Lock-and-Trail: A technique where a defender “locks” onto an offensive player and dictates that the player use an off-ball screen, then “trails” behind the player.

Kick-Out (or Scram) Switch: A second, off-ball switch used to neutralize the advantage from an initial switch.

Cover Down: A weak-side rotation where a defender sinks down to an offensive big near the basket to cover for a teammate providing help.

Drag: A ball screen set in transition or early offense by a trailer to exploit an unset defense.

Double Drag: Two consecutive ball screens set in early offense by trailers, with one screener popping & the other rolling to the rim.

Ice: A side pick & roll coverage where the on-ball defender wedges themselves between the ball handler and the screener, forcing the ball handler toward the sideline.
