This drill will need 1 person with a ball and a offensive and defensive player who will be set up between the cones.
The offensive player will run from cone to cone. The defence must keep a hand between the ball and the offensive player to stop a pass going through.
When doing a denial the defensive player must look in line with their shoulder so they can see the ball and the person they are defending.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
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.
