The drill introduces the rooftop concept and 1 on 1 on the ball defense. It can and should be run on both sides of the floor with larger groups, but is depicted only on one side of the floor in this diagram. On-the-ball defenders keep heels on the rooftop and influence ball handler to sideline checkpoint. Establish the proper stance angle, drag hand and lead hand. When offensive player reaches the sideline checkpoint they reverse pivot and heads back up the rooftop. The goal as the ball heads back up the rooftop is to prevent the ball handler from busting through the rooftop. See More

The Clippers used this ATO play in Game 5 against the Spurs, down 3 with 30 seconds left in the game. Chris Paul receives an L ballscreen from the Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, and the play is set up by Paul using the screen from Jordan. Jordan rolls hard off of the screen, and the spread alignment forces x4, Duncan, to bump the roll from Jordan and avoid the lob. Paul quickly throws back to Griffin, who swings and follows for a Side P/R with Jamal Crawford. There is no way Duncan can Show against the ballscreen after having to bump Jordan in the paint, and this forces a difficult rotation for the Spurs to contain the roll by Griffin. See More

Milwaukee ran this variation of Pistol action against Chicago in Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs. This is the first time I have seen this variation of Pistol action, but with shooters like O.J. Mayo at the 2 and Ersan Ilyasova at the 4, there are numerous possibilities for counters available out of this set. See More

3 on 3 on Top (Cut & Fill) The objective of this drill is to introduce the pressure man defensive fundamentals of jumping to the pass, denying centering passes, moving to help and stance integrity. It is a basic drill that can be used to teach defending several actions, begin with cut and fill opposite action by the three offensive players. Emphasis #1 - JUMP TO THE PASS and defend the basket cut when ball goes from point to wing Emphasis #2 - On the flight of the pass from point to wing, the weakside wing defender gets to help position on the lane line Emphasis #3 - Help defenders...DO NOT allow the cutter to cross your face and catch at the nail Emphasis #4 - Deny and force your man to catch going away from the basket with their back to the rim. Place special emphasis on denying the wing-to-point centering pass. If a wing-to-point centering pass is knocked away with the outside had, reward the defense by rotating them out of the drill immediately. See More

Chris Paul has really hurt the San Antonio Spurs in this years playoffs running this PNR Set. Doc Rivers called it "45" from the sideline (hand motion 4-5 blinking) and this set has allowed Chris Paul to attack off the PNR very well. Both bigs start at the elbows, and then flash near half court at the same time setting a ballscreen on each side for Chris Paul to attack off of. They have options where a big turns, but the main reason this set works is due to the fact that San Antonio likes to pressure high. It forces the bigs to make a decision and does not allow a guard to go under the ballscreen. See More
