Get down drill

Artificially make your defenders late, practice quickness of recovery.

Instructions

Five on five, players play w/o attempting to score until coach blows the whistle.
At the whistle, off the ball defenders touch the floor with their chest and get up to recover.
Offensive players must have found a shot in the meantime.

Offense pays without dribbles.

Emphasize on defending with the legs, as foot speed is the key when coming up late to guard your man.

Practice quickness of recovery.
