hiding weaker players
I know how to hide players in the zone offense, make them permanent weakside pinners. However we have recently had some teams sag really far off of one of our players and I don’t think setting a pin screen for her will work since she really is not much of an offensive threat. Do you just have her hunt to set pin screens or ball screens for others? What do you do to “hide” your players in the man version of the offense.

Ball screens with the weak player will put 2 offensive players against one defender. There’s no one to help or switch.
Other players will have to set Pin Screens for her since it’s her defender that is sagging in the lane. If she can’t catch or can’t drive or can’t feed the post (the pin screener) and Laker Cut or (better) X-Cut, then the only thing left to do with her is let her play on the perimeter. She is easy to pass to and she should have very little trouble passing and cutting if her defender is not guarding her. When she cuts, she should “Oops” screen for a Draft Driver or cut hard and “Oops” her own defender in the lane so that a teammate can Draft Drive behind her.
Hope this helps!

How about parking them at weak side short corner? Screen for cutters occasionally, get offensive boards and put backs, and every once in a while a dish from dribble penetration. Going to weak side, you have some good screening action.
Not a fan of ball screening with a player who is no threat to roll.
