Goal: Ball does not hit the ground. Teaches: our pace, how to inbound, run the floor, pass it up, our language.

Shooting Drill: Passer becomes offensive rebounder. The whole gym competes against each other to make 5 shots in a row. The 3-pointer & put back are scored but the ball can't hit the ground for the Oreb-put back to count. Can do with 3 players & add drive - kick.

The more I coach 🏀, the more I say "my bad". As a younger coach I would get frustrated when a drill wasn't done correctly and blame "them". As an older coach, I realize it's almost always my fault when that happens. Vulnerability will change your program.

A nice way to work on attacking closeouts, playing off two feet with bodies in front and a variety of finishes in a short amount of time. Can allow players to utilize any attack or finish or coach can dictate to work certain skills.

I designed this format of running offense for a few reasons. One being to increase engagement by having all players run offense together instead of running 5 on and 5 off.

Finishing with a warm body (and not much else) at the basket can increase level of difficulty and increase focus in the drill. Here we are working on attacking closeouts and finishing vs. the "help".

Per Request: 11-man break is great drill BUT not truly game-like since Def doesn't transition. The 1st drill in video below is 3 on 2 (we gave the constraint of no dribbles) The next drill is 4-2 to 4-4 if defense can get neutral.

Benefit of conceptual offense... You don't need to play 5 on 5 to execute. SSG = Offense. Carryover between drills and skills = style of play......Nice stretch here by the Orange team at practice! Gained advantages and kept defense in rotation with ball speed.

Here is an example of adding a constraint to emphasize a skill. A player must pivot before scoring. You can add this to any 1 on 1 drill. This was on a gameday so we were finishing vs coaches.

🏀 REBOUNDING "DRILL": I love finding new drills for my teams. I think all coaches do. But we don't always need a new drill. We can get more out of our current drills by adding conditions. Here is one of my favorites called, "Animal Ball".

A lot of coaches have inquired about offense over the last few months. Most of my film has been the 5-out version but we ran 4-out for years! I make a point to help coaches fit needs for THEIR team. Let me know if I can help!

When to call a set play?
1⃣ Shot selection or decision making is deteriorating
2⃣ Three scoreless possessions in a row
3⃣ When "who" and "where from" is more important than flow.
4⃣ Dead balls
When else?

Typically our best defensive drills are SSGs. Today, we ran shell to teach and reinforce some defensive principals. We ended by giving he offense a small advantage which triggered live play. Was a nice middle ground between live play and shell.

Simple Zone Set. Can use in feeder programs but also works at varsity level. Screen the middle of the zone up. Opposite block sneak under the zone to ball side block.

GOAL: Score 32 points in 2min. If doing w/partner combine scores.
1⃣Start by shooting midrange or paint pulls (1pt).
2⃣Must make 2 in a row in order to shoot 3s (2pts).
3⃣If you miss two 3s in a row, go back to paint pulls and repeat.

Most coaches run boring, monotonous, negative practices. Players dread practice and eventually give up the game entirely. I believe there's a better way.

Tim Duncan saying a player needs "game experience" and "situational experience". Coaches often rely on game days too much to create these experiences. These should be replicated in practice through a games-based approach. I know I have been guilty of this in the past.

Two camps of 🏀 coaches... Those that do 5-0 and those that don't. Both can benefit by playing 5 on 2 or 5 on 3. Only those that are guarded can score. Defense play by your rules or add constraints.

This is a great example of our offense being an application of skills. This is a clip from 4-man workouts where we consider this "the way we play". Is this skills? offensive break down drill? footwork? passing? shooting? It's just how we play/score the ball.
