Wisconsin Screen Roll Replace

Wisconsin does a great job of utilizing the “screen roll replace” action in their offense. It’s one of the simplest ways to get a post up because of the way it moves the defense around the court. This is especially effective when you have bigs who can stretch the floor and shoot. If you don’t have two bigs who can shoot, try using a guard as the “replace” or “lift” man.

In these clips, you will see how Greg Gard uses Micah Potter & Nate Reuvers to get easy baskets. The first two show the screen roll replace with a duck in and a post up from the wing pass. In the last two clips, you will see a back screen being set as the final action to get the post up.

Watch how the passers always look inside and the patience displayed throughout the possessions.

Michigan State ATO SLOB - Screen/Re-Screen

This play was drawn up by Coach Tom Izzo on January 23, 2016 in a must-win game for Michigan State vs. Maryland.  Izzo called a timeout with just under 1:00 remaining in the first half with the ball on the sideline.  The play was executed to perfection and contained multiple actions that were hard to guard.  Take a look at the video clip and diagram below to see what happened.
