4 on 4 on 4
 | 1 Three teams, team O attacks team X. Variations - 3 on 3 on 3 or 5 on 5 on 5 (to practice half-court offence and defence) See Scrimmage - 4 on 3 zone. George Karl a) to teach their players how to play quick, they play a lot of 3-on-3-on-3 or 4-on-4-on-4 with a shot clock of 12 seconds or even 7 seconds, push it and play. In practice, players have to shoot, pass, or attack within 3 seconds of catching the ball (catch and go) or it’s a turnover. |
 | 2 a) Regular Options - no inbounds pass after a make, Ian MacKinnon - 5 on 5 on 5, no dribbling, the third team is out of bounds at halfcourt, comes in on a stop or score, and can pick up fullcourt. |
 | 3 b) Cut-throat (UNLV)If attacking team O scores they attack team 2. As in option (a), team X attacks team 2 if it stops team O. |
 | 4 c) Cut-throat with pressing If defending team X gets the ball on a stop, team O can press in the halfcourt to win the ball back, then attack the other way against team 2. If team O scores, it must inbounds the ball to attack team 2, and team X can press to get the ball and attack team 2. Variations - 2 on 2 or 3 on 3, and team 2 is on the floor at halfcourt ready to defend once the ball crosses centre (simulates full-court pressure) - one or two delay defenders for the team waiting to defend - one shot, on a miss (or on a make or miss) the team that gets the ball goes the other way - if a team wins the ball on the press, it attacks the same basket, not the other way (more game-like). Dave Arseneault - 5 on 5 on 5, make-it take-it with pressing, attackers have 10 seconds to shoot once the ball crosses halfcourt or place the ball on the floor and defend. |
