Type: Transition

 

Description:

Two players assume "tandem" defensive position at

one end, all other players form 3 lines at baseline at

opposite end. Player in middle line has ball.

 

Three players (first in each line) bring ball down

court to play 3 on 2 versus the two defenders.

 

As soon as defenders get ball, or a score is made, the two

defenders play 2 on 1 in the opposite direction against either,

a) the shooter, in the case a shot was just taken (made or missed), or,

b) the person who turned over the ball, in the case an interception 

    was made, or violation occurred.

 

The other two offensive players remain to be defense for next three players.

 

 

Variations:

1. Have players throw ball off backboard, rebound ball and

    outlet to start drill rather than just running off lines.

2. Must make certain number of passes in transition.

3. Start next 3 coming down court while 2 on 1 is still coming back (create traffic).

 

 

Points of Emphasis:

1) Run lanes hard, cut to basket at free-throw line extended.

2) Sprint.

3) Correct defensive play of 3 on 2 situation, that is,

a) tandem alignment,

b) front defender takes ball,

c) rear defender takes first pass and front player drops.

4) Correct offensive play of 3 on 2 situation, that is

a) outside players stay wide and cut to basket,

b) ball-handler draw front defender

c) ball-handler make good pass to most open player and cut 

    to ball-side elbow.

5) Driving lane, passing lane concept.

6) Communicate (both offense and defense).

7) Take the ball to the basket hard.

8) On turnover get straight into offensive transition.

9) On made shot, step out of court and get in-bound pass in quickly, 

    straight into offensive transition.
