The reason for the fake handoff action is to get the weak side defenders to focus on the ball, and then not be able to extend and help out on the double screen. So really focus on selling the fake handoff and then set good screens for the shooter coming off for the shot. This is a great basketball play to run for a shooter that is having trouble getting his shot off.
