This past week I have been looking at defending ball screens in high school basketball. Most teams typically have 1 or 2 players who can use ball screens at the high school level in my opinion. So I was evaluating how I like to handle ball screens. The way I look at defending ball screens, I look at my overall defensive coverage. If I am a no-middle defensive philosophy team/ I will defend ball screens a certain way on the wing. If I was a packline defensive team I would not defend them the same way. So I would say I am a team that defends them based upon my system of play.
