DRILL 28 - "Read and React"

Coach F. 1930 views 3 steps 10/06/2023

Player with the ball drives around the two passive defensive players in the paint. They start set parallel to the baseline and when the offensive player approaches they set one foot slightly in front of the other. The goal of the offensive player is to attack the side where the defense’s leg is in front. After the offensive player finishes, the top defender gets open for the outlet pass, and the offensive player and the second defender stay in the paint as defensive players.
