Players facing each other on the sideline.
Offence (blue) will go 5 times taking 2 steps in a direction. The defensive players (red) must use the correct footwork to turn and box the player out.
This drill will really be working on players' form and technique.
Defensive player must make contact with the offensive player before turning to box out.
Contact is made with the forearm of the defensive player.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
