[QUOTE="MC06, post: 1572781, member: 639089"] I saw a video last summer of Stephen Gentry breaking down our offense, and he said they coach our screeners to roll to the rim before making contact with the on-ball defender. I’m not enough of a basketball junkie to fully understand why that is. But I think that even without contact, the ball handler is often able to turn the corner and get his shoulders in front of the on-ball defender, and a quick roll forces the big defender into a tough choice in whether to stop penetration or stay with the roll-man. I’d be interested in hearing more from someone who knows what they’re talking about (unlike me). [/QUOTE]
