Practice doing virtual variations of different moves, for example do a spin back at the top of the three point line in a guard position, forward pivot to a triple thread, head and shoulder fake to the middle, dibble drive to the baseline, do a spin fake and drive on the baseline to shoot a reverse layup.
You will need to simulate different type game situations.
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.
The closeout is the most repeated defensive action in modern basketball. With fouls per game climbing in the 2025-26 season, coaches must teach defenders to contest the three without surrendering the drive or putting shooters on the line.
