Description

Practice close outs, denial and help defense.

Summary

Set up three defenders in the lane, side by side. Set up four offensive players – one in each corner and one on each side at the top of the three-point circle. A coach stands at the baseline with a ball. The coach passes to an offensive player. The defender nearest the ball closes out on the receiver. Another player denies the pass to the closest offensive player and the third defender gets in help position and gaps the remaining two offensive players. On the next pass the defenders adjust to close out, deny and help / gap.
