Basketball Play - Defensive Zig Zags

Defensive Zig Zags

Jessica Davis 10/10/2018

Each player will start in the right or left corner. The players will proceed to get in a defensive stance slide out about 3 steps and change direction into a zig zag format until the player reaches the opposite baseline. Once each player gets to the opposite end of the court, the players can re-start the drill. See More

Basketball Play - Player Development: Diamond Defensive Drill

Player Development: Diamond Defensive Drill

Tony Miller 07/06/2018

I firmly believe that every team should work on defensive closeouts and lateral slides in some way EVERY practice. This drill incorporates both of these skills into one drill. Coaches can set up multiple diamonds on the court. Have each player go 3-4 times then switch with a partner. Make the drill competitive by timing players.

Basketball Play - Basic Defensive Drills: Stance Focus

Basic Defensive Drills: Stance Focus

Lee DeForest 12/14/2015

1. Coach will yell "Stance" - players will slap the floor and yell "Stance" down in a defensive stance 2. Coach will say "Move" and the players will begin to chop their feet 3. Coach will point to the left or right and players will react quickly to coach changing directions Why this matters: A defensive stance is the single most important defensive fundamental a player will learn. Teaching players to react to the verbal call of "stance" will also help in a game when a team needs a defensive stop. 1. Coach will yell "Stance" - players will slap the floor and yell "Stance" down in a defensive stance 2. Coach will say "Move" and the players will begin to chop their feet 3. Coach will yell "Go" and players will slide to the opposite lane line and back across as many times as possible in thirty seconds or twenty seconds. Emphasize - movement of the feet and the first step in a direction with the outside foot. 1. Coach will partner up players. 2. 1 player will dribble to the lane line, the other player will be in a stance and move his feet. 3. Go to half court. 4. Players will switch roles at half court and go the other way. 5. The next group goes when the first group gets to half court. Emphasis: Teach the defense to move quickly with the offense. Try to keep their head on the ball. Go half speed until the players learn the drill. The offense should try to keep their head up while dribbling. 1. Offense is ahead of the defense. 2. Slower players need more space. 3. The player with the ball dribbles to the rim to make a lay-up. 4. The defensive player, without fouling, tries to run to a spot in front of the defense. No shot blocking. 5. Move less skilled players closer to basket. Emphasis - try to stop the ball without fouling by forcing the offense to change directions on the fast break. The offense works on staying in control to make the lay-up. See More

BCAM - Matt Bollant Buzz Defensive Principles Guards & Wings

Dennis Hopkins 10/23/2015

Formation: 1. 1 & 2 play in the passing lanes to force a bounce or lob pass. 2. 3 & 4 set up with there back to the corner. 3. If 3 or 4 are covering the low post or baseline runner on drop to the basket as far as necessary. 4. 5 denys any high post pass. Go as high as needed. 5. 5 is not responsible for lobs over the top to the basket. Guards: 1. Play the passing lanes to the wing. 2. Fake traps and drop into passing lanes. 3. On a pass to the wing, 2 turns to play the passing lane. 4. On the pass to the wing, 1 covers the high post on the high side only going as deep as necessary. Guards: 1. On the pass back to point, 1 loops back to original spot. 2. 2 turns to play the passing lane. ** 1 must resist running to the ball and run to the passing lane. Guards: On a pass to corner from the wing all players must shift hard. 1. 1 drops to cover the weakside lane. 2. 2 covers the high post. Players read the shoulders to try and determine and prepair for the next pass. 3. On a pass back to the wing 2 would slow the ball and 1 would recover to the high post. Forwards: 1. The position themselves with their backs to the corner splitting the players of the wing and post. 2. 3 & 4 must steal lob passes from the top. 3. The deeper the ball is on the floor by the point guard the deeper the forwards must be to the low post. Forwards: 1. On a pass to the wing the strongside forward positions himself in line within the passing lane to the corner. 2. The weakside forward moves to the baseline to take any lobs to the low post. 3. The weakside forward must also be ready for the skip pass. See More
