Description

Practice closeouts, help defense, rips throughs.

Summary

Start with 3 players on the perimeter, outside the 3-point line. One player is in the lane. A coach floats outside the three-point line. Other players wait under the basket out of bounds. The coach passes to a perimeter player. The lane player closes out and defends. The offensive player sweeps and attacks the basket. The next player in line steps onto the court as the help defender. If stopped by the help defense the offensive player must stop under control and pass to an open teammate. Other perimeter players must move into position to receive the pass. When the pass is received the perimeter player returns the ball to the coach. The “help” defender becomes the lane defender. The coach passes to another perimeter player and the drill continues. X-REF –BALL HANDLING
