This quick-hitting SLOB utilizes a classic Box alignment to run a misdirection “away screen” that immediately transitions into a flare screen for your primary shooter. It is perfectly designed to punish switching defenses and exploit mismatches by opening up the rim for a devastating backdoor slip.
Most coaches think the only way to punish a mismatch is to throw the ball into the post. “Box Flare” proves otherwise. By forcing a smaller, switched defender to navigate a heavy flare screen on the perimeter, you exploit their lack of size and screen-navigation experience without ever having to stop the ball.
