Ball Screen Rescreen
A ball-screen counter where the screener immediately resets a second screen in a slightly different spot when the defense fights over the first one, giving the ball-handler a second driving angle in the same possession.

The breakdown
Reads & options
- 1.If the defense switches on the rescreen, look to post up the mismatch immediately.
- 2.If both defenders trail on the rescreen, the ball-handler should have a clean driving lane straight to the rim.
- 3.The screener can slip to the rim instead of rescreening if his own defender jumps out too aggressively the first time.
Coaching points
- The screener needs to feel the defense fighting over the first screen before committing to the rescreen — it isn't automatic every time.
- The ball-handler should stay patient off the first screen instead of forcing a drive, giving the rescreen time to arrive.
- Keep the rescreen close to the first screen's spot so the ball-handler doesn't have to travel far to use it.
