Type: Individual Offense, Defense

Description:

Players are in groups of three. Player 1 is

passer, player 2 is offense, X2 is defense.

Player 2 gets open (V-cut, back cut, lead

from post etc.), player 1 makes pass.

X2 plays defense (deny pass, play defense one-on-one).

Offense must always square up and assume triple threat position upon receiving the ball on the perimeter.

Offense can use any offensive move, or might be instructed to use certain one by coach.  These might include:

a) Catch, square and shoot.

b) Catch, square, jab step and shoot.

c) Catch, square, jab step, shot fake and shoot.

d) Catch, square, jab/fake step and strong side drive into jump shot off dribble.

e) Catch, square, jab/fake step and crossover drive into jump shot off dribble.

f) Catch, square, jab/fake step and strong side drive into power lay-up.

g) Catch, square, jab/fake step and crossover drive into power lay-up.

Players rotate X2 becomes passer, 2 becomes defense, 1 becomes offense.

Can have two groups at each basket.

Variations:

1. Only token defense if players need practice on moves.

2. Make X2 close out from a distance.

3. Use different positions on court.

Points of Emphasis:

1. Catch and square into triple threat every time.

2. Stay balanced.

3. Fool the defense with realistic jabs and shot fakes.

4. Read the defense - take what they give you.

5. Intensity - game pace.
