What it is
- Pin-Down Into Handoff is a basketball action that an Off-Screen Shooter is initially stationed in the corner or wing.
- An Off-Screen Shooter is initially stationed in the corner or wing. A screener sets a pin-down screen (a screen set at the shooter's back, freeing them toward the top of the key).
- Over-the-top defense (the shooter's defender goes over the screen, denying the separation).
Why it matters
- If the shooter's defender is attached, the pin-down creates space.
How it works
- A screener sets a pin-down screen (a screen set at the shooter's back, freeing them toward the top of the key).
- The Off-Screen Shooter uses the pin-down, moves up the sideline, and receives a handoff from the Primary Ball Handler.
- The shooter then attacks or shoots off the handoff.
- Optimal Pairing: Off-Screen Shooter (initial shooter) + Stretch Big (screener) + Primary Ball Handler (handoff partner).
- The Off-Screen Shooter is the primary scorer on the action.
