shot clock — this is a one-pass, attack-immediately action, not a slow-developing set.

Horns
A set built around two bigs stationed at both elbows, giving the offense a two-big-screen action to attack from the middle of the floor with shooters spaced in both corners.
Elevator Screen
Two screeners let a shooter cut between them, then step together to close the gap like elevator doors, sealing off the trailing defender for a clean catch-and-shoot.
Floppy Action
A shooter starts at the baseline and reads whether to cut off a single screen on one side or a double screen on the other, giving them two live options to get open.
