Maybe I'm mistaken, but I always thought the purpose of a pick & roll was to force a switch and thereby create a 2 on 1 situation for the offense, leaving the screened defensive player a step behind the play. It would seem to me that having the screener block out to hold the screened defender instead of releasing to become part of the offensive attack would give up that advantage.

We start our offense with guards in the blocks, posts out on the wings. The entries come from the posts screening down, gards pop to wings. Posts are supposed to screen, then reverse pivot toward middle, which places them just ouside the lane, just above the blocks. No point in going further, they would roll into each other. They screen, seal, and pop to the elbow if the wings do not open up.
We also use the screen and seal on many differnt inbounds plays. And even pick and roll is a pick, reverse pivot toward basket, then movement.
So you are right that pick and roll involves movement, but many screening actions do not involve the screener leaving that immediate area. It really depends on the situation. [/B]

What's a screen & seal?
Sounds like something I might put in my transmission.
