pin and skip/screening question
I am wondering what to teach players when a pin and skip is being set and a drive occurs. Does the screener post slide and the perimeter player circle move?
If a player is setting a back screen and someone drives do they automatically stop what they are doing and post slide and wouldn’t it be possible that two players post slide to the same spot?

Yes – if the two players see it in time. Sometimes the drive can be so quick that it’s difficult, but neither player has their back to the ball, so they should be able to react.
The backscreen is different. The screener will often have his/her back to the ball and will not see the drive. The would-be-cutter can certainly Circle Move. Most of the time, we lose the screener, but don’t worry too much about it. The screener has occupied two defenders with the back-screen. This is probably one of the reasons the ball can be driven – there’s space (real estate) to drive because the two defenders are not in helping positions – they are in “how do we navigate this back-screen” positions.
