| 2 Attackers then pass the ball around. A defender two passes away has both feet in the paint (but make adjustments). If there is ball pressure, 2 can't throw a line-drive skip pass.
Progression - the top attacker passes, basket cuts, and is replaced (Negaunee drill). They open to the man, snap the head. Start a shell drill with lane close-outs, e.g., flarescreen for the passer on a pass across the top, or the passer pins down.
Play 4 on 3 and 5 on 4, a weakside defender has two attackers. Lloyd Mitchell (Greenvale) - 1-2-3 pass the ball rapidly around the perimeter, later optionally let the attackers take one or two dribbles. Variation - with the ball at the top, a wing can cut through to the other side, the point player dribbles to replace him, the other wing replaces the point. See Defending - Dick Bennett 3 on 3 close-out, Dick Bennett jump to the ball, Procopio 3 on 3 shrink. |
