What distinguishes between

[no-look]

a pick and a screen? Let the knowledge flow...lol

[Dick Vitale]

A pick is OFF ball, a SCREEN is ON ball.... ::).  Really? Is that supposed to be trivia?  8)

[eknights88]

I quess it's the screen and roll then and not the pick and roll.

They are actually synonymous.  Mr DV, though never wrong, got it backwards.  You'll hear pick ON ball and screen OFF ball from most coaches and analysts.

whoops forgot to say in basketball they are synonymous.  It's okay to get caught screening your nose but not picking.

Always  heard pick was on ball and screen was off ball. Simple yet complex. Lol.

This is how the "boys in the cow pasture" view it

2 more important questions would be:  Do you box out for rebounds or block out for rebounds?  Do you run in-bounds plays or out-of-bounds plays?

I will wait for basketball royalty to address these intricacies.

Isn't a "pick and roll" an on ball screen? ;)

[Dick Vitale]

You do not set a ball PICK, you set a BALL SCREEN....You do not set a back SCREEN without the ball, you set a BACK PICK....The CORRECT term IS screen and roll, however, it has been watered down and said incorrectly so much that PICK & ROLL has been accepted as the correct term... ::) ::)...Amateurs... ::) ::) ::)... ;D

[Honest Abe]

*Nobody executes the 'screen n roll' better than John Stockton and Karl Malone! ??? ???

Doesn't quite sound right, does it?

That's why setting a 'pick' is definitely the term commonly used on the ball, hence 'pick n roll'.


*Kevin Garnett sets a 'pick' on the block which freed up Ray Allen in the corner. ???

Uh, NO!!

KG sets a 'screen' on the block... is the correct term.
In some instances, the terms are interchangeable. 

[BH85]

I believe in NFHS rules book along with NBA rule book they use screen and don't even mention pick and that covers both on and off ball screens.  Maybe it's kind of like the mythical 'over the back' or 'reaching' foul that people argue for.

Is that because they play "real" basketball at Georgetown but not at FGCU?
