How do you get your players in the habit of getting North - South with the ball... rather than East - West?
After all, the most direct route from the ball to the basket is a straight line, right?
Here's a drill that Coach Ryan Schultz loves to use to get his ball handlers in the habit of attacking the rim moving North - South
He calls it "Attack & Finish."
Coach Schultz led his teams to 2 Iowa State Championships, and 6 state appearances in 7 years... running a Hybrid Attack Offense that's main objective was getting the ball to the rim ASAP!
And Attack & Finish has been one of his go-to drills because it's so effective at conditioning his ball handlers to get North - South quickly so they can attack the basket more effectively.
Below is an excerpt from Coach Schultz's Hybrid Attack Offense...
Here are the basics of the Attack & Finish Drill:
-Break your team down in teams of 2 or 3.
-You'll play mini games of 3 v 2, 2 v 2, or 3 v 3, whichever you prefer.
-Offense gets 2 points for scoring in the paint... and 1 point for perimeter shots (since the goal is to get to the rim).
-Offense does not get a point if the ball handler doesn't attack the rim moving North - South... even if they hit the basket.
-Ball handler should attack with the mentality of getting to the rim and scoring.
-Post player is expected to move to the opposite side of the penetration and either "get big" and clean-up a missed lay-up... or "help uphill" and catch a lob pass.
-If you're playing 3 v 2 or 3 v 3... then the backside wing must move to find open windows for a kick out.
(You can play 2 v 2, or 3 v 3)
On top of teaching your players to quickly get North - South with the ball...
The beauty of this drill is...
-It's great for any age group... because even young players can benefit from getting in the habit of not wasting time dribbling East - West.
-Also makes your defense better... because there are FEW defenders. There is nowhere to hide. You have to defend the ball or you lose!
-Works with any style of offense... because it helps instill habits that are universally applicable regardless of what type of offense you run.
-It teaches post players to relocate opposite the penetration... so they get in the habit of maintaining space.
-It trains the wing to find shooting windows... so they can be better equipped to get open for a kick-out off penetration (but remember, when playing 3 v 2 like in the video below... the kickout only counts for one point).
So, let's listen in on how Coach Schultz runs Attack & Finish with his players:
