Split your players into groups of three, with one ball per group.
Player 2's job is to hold their space (screening) behind the defender (player X), leading slightly with one shoulder.
When the feeder lifts the ball over player X player 2 must move to receive the pass and then hold/ protect the ball.
Player 2 must hold their move until the ball is over head.
Player 2 should stand sideways on as it is much harder to run backwards than it is to turn from a sideways stance and run forward.

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.
