Double Dribble: foul; if a player stops dribbling and then starts again. A dribble comes to an end when a player: Touches the ball with both hands; Permits the ball to come to rest while he is still in control of it; Tries for a shot; Throws a pass; Touches the ball more than once before it touches the floor; Loses control of the ball; or Allows the ball to become dead. A player cannot dribble the ball again until after another player has touched the ball.
Four players standing still make every ball handler's job harder. Teach V-cuts, L-cuts and back cuts so your team gets open and punishes defenders who overplay.
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.
