THIS IS A DELAYED TRANSITION PLAY......
DIAGRAM 1: Our team usually likes to throw ahead and run a quick-hitting option out of our secondary break offense. In this initial set, 1 has cleared the ball to a designated area, while keeping the dribble alive.
DIAGRAM 2: 4 steps over and sets an on-the-ball screen at the top of the key. 1 dribbles around the screen and looks for an opening to drive all the way to the basket as a first scoring option. As this is happening, 3 breaks down and sets a cross-screen for 5 who rolls to the opposite low block.
DIAGRAM 3: 1 spaces the floor and looks to hit 5 in the low post. 4 breaks down hard and sets a downscreen for 3, who curls around the screen and pops to the top of the key. (Notice that the first two screens in the series were “big-to-little" screens.)
DIAGRAM 4: If the entry pass to 5 wasn’t available, 1 then passes to 3 at the top of the key for a jump shot. 4 rolls to the low block opposite 5.
DIAGRAM 5: If 3 didn’t have a good look for the jumper, he or she swings the ball over to 2 on the wing.
The beauty of this play is that, afterward, we can smoothly flow into our high-low motion offense, with 5 flashing to the top and 3 making a basket cut and cutting to the weak-side corner.
1 dribbled 3 through to set a backscreen for 5. 4 then pinned down for 3. 1 fed 5 in the post for an iso and 1 baseline cut to avoid any dig or double-down.
Frame 1
#1 dribbles to the wing on the same side as #'s 2 and 5. #2 will cut from the corner to the low post on his side and post up for a possible post feed.
Frame 2
If #2 does not get the ball after posting up for a count of two, #2 will come up halfway to set a back screen for #5 so that he can post up. #1 can pass to #5 for a possible post feed or to #2 at the top of the key.
Frame 3
When the ball is swung to #2, #5 will set a sigle screen and #'s 3 and 4 will set a double screen. The cutter will be #1 who comes off of the single-double screen and catches the ball at the wing.
Frame 4
After #1 clears the double set by #'s 3 and 4, #4 comes off of the down screen set by #5 and curls to the wing opposite #1.
2 curls around 5 at the wing, while 3 sets a cross screen for 4
Instead of entering the ball to the post, 1 hits 3 off a double screen on the wing.
3 zippers off a screen from 4 and receives a pass from 1. 1 cuts through to the opposite corner. At the same time 5 pins down on 2 and 3 passes to 2. 4 immediately flares 3 for a catch & shoot 3pter.
1 passes to 2 and cuts over top 4 to the corner. 4 cross-screens for 5 who loops to the rim. 4 pops out and 2 passes to 4. 4 looks to feed 5 hi-low in the paint.
It is very important that your players see the floor as there will be three different options happening at once. Your best shooter should start with the ball at the top of the key. If you have post players who can shoot well from the outside, this play will use them as a decoy to open up the key on the pick and roll.
2 steps out and recieves pass from 1.
1 splits stagger screen from 3 and 4. 1 should look for the pass after recieving the screen
After setting screen, 4 sets back pick for 3 and cuts to 2 for pick and roll. 3 should look for a fade pass here.

40-minute workout (Shoot free throws in between drills for the total of 40 minutes)
Player starts in corner facing half court with a ball, passes the ball to the elbow to a coach, sprints wide/sideline and touches half court. Player turns and sprints wide sideline to coach’s box and angles toward the block receiving a return pass from the coach. He executes the following and can be repeated in the opposite corner.
Triangle Shooting is a drill that gets players a lot of shots in a short period of time as well as working on their conditioning. We teach al of our guys to use a “one, two step” (Left/Right) on every shot. This consistency in their footwork ultimately leads to more consistent results. The repetition of Triangle Shooting allows players to really focus on improving their footwork.
50 Series is a quick drill that really works on a player’s ability to control the basketball. The use of a heavy ball (If available) during the first set makes the regular ball seem much lighter during the second set. This contrast allows plays players to pound the ball quicker, faster, and harder, which ultimately results in improved ball control.
Players begin in the corner at the full court level.
They execute the following movements and repeat these movements from the opposite corner, then returning.
A dummy defender is at the 25 ft. marker from each basket.
Begin with three dribbles in place, then a hard stutter at the coach’s box, dribbling with the hand closest to the sideline.
Vegas Close Outs is a great drill to simulate the perfect close out technique. The player starts with his head under the rim. A coach/manager will be positioned on the wing just behind the 3 pt line. The play tosses the ball out to the coach to begin the drill. All the teaching points should be explained prior to the first close out. You can place coaches at various positions around the 3 pt line, which will allow multiple reps to take place at the same time.
This play is run against man-to-man defenses.
It features a staggered double screen for a shooter, then finishes with a staggered triple screen for a second shooter.
The play starts in a 1-4 high set.
#1 hits #5 at the elbow and then uses a back screen from #4.
#2 cuts across to the opposite block.
#3 jabs to get open.
#5 hits #3 as #2 cuts to the low post or short corner--whichever spot he is more effective from.
#3 can feed #2 or can hit #1 who is coming off the staggered double from #4 and #5.
To complete the play, #2, #4, and #5 set a staggered triple screen for #3.
Toughness and execution are the features of this three-point close out drill. The goal is for the offensive player to get an open three point shot at the top of the key. The defender's mission is to take the shot away. If he is successful they play 1 on 1 until a foul, basket, or defensive stop occurs.
Drill starts in these positions. 1 has to start in jump circle in the backcourt. On "Go" X1 sprints to touch baseline and out to close out on ball.
Goal for 1 is to drive the ball just above top of key and shoot uncontested three point jump shot. X1 goal is to closeout and take away the three.
Rule: If shooter is open he has to shoot the three.
If X1 takes three point shot away from 1 they play 1 on 1 from top of key.
If X1 gets stop he becomes offensive player. If not 1 will again have the ball with X1 as defender.
This can be an individual drill, playing to a certain score or a team competition.
You can use this as an individual or team drill. It fosters toughness, shot selection and three-point accuracy, decision making, closing out, defending and rebounding with two hands. It can add healthy peer pressure to your practices.
Players partner up and start on sideline.
1 on 1. Offense and defense each have two basketballs.
The boundaries are marked by cones.
If the offense gets their shoulders past the defense they receive a point.
If the defense forces the offense to change directions, lose the basketball or go out of bounds they receive a point.
Play to seven, then change offense to defense.
Slot Euro Pass: 1 minute on the clock. Player will attack off the dribble from the slot, pivot and pass to coach on opposite slot.
If Player delivers pass on target to coach, he will be rewarded with a shot on the weakside wing.
If the pass is not on target, coach will drop pass and let it roll away.
Hitting the shooter in his or her "shooting pocket" makes a huge difference in the shot going in. Even in the NBA when players have to reach up, down, or sideways to catch the ball, it throws off shot preparation.
You can run this drill from any area on the floor where your offense has penetration opportunities for passes to where your drive and space spots are.
Players will start on the baseline. One on offense with a basketball and the other on defense.
Player one must dribble around a chair which is outside the 3pt arc, player 2 must sprint around a corresponding chair at the same distance from baseline.
Then it’s live 1 on 1. You only get one shot. Offense stays if they score.
Player 1 starts under the rim. He must find a way to get open, if he does the coach will deliver a pass.
It's then 1 on 1 with a limit of three dribbles and one shot. Offense stays if they score. If Player 1 fails to get open within a time limit of five seconds, then his possession is over.
