Offense - Flash, Roll and Fade off the Screen

When using an off the ball screen, there are a few things that a player can do to get open. The player using the screen can either flash, roll or fade off the screen.

If the defender cheats over the screen, in other words going over the screen in front of you, then instead of following, flash behind the screener so that you are between the basket and defender in good position to receive a pass and score.

If the defender follows you around the screen, then curl to the basket so again, you are between the basket and defender in good position to receive a pass and score.

If the defender avoids the screen completely by sagging towards the key they have an advantage whether you flash or roll. In this scenario, you can not use the screen at all and fade towards the three point line. This gives you plenty of space between the defender and you so you can setup and shoot. Here is a link to a video where Rick Pitino demonstrates how fades work off the screen: Pitino Training Video

These off the ball mvoes can be used if they do not disrupt the offense the team is running. In some cases you cannot do these things unless the offense allows for these different cuts off the screen.
