2 v 2 DDM Decision Making Work

O1 starts with the ball just behind the 3pt line

X1 starts on O1's hip (or behind O1 to create a greater advantage)

Position O5 & X5 as you see fit, however I normally position them on split line & weak-side block.

As soon as O1 takes their 1st dribble, we are live

Note: O1's first read should be "Attack the Rim" to score, only passing if their lay-up is taken away from X5

3 v 3 DDM Decision Making Work

The set up of the 3v3 is the same as the 2v2 phase, we have simply added a weak-side shooter.

O2 must move/slide according to where O1 drives, they should be "diagonal" to each other.

Note: O1's first read should be "Attack the Rim" to score, only passing if their lay-up is taken away from X5

Note II: A verbal queue we use for O2 to is "get to where the ball can see you" so you can be a scoring option on the kick out.

4 v 4 DDM Decision Making Work

The set up of the 4v4 is the same as the 3v3 phase, we have simply added a ball-side shooter/wing.

O2 & O3 must move/slide according to where O1 drives, O2 should be "diagonal" to O1 & O3 can either lift OR back door cut according to what O1 does with the ball.

Note: A verbal queue we use for O2 to is "get to where the ball can see you" so you can be a scoring option on the kick out.

Note II: O3 should look to either hold for the catch n shoot OR lift for the catch n shoot if X3 commits to help D early. Another read we encourage O3 to make is if there is a straight line between them-defender-ball, then they must back door cut.

5 v 5 DDM Decision Making Work

Second weak-side shooter has now been added (O4), everything else is the same as previous diagrams.
