Hey Coaches,

One of the things you run into as a High School coach is trying to find offensive actions that fit your personnel. Depending on the kind of school you coach at the skills of your players may be drastically different from one year to the next. One of the Actions that I experimented with this season was Roll & Replace Action.

At the High School level, you often run into the problem of having post players who are useful on the defensive end of the floor but struggle to contribute offensively. What I like best about Roll & Replace Action is that it would allow me to use non-dominant “post players” in a more natural way. It would allow the bigs to set screens, finish at the rim, and space the floor in a way that could create shots.

This action did not ask our guards to create advantages off the dribble but still allowed them to find scoring opportunities as the ball handler in screen & roll action and through the quick pitch pass when the defense helps off the corner. If your guards are not excellent creators off the dribble this ball screen can give your offense the chance to create advantages when the defense miscommunicates.

If you are looking for a simple offensive action to use next season I created a good resource to break this down, with suggestions on how to flow into my favorite offensive sets as well.
