We don’t want to allow the offensive player to waste dribbles and time. Make sure you enforce the rule of 2 or 3 dribbles maximum depending on which you decide.Offensively, this drill teaches players not to waste their dribble and teaches them how to attack a defender one on one.ĭefensively, players will learn how to keep an offensive player in front of them and challenge every shot.Īfter either a make or a miss, a new offensive player comes in, the previous offensive player switches to defense, and the previous defender joins the end of the line.
The offensive player then has a maximum of 2 or 3 dribbles to attack the ring and get a clear shot. By handing the basketball to the offensive player, it ensures that the defender is challenging themselves by starting up close to the offensive player instead of standing back playing lazy defense. To start the drill, the defender hands the basketball to the offensive player.
