Box and 1
How does Zone attack or read and react work against a box and 1?

Don’t change what you are doing. That’s what a box & 1 wants you to do.
(1) Pass the ball away from your Good player (the one being guarded m2m) and train him to fill the empty spot VERY high. He’s being denied so he will be able to rear cut when the ball can be passed to him. He should catch it outside the arc – that’s how high he should be.
(2) Your Good player (if he’s 2 or more spots away or after cutting) should set PIN screens. This occupies two defenders because the defense is not supposed to switch off him. This allows him slip or shape up or slide to the Flank after the pass goes over his head. Just because he’s being guarded doesn’t mean he can’t get the ball. Tell him that he’s guarded the same way when it’s M2M and he still get’s the ball.

Thanks so much. We are weak girls team with one very strong player and making the skip pass is difficult for us. The team is struggling getting the ball to our best player even when open. I love how the read and react involves all players and working on increasing the skill of the other 4. Would you suggest screening for her or running the normal read and react against this setup? I really appreciate your help and thank you for the expertise. We are a small school in the middle of the Adirondacks, NY and have the girls program using the system.
