Coach (A) points in the direction that the player BLUE is to dribble
BLUE must dribble at least as wide as the cone in that direction before performing a cross over and cutting back towards opposite cone (shaking the defender)
Upon reaching the opposite cone BLUE cuts hard to the basket and must dribble inside the key (inside the low cones)
To shake a defender the player with the ball MUST move far enough with the ball to force the defender to move his feet.
Once defender is moving cut hard in opposite direction to gain an advantage in order to cut into the key.
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.
