WT drill is a drill used to 'bang' cutters in the lane. Anytime there is a pick in the lane or near the lane, we demand our player's hedge and bump the cutter off path.
This can be used just about anywhere on the court, but it is best used in the paint. This keeps players from getting open looks in or around the basket and gives the defender time to recover to the their offensive man.
Place on player in the lane in the mid post area. Position two lines, one on each sideline, free-throw line extended.
A coach needs to be opposite one of the lines to make an entry pass in to the cutting offensive player. The line that is opposite the coach is the flashing/cutting offensive player.
As offensive player cuts in to the lane, defensive player must see ball and man (man cutting to basket)and 'bang' his man to knock him off path. Offensive man must try to get open in the lane. Contact is a must. If coach passes to offensive player and player catches the ball, then it becomes one on one.
