Game will be played full court and will focus on coming back from a 3 point difference. Blue team starts with the ball and is down by 3 (100-103 red teams way). They will focus on trying to make a comeback and hold the lead with 1 minute left. The red team will focus on keeping their lead and defending against the blue.
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.
