Basketball: Phantom pick and roll drill

As someone who is new to coaching this site was just what I needed,...

Phil

DESCRIPTION

Players stand in three lines, the players nearest the half-way line start with the ball in hand.

The blue players starts the drill by making the pass to the white players, and then sets the screen for the red player.

The red player then cuts off the top of the screen towards the ball. Meanwhile the blue player will reverse pivot and roll towards the basket.

The White players can choose to pass to either the red or blue player to have the shot.

COACHING POINTS

Everyone should rotate one spot clockwise.

Sprint to go set the screen.

The screener's back should be facing the direction that the player receiving the screen wants to cut towards.

Make sure players are set on the screens (not moving).
