Horns Ball-Screen – Reading the Midline Defender

This video highlights reading the defensive coverage on a Horns Ball-Screen with the ball-side screener rolling to the front of the rim. The ball-handler must “engage 2” with the ball-screen & “see the help.” The midline defender guarding the opposite corner is responsible to help on the roll. Using his eyes & a ball fake, the ball-handler is able to pull this defender away from the rim anticipating the skip pass. Being able to read the help defender & making a quick decision allows the pass to be on time & on target.
