Both players will run to the basket, tap the backboard 5 times, slide to the sideline, run backwards to the 3/4 court cone, slide to the middle, jog back to the line.
1. Variation Add Basketball. Hold out on slide.
Defensive slides, keep low, no cross over, no foot to foot contact.
Focus on intensity.
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.
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.
