@chriman_ It’s so strange to me that they still use on air/cone drills in combines. Coaches in college and the NBA almost never use drills like that in their practices.

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Hard hedging ball screen defenses are going to be vulnerable to this “rocket” action

Advance the ball quickly and look down… It’s a long recovery

Elevator screens are perfect for misdirections, often occupying 3 help defenders

Punish The Zone With This Zone Offense Set

Coach Mike Hilmer goes over “Iowa” from The Relentless Pressure System. @HilmerMike

This offense exploits the zone, and gets the defense to shift, allowing an open shot on the backside.

This set also sets your offense up for great rebounding opportunities as well.

Long video but worth the watch for serious coaches

Watch the attention to detail, communication, and energy they are giving at the highest level

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

A horns or stack alignment is going to present this option to explore for a cheap lay-up on an overplay

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

A back screen to a back screen...

With everyone lifted above the free throw line

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

5-out offense

The weave relaxes the defense to set up the flare for your shooter

[Dustin Aubert @dustinaubert]

Must Add Action

UConn Zone: Double Pin

Simple zone Action w/ a ton of advantages to pull.

[Reid Ouse @reidouse]

The best time to attack is off of a closeout.

If you read an out of control closeout you should get split on the catch to eliminate a step post-catch.

If you split too early the defense can adjust.

Split right as the ball drops the 2nd time to work on your timing.

[Reid Ouse @reidouse]

Competitive Shooting❗️

Defense picks the side and offense goes opposite.

No shot fakes allowed.

Make it - Take it!

[Justin Sheppard @Justinsheppard0]

@BreakthruBball Yes. Thank you!

The Zoom Action has become very popular in the NBA and college levels, but it's easy to teach and use at even the Youth level.

Set up advantage for the ball-handler (i.e., defender on hip). When defender is beat, help and rotate.

Drill Library | 'Closeout Shooting'

Something to add to practice that combines closeout technique with finishing and shooting. Make sure to split the team in half and use multiple hoops. #CoachesCorner
