PLAY #43: "STAGGER SLIP"

3 SECONDS TO WIN

PLAY INTENT

This quick-hitting SLOB uses a decoy stagger screen to create a sudden, wide-open corner exit for your shooter. By having the primary screener intentionally “slip” the action before contact, it completely short-circuits the defense’s switching rules and catches them completely off guard.

FINAL THOUGHT

Defenses are trained to communicate through screens, but you can’t communicate a screen that never happens. By weaponizing the “slip,” you turn the defense’s own discipline and communication rules against them, creating a wide-open shot out of thin air.
