Call Thru when you need layered screening action near the basket to spring a cutter or free up a shooter. Your 4 sets a screen near the lane and your 3 adds a second screen near the basket, stacking the pressure on the defense. You are creating a read off sequential screens — the open player is whoever the defense does not account for first.
