Play of the Week - 1:4 Special
This play is from the Queensland U20 side who competed in the 2009 U20 Australian National Championships.
This play is quick hitting inside look for a post player off a 1 to 4 back screen.
What makes the a good option is that most coaches are reluctant, and rightly so, to switch a 1 to 4 back screen which forces the defence to play honest by helping & recovering which should lead to a shot or close out opportunity for 1 if his/her defender helps on the back screen.
Also adding difficulty for the defence is the 1 coming off a ULCA screen before setting the back screen which will make it hard for 1’s defender to help on the back screen. It is important to 1 looks to score on the UCLA cut so his/her defender does not cheat the screen.
