Basketball drill: back by

Requirements:
players must be able to run a lay up from a bounce pass

Goal: learn
how to punish the overplaying of the forward by an aggressive defense

Organization:

• guard dribbles up from behind the centre circle
• at the same moment the centre 4 comes to the elbow
• and player 3 sprints to the pawn
• 1 passes to 4 with a bounce pass
• 3 sprints to the basket with a sharp change of direction and speed
• and receives the bounce pass from 4

Rotation:

• 4 grabs the rebound
• and takes the ball on the back line
• 3 goes to defend the inbound pass
• when 9 receives the ball, 7 takes position at the sideline for the next inbound pass
• 4 and 5 do not rotate but take turns.
• 1 joins the line behind the pawn
• 9 passes the ball to 8 and joins the row behind it

Variation:

• 1 pretends he is going to put a screen away on the weak side, but cuts to 4 for a hand off
• takes the shot
• OR plays pick and roll with 4

Teaching Points:

• Sprint to the pawn: when passing, you as the attacker must take the defender well outside the three-point line to make enough space for the backdoor.
• 1 has to feint immediately after the pass to be in time for the hand off.
