About this play
Flex is a man offense; zone defenders tag cutters instead of chasing them. The adaptation: keep the two guards up, let only the three low players rotate, aim the flex screen at the middle defender of the zone, and have the screener flash to the free-throw line instead of popping to the slot. The guard dribbles to free-throw line extended for passing angles into the high post, and the high-low finishes it. The zone version comes from Functional Basketball Coaching's screener-pop variation; read them if you want the whole zone adaptation.
