This pass is often confused with the football throw in where the ball is taken behind the head.
The basketball pass is taken directly above the head, when the player goes to make the pass, they will step in the direction of the target, pull their arms down and slick their wrists.
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.
