Instructions

    Read #1: Defense helps up

  • Offense 1 (O1) makes a dribble move and drives hard into the gap.
  • If Defense 2 (D2) steps up to help, O2 fades to corner for jump shot or drive
  • O1 passes to O2.

    Read #2: Defense helps Across

  • Offense 1 (O1) makes a dribble move and drives hard into the gap.
  • If Defense 2 (D2) helps across, O2 cuts behind (or follows) O1 for jumpshot or drive in the paint.
  • O1 passes (or hands back) to O2.
  • O1 fills out to wing position after pass.

Points of Emphasis:

  • Player with the ball should drive the ball hard in the gap, ultimately to get to the rim.
  • Player without the ball is reading his defender to make the correct cut for a scoring move.
  • Importance of ball handler attacking the rim must continue to be emphasized.
  • Coach can very the location and angle of the on-the-ball defender.

Motivation/Teaching Tips:

  • "Get to the rim" - We want the ball handler attacking the gap to get to the rim.
  • After demonstration, the drill should be played at game speed.
