The Latest Inside...
Free Throw Fast Break Drill
Work on free throw shooting as well as offensive and defensive performance in a 3-on-2 fast break situation.
Backcourt Sideline Advantage Play
The Sideline Advantage Play is an out of bounds play that can be used when inbounding the basketball from the defensive sideline when there are mere seconds left in the game. It is most effective when the defense is playing man-to-man defense with some pressure so you can create a numerical advantage at the offensive end of the court.
When to Press
If it isn't your style to press the entire game, when should you press? Should you press at all? Which type of press might work best? We answer a these questions and more so you can understand when to apply pressure and how it can help you win more basketball games.
Basic Zipper Set Play
The Zipper Set utilizes a zipper cut and is generally run out of the box set formation. This Basic Zipper Set Play includes 2 zipper cuts and a ball reversal to create a triple threat opportunity for the perimeter guard.
1-3-1 Control Game Offense
The 1-3-1 Control Game Offense is a continuity offense with a baseline roamer. This offense works equally well against man-to-man or zone defenses and is designed to control tempo and get open shots, specifically layups.
Detecting and Defending Individual Weaknesses
Ideas and strategies to help you detect and defend individual weaknesses in your opponent as well as how and why you should use that knowledge to your advantage. Learn to detect their weaknesses and how you can take advantage.
Reversal Read
The Reversal Read sideline inbounds play can be used most effectively when taking the ball out of bounds near the free throw line extended. The objective is to make the defense move and create open scoring opportunities by reversing the basketball quickly.
Choosing Your Basketball Offense
How do we know what offense to run? When should we make the decision? This article does not tell you what offense to employ as only you can decide what is best for your team. It does, however, offer up strategies and tips that will help you understand what needs to go into the decision-making process
