A short coaching-focused YouTube clip (Ethan Khoza) explaining the offensive importance of setting screens. The speaker emphasizes using away screens to force defensive movement—creating a "trigger" that can produce curls, backdoor cuts, or open scoring opportunities for teammates when defenders are forced to react.

The other aspect of the 95 is screening, and this is such a massive part. And again, it seems elementary, and you might think that it's kind of boring, but it's so important. When you're not sure what you're doing offensively, when you have the ball in your hands, you're just standing there and not nothing's happening. The best thing you can do is go set a screen. Go set an away screen, ideally. Okay. Because what you're going to do in these moments is that you're going to force the defense to move. And when we force the defense to move, that's what we call a trigger. Because now the defense has to guard the screen a certain way. If you go set a screen and they chase your teammate over the top, your teammate can tight curl the basket. You just created something for your teammate by going and setting a screen and setting what we call a trigger in the same way, what could happen is that you set that screen and your teammate goes with a backdoor cut, and your defender has to help on that. And now you might be wide open right there.
