When running pick & roll, hitting the roll man can open up your offense to a lot of open shots opportunities. No matter what coverage the defense is running, you can hit the roll man - and if done correctly, that will create an advantage for your offense.
This advantage is something I refer to as "the moment of truth". The reason being, the defense is scrambling to recover, and your offense has a very short period of time to take advantage and get an open shot. The roll man has to make a definitive decision, and the other offensive players have to have good spacing. In this video, you will see multiple examples of reads that will need to be made in these situations, and you'll get to see both successful and unsuccessful plays out of it.
I do not own the right to these clips or this music.
