Categories: Ballhandling / Dribbling  Offensive Moves  
Ages: All Ages  Youth  Middle School  High School+  

Purpose of the Drill:

The purpose of this drill is for two players to work together to learn how to attack the basket after having faked a hand off as well as out of the triple threat.

Instructions

  • Player 1 dribbles both basketballs to the chair.
  • Player 1 puts one of the basketballs on the chair, he then back dribbles and changes directions to re-attack toward the wing where player 2 is cutting from.
  • Player 2 cuts toward player 1 who is coming at him.
  • Player 1 fakes the hand off and continues to the wing.
  • Once at the wing, player 1 uses a change of direction move to attack the defender and finish at the rim.
  • Player 2 continues his cut toward the original chair, picks up the basketball and shoots a jumper.
  • Then switch positions and repeat.

Points of Emphasis:

  • Dribble the basketball hard, low, and aggressively.
  • Push off your front leg on your back dribble to create separation between you and the defender.
  • Stay low on the back dribble and protect the basketball by being on a 45 degree angle and having your guard arm up.
  • Re-attack the wing at game speed.
  • Make your change of direction moves low and quick.
  • Keep your shoulder at around the height of the top of the chair while maintaining your balance as you go by.
  • Finish high and aggressively at the rim.
  • Vary your finishing moves (one foot, two feet, reverse, jump stop with a shot fake, etc)
  • Player 2 should cut hard, pick up the ball low and hop or step into their shot.
  • Shoot off the catch or off 1-2 bounces.

Motivation/Teaching Tips:

  • Go until a certain number of shots have been made between the two players.
  • Go for a designated period of time.
  • see which player make a designated number of shots first.
