The Prevalence of the Ball Screen

Years ago, Chuck Daly held a clinic and for 90 minutes the former Detroit Pistons coach explained how to run and defend one of the fundamental plays in college basketball.
In the audience, Northwestern coach Bill Carmody sat and listened.
Daly explained nine ways to defend the pick-and-roll, from sliding under the screen to hedging the screen to different ways to force the ball-handler into a trap or away from the screen.
“After the hour-and-a-half, he said, ‘And you know what? None of them work,’” Carmody recalled
