Blue player 2 starts with the ball and the other two players set up a few meters away, with the defender marking B1.
When everyone is ready:
B1 should make a forward run and then perform an outside roll, spinning 360 degrees before then running into space and receive the pass.
Repeat 5 times and then players rotate roles in a clockwise direction.
Players should be running at a high intensity and the focus should be on the change of direction and pace from B1.
Ensure players are balanced as they roll and are ready to receive the ball (hands and head up).
The initial run forward should be convincing in order to 'sell' the move and send the defender the wrong way.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
