Stagger Screen Reads vs Live Chaser

Setup

A shooter starts under the basket, two chairs (or two screeners) form a stagger on the lane line toward the wing, and a passer is at the top. A defender starts on the shooter's hip.

How it runs

1. Shooter walks his defender toward the baseline, then sprints up off the stagger.
2. Defender chooses a coverage each rep: trail, cut under the second screen, or top-lock.
3. Shooter reads: trailed means curl toward the lane, cut under means flare back to the corner, top-locked means back-cut to the rim.
4. Passer delivers on time for the chosen cut; shooter catches and shoots or finishes.
5. Rotate shooter to defender, defender to passer, passer to shooter.

Coaching point

Set up the screen by getting close to it; shoulder to hip as you pass each screen.
