Pick'N'Roll is an offensive threat on any level and it is crucial to learn multiple aspects of ball screen coverages to be able to have an efficient defense. Austrian National Team Assistant Coach Stefan Grassegger breaks down everything you need to know to be able to guard ball screens.

In this course, Coach Grassegger breaks down:

• Different Types of Ball Screen Coverages and How To Implement Them
• Getting The Right Angles Down When Covering The Pick'N'Roll
• Mechanics of Switching
• Different Adjustment Based On Your Opponent's Player Personnel
  • Guarding the shooting big men
• Special Mechanisms of the PNR Defense and How To Teach Them To Players 
• How To Scout PNR Offense and How To Create A Game Plan To Stop It

All proceeds from this course will go to the World Wildlife Fund.

In this 20 minute video, you will get to see how some of Europe's and Australia's elite Pick and Roll players employ their passing skills to dissect opposing defenses. You will see how to attack passive coverages, as well as aggressive ones. Furthermore, this video will give you technical details to each pass alongside the tactical implications for it. As an added bonus, this video contains clips from smaller ballhandlers (such as David Holston) as well as taller Pick and Roll maestros (such as Joe Ingles). Hence, there should be enough takeaways for each of your players. If you want to have a free preview of the video, check out my blog (https://medium.com/@stefan_hannes_grassegger) in the next few days, as I will upload accompanying pieces.

The post position has evolved from just playing with your back to the basket to being able to execute a variety of skills.  With the pick and roll being a huge part of a teams offensive philosphy, post players must be able to play off a vareity of PNR angles, along with a mix of roll actions.  In this clinic, Austrian national coach Stefan Grassegger teaches the essential foot work and reads for players against passive coverages, along with utilziing dribble hand offs.
