Finally!! Mandatory Moves Is Available!

Press play -> for Ed Schilling's webinar, presented by HoopClinics

Purpose: This drill emphasizes pushing the ball up the middle of the floor and sprinting the lanes.

Organization: Start with a line on opposite corners of the floor and a man with a ball under each basket.

Procedure:

1 and 3 outlet the ball to the first man in their line (2 and 4).
1 and 3 follow their passes and sprint the floor for a return pass and shot on the other end.
The man who receives the outlet pushes the ball up the middle to the opposite free throw line. At the free throw line he makes a jump stop and a bounce pass for a lay-up.
The passer then rebounds the shot and outlets the ball. He sprints the lane, becoming the shooter on a return trip down-court.
The shooter goes to the end of the line in the corner.

Coaching Points:

The ball-handler should get to the free throw line in as few dribbles as possible. For high school boys, this means he should get there in no more than 3 dribbles.
Run Wide. Players should run the lanes wide, sprinting near the sideline.
When they approach the 3 point line, they should angle in, changing direction and cutting straight to the basket.
The ball-handler should make a 2 foot jump stop at the free throw line and deliver a bounce pass to the shooter for the lay-up. This gives him the option to shoot the ball if the pass isn‟t available and the situation is appropriate.
