The Stack Screen

Another screen in our offensse is the stack screen.  By definition a stack screen is when a player sets a diagonal screen down for the weak side block man.  The stack screen is set around the FT Line area to take away the weak side help. 

By setting the screen higher this extra space allows for the man use the screen for a jump shot from the top and/or to refuse the screen and cut back door for the basket.

Because this screen is set higher than the block area this allows the player receiving the screen to reverse the ball and shuffle right back off a 'rescreen' by the screener or to come together with the screener and set a dribble handoff screen for a wing player.

By having so many options off the stack screen this allows players to be creative and for the defense to not be able to get a read on what we are doing.
