This is one of my favorite progressions for working rhythmic ball handling and shooting. It can accomodate multiple shooters (1-6) and gets them a lot of shots while moving to different spots. Emphasis is on quick handles and quick shot off the bounce with active feet and good vision. See More

Each year, preseason and sometimes during the season, we test our players for assessment purposes. The Decathlon is a good indicator of player strengths and weaknesses. The test consists of ten shooting skills performed for one minute each, one skill right after the other. We have acquired over 25 years of data using this test. As a result, we have a pretty good idea of a player's offensive skill set when it's all said and done. We like to factor these numbers into our selection process. To date, in my 25+ years of coaching, not quite 20 players have scored 200 baskets or higher. The highest is 218. The first 3 minutes set the tone. A fundamentally sound player can score close to 100 or more baskets right out of the gates. We consider the following grade levels and scores very good: Freshmen 160 or more Sophomores 170 or more Juniors 180 or more Seniors 190 or more Skill Level Scale: 000-100 | Poor! 100-115 | Very Low Skill Level 115-130 | Low Skill Level 130-145 | Average Skill Level 145-160 | Above Average Skill Level 160-175 | High Skill Level 175-190 | Very High Skill Level 190-205 | Outstanding!

Partner up. Offensive player will rip or sweep the basketball with the defender fouling and reaching in until the coach calls the players name. The player must be able to pass to the coach quickly and on target under pressure. After a successful pass to Coach, offense and defense will switch positions. Can run at both ends. Quick drill. Teaches how long players can have possession without a 5 second count if they are calm under pressure. Coach counts to 4 then players dribble as coach counts to 4 then players jump stop as coach counts to 4. See More

4 Lines - 2 Balls 4 Lines of Players 2 Basketballs Total 1 in each line Each set of partners go down and back Chest Passes Day 1 Bounce Passes Day 2 Weak Hand Passes Day 3 Repeat 4 Lines - 4 Balls 4 lines of players 4 basketballs total 2 in each line with each set of partners Partners go down and back Outside line - chest passes Inside line - bounce passes 3 Lines - 2 Balls 3 lines of players on the baseline Basketballs in the outside lines Outside lines dribble with outside hand Chest pass from outside line to middle line and middle line chest passes back to middle line Laker Drill Ball starts in the middle, and first pass is to right side. On pass, the left side sprints hard to fill a lane. First pass line becomes rebounder out of the net, middle line becomes layup shooter on return, layup shooter becomes first pass on the return. No drops, ball never touches floor. Perfect Layups Lines 1 and 3 start behind the cone; one player starts in Line 2 with a basketball. Line 1 sprints for a cut above the block as Line 3 is sprinting to rebound out of the net. Line 2 is out of bounds and bounces passes to Line 1 for the clean lay-up. Line 3 replaces 2, 2 replaces 1, 1 replaces 3. Figure 8 (3 Man Weave) Ball starts in the middle; pass to either outside line, and fill behind the player the ball is passed to as the ball is moved downcourt. All chest passes. Last pass is a bounce pass for a layup. 110 in 3 110 makes in 3 minutes. Every made shot is one point. Playyers find their range; centers shoot 15' and others shoot three point shots. 3 man weave to start; line 1 is the layup shooter down and back. Only two passes into layup for line 1 and a dribble is allowed to finish. 110 in 3 (continued) Line 1 shoots layup as 2 and 3 spot up for passes from line 4 and line 5. Replace the passer with the shooter; so line 3 shot from line 4's pass, so shooter 3 becomes passer in 4 line. Simple. As soon as line 4 and 5 pass they fill in for the 3 man weave returning to the other end. Coaches count each end and total after 3 mins. 85 in 2 minutes Each layup is worth one point. Player in line 1 passes to coach who can handoff or pass ahead for player to run into and make layup on other end. Line 2 passes to coach and has same rules. See More

Down four to the #2 ranked Kansas Jayhawks on the road in the Phog with just over four minutes left, Oklahoma State head coach Travis Ford called a play for his 5'11" (and that is generous) freshman point guard that was previously 0-for-6 from deep to get a three-point look. Naturally. The Cowboys put the Freshman point guard in a number of screen situations, with the end result being a three-pointer that Forte nailed to bring the Cowboys within one. It was this shot by Forte that sprung OSU's run down the stretch, resulting in one of the rarest things in college sports: A Jayhawks loss in Phog Allen Fieldhouse. And it was all thanks to some great play design, patience and execution by the Cowboys in a very tough environment. See More

After beating the initial defender 1 will hesitate at the free throw line to assess the help defenders reactions. From there 1 will either attack the basket, shoot a runner in the lane or make a pull up jump shot. Drill. Attack cone with a change of direction and get to the free throw line with explosiveness. Hesitate and make 15 layups, runners and jump shots. Do on both sides of the court. See More
