*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*
Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters
Set up:
Half court, two balls, 5+ players
1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line.
Description:
Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group.
Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball.
Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V.
Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.
Variations:
To add in some competition, have two groups compete against each other e.g. first team to 4 goals.
Add in defence (bibbed): 1 defender in the circle, 1 defender out of the circle. This creates a 4 on 2 situation. Defenders shouldn’t get any ball if the attackers are placing the ball in the right space.
Attackers are looking to pass into space especially into the circle to the shooter.

No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
Train your defenders to win clean turnovers, not just disrupt. The difference between good defenders and great ones is taking the ball, not just touching it.
