One of my favorite drills - forces players to read space before the catch. Here we limited the players to one dribble. You can play fully live or add different rules to isolate certain skills.
Defender works to keep their chest in front of the ball & maintain their cushion
Offense is working their handle, change of pace, change of direction.
The defender is forced to be “reactionary” with their dribbles & move efficiently with the ball in different movement patterns.
Transition Race to the Rim: players in open space, playing at higher speeds.
Develop these 5 skills:
1. Push Dribble
2. Sever the angle - cut D off
3. Hold the line - keep D on shoulder
4. Stop quick to create space if needed
5. Get to 2 feet on balance if necessary
Owning the drive line is a MUST for good offense.
In advantage 1v1 situations you must be able to score the ball.
If we draw 2, then we grow the advantage with a kick out.
Bad driving angles bail out defenses. Force them to guard ball or their man, not both.

Finishing Work! It’s not as simple as get to the basket and lay it in. Players must understand:
✅ Physicality
✅ Positioning
✅ Footwork
✅ Fakes

Details of the hide behind 3.
The ability to consistently hit that shot is a game changer
Makes defense go over screens and force two on the ball.

6’6 Junior PG Andrew Rohde has been one of the most impressive passers in CBB. So far this season he’s averaging
9 PPG
3 RPG
5 APG
41% 3FG
At 6’6 Rohde has the size and versatility to make plays for his teammates and has impressive vision. Rohde is also good at limiting his turnovers. Hes currently one of 5 High Major players 6’6 or taller averaging 5 APG or more and the only in that group to shoot 40% from three.
Outside of his passing Rohde is also a very impressive shooter who’s shooting 41% from three and has the ability to shoot off the move, off the catch, or off the dribble. Rohde also has good touch on his floaters and can create his shot from the mid range.

This is one variations we use to diversify form shooting… adding movement, while staying locked in on form. Shooters need to be able to find their “positions” in a variety of movements & angles.
Posture: Chest & Chin up! Hips down and back.

How do you take your skill work and have it carry over to games??
In my opinion, the best way is to teach and drill the principles you want to see and then place players in situations that replicate the context and decisions they’ll face in a game.
