This is an excellent drill for teach players to play with their backs to the basket while, at the same time, working on offensive and defensive rebounding. This is a very intense drill that will really work your players. This is also a good drill for making players physical and getting them use to contact.
ASSIGN TWO PLAYERS TO A BASKET.
ONE PLAYER STARTS ON OFFENSE, THE OTHER PLAYER WILL BE DEFENSE
PLAYERS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO PLAY IN THE PAINT.
COACH WILL EITHER GIVE A ONE MINUTE TIME LIMIT OR A POINT TOTAL TO END DRILL.
THE DRILL WILL START WHEN THE COACH BLOWS THE WHISTLE.
THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER TRIES TO SCORE USING ANY NUMBER OF MOVES. HE MAY BOUNCE THE BALL AS MUCH AS HE LIKES (THE NUMBER OF BOUNCES SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THREE OR FOUR)
WHEN THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER SHOOTS, THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER BOXES OUT THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER.
IF THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER MAKES THE SHOT OR IF THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER GETS THE REBOUND, THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER TAKES THE BALL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PAINT AND NOW SWITCHES TO OFFENSE.
IF THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER GETS THE REBOUND, HE SIMPLY STAYS ON OFFENSIVE AND CONTINUES TO TRY TO SCORE.
2
MAKE SURE PLAYERS STAY IN THE PAINT.
INSTRUCT PLAYERS TO USE PUMP FAKES AND UP AND UNDER MOVES (PLAYERS SHOULD TRY TO AVOID TURNAROUND JUMPERS-THIS SHOT GETS THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER AWAY FROM THE PURPOSE OF THE DRILL--CONTACT).
HAVE YOUR ASSISTANT COACHES WATCH SEVERAL OF THE GROUPS (SINCE THIS DRILL IS SO PHYSICALLY DEMANDING, PLAYERS MAY TRY TO REST IF THEY ARE NOT BEING WATCHED).
MATCH PLAYERS UP WITH DIFFERENT POSITIONS.
LIMIT NUMBER OF TIMES A PLAYER MAY BOUNCE THE BALL.
HAVE PLAYER TAKE ONLY CERTAIN SHOTS (SUCH AS HOOK SHOT,ETC...)
