Screening actions to create Triple Gaps
4 quick hitters for Drive and Kick Teams
Hey Coaches,
It’s Dribble Drive Motion Monday and today’s share is false motions to create gaps to get a downhill attack for your playmaker(s).
One of the big 3 in the Dribble Drive Motion Offense is to create gaps. As defenses are learning how to defend the Dribble Drive Motion offense better teams are getting creative with using false screening actions to create gaps.
Here are four actions you can put into to improve your drive and kick offenses.
Fake Double Staggers - FGCU Karl Smesko 5 out DDM spacing
Double Staggers to get the defense reacting to the screens to keep the help side occupied and drive the gap.
This action can easily be adapted for traditional DDM 4 out 1 in spacing and just use a single pindown instead of the double stagger.
Learn more ways to play out of double stagger by checking out the clinic I did on it.
Ghost Veer - Arkansas WBB - Mike Neighbors
Ghost and Veer actions creating big gaps the opposite slot gets to stretch spacing.

Double Elevator - Arkansas WBB Mike Neighbors
Using Double Staggered with a elevator screen with Fan Action to create the gap.
This could also be used to set up a jump shot but they used it as a decoy to occupy the defense in this possession to get a layup off the downhill attack
Horns Over Clear - Arkansas WBB - Mike Neighbors
This action is very common but lots of teams like to get to the Over player coming off the screening action.
