4 vs 3 Box

We line up 4 offensive players in a square just slightly outside the lane and place 3 defensive players in the lane. The 4 offensive players may not drive but may shoot at any time. The 3 defensive players must defend the player with the ball (but not block the shot) as well as two of the other offensive players. They must deny hard if they are one pass away and play on the help line if two passes away. All defenders must rotate (and communicate) to cover again after each pass (they can’t steal passes) to be in position to defend and to rebound. When a shot is taken all three defenders must box out(one offensive player is knowingly unaccounted for), rebound, outlet to one of his partners and attack a single defender at the opposite end of the court transitioning a rebound into a fast break. The three offensive players then move to defense with the 4th player drifting back to play defense at the opposite end while the four former offensive players jump in to man the box formation.

4-lines

I use (4) lines as a warm-up drill and also use it as a way to teach players the pick and roll, shooting off the dribble while coming the pick – and just putting different priorities on the drill as I see fit. The drill is simple and if you picture the lines starting in between half court and the three point line and having the first line start from left going to right evenly spaced across the width of the three point line. First line = offense, Second line = defense, third line = picker, 4th line = passer. Passer slaps ball – first line (offense) makes a V-cut to get open, the defender plays light defense, the picker picks the defense and then the offense comes off the pick. Here is where you put in the options…. shoot, drive, pick and roll. Easy drill – gets everyone involved. The players rotate to the right and to the next line after they complete the drill.

Duke’s Defensive Privilege

As we all know, after the first few weeks of practice the intensity level can really drop, especially on defense. I learned this drill from a former Duke assistant while I was on his Ivy League staff. The key to it all is to award points for defensive play, not made baskets on offense. The offense has to score a bucket to win the ‘privilege’ to play defense.

Valley of Terror

This is a 3 on 3 drill that works on boxing out properly on defense and good positioning for offensive rebounds. It also helps prepare the players for a physical inside game.
