Purpose: This drill serves as a fantastic conditioner and reinforces some basic concepts of the fast break, such as sprinting the floor, pushing the ball to the middle of the floor, and rebounding the ball as it leaves the net. Organization: Players form 3 lines on the baseline, with the Post players in the middle line. Procedure: 1. The post player outlets the ball to either guard at the outlet spot (free throw line extended near the sideline). 2. The guard who receives the outlet takes 1 hard dribble down-court towards the middle of the floor and passes to the other guard streaking down the floor for a lay-up. 3. After his outlet pass the post sprints straight down the middle of the floor and rebounds the shooter’s lay-up as it leaves the net. 4. The guards switch side of the court and run the same drill coming back down the floor. Coaching Points: 1. Outlet men should stand with their backs to the baseline so that they can see the entire floor. 2. Outlet men should wait for the outlet before moving down-court. Trying to catch the outlet on the run can lead to turnovers and collisions. 3. The shooter sprints the floor hard on the outlet pass. He should catch the ball on the move and lay it in without dribbling. 4. The post man runs straight down the floor, as he would in a game situation. It is important to rebound the ball as it goes through the net. On the return trip down-court, the coach might have the post inbound the ball on made shots. No more than 3 seconds should pass from the rebound to the inbound pass. 5. When in-bounding, the post should move out from underneath the backboard. This is called “clearing the backboard”. The backboard can act as on obstacle to a high inbound pass if the passer neglects to “clear it” 6. The guard who makes the pass for the layup should sprint to the baseline on the other side of the floor for the return trip down-court. |
