Pass and cut and/or pass and screen?

Basically, I tell kids to not stand still but they take that to mean run around nonstop literally lol. So the end result is never actually being 5 out.

I'm thinking along the lines of telling them to only step inside the 3 pt line if a shot goes up or if their man leaves them completely.

Then I could probably have a talk with my 3-4 good players and give them a bit more leeway and freedom?

I’d suggest pass, then cut to basket, next guy fills up.

Then the next time you pass, screen away.

Ball screens bring two defenders to the ball. Unless your guys are real strong with the ball, screens should be set off the ball more often. Send a second cutter right behind the first cutter.

Get some simple baseline out of bounds plays. I like putting the four on the court lined up across the court at foul line. The outside guys dive to block. The ball side inside man goes to ball side short corner. Now the ball side is empty up top for the weak side guy near foul line to drift over for a catch and shoot three.
