| 2 b) Closeouts
Defenders hold hands in front of the rim, coach passes from under the basket, it's live, 2 dribbles. New offence comes in from halfcourt (on each possession).
Switch all ballscreens and dribble hand-offs except in 5 on 5 drills.
Try to get 3 stops in a row for a "kill". They have to be perfect possessions, e.g. switch a ballscreen.
Option - put an undefended coach in the low post.
Progression - switch closeouts - defenders can't guard the player in front of them (e.g. X1 can't guard 1).
Jim Boone - 3 on 3 - attackers are behind the NBA 3, defenders start with hot feet, coach passes to an attacker from the basket, defenders can't close out to the guy in front of them, progressions - attackers make one pass, coach calls "change", attackers stay, new defence - after one pass it's live, attackers can score only by driving for a layup - if you get in the paint with the ball, you can kick it for a shot.
Seth Weakley (FIBA YouTube) - 3 on 3 shell - subs come in on offence (from the baseline), 3 stops in a row to win, must be first-shot stops, i.e. no offensive rebounds (defence is out on a score or offensive rebound). goxavier.com - 3 on 3 defensive cut-throat - defence wins on 3 shut-outs in a row, offence switches to defence on a score. |
