"I have a dream." Well, it's more like a fantasy. I run a drill called "Stanford", designed to inform players about possibilities of playing '3 man game'. Our job is teaching players to "see the game" allowing them to create quality scoring chances.
"Stanford" runs out of a mundane top, high post, and wing alignment. For illustration, I haven't included defense; the drill is better with defense. Small-sided play in limited space (analagous to futsal in soccer) teaches options and permits more touches per segment.
Like most teams, our team is "right handed" (at the point guard position), although I have three southpaws among the 2s and 3s, which is actually great because they can go DOWNHILL off right-sided screens with their dominant hand.
Here are 6 quick teaching slides for players:
Left, point guard movement - bury, thru, option cuts
Right - high ball screen
Right, scissors action (great to get 3 a mid-range shot) or straight cuts into triangle offense actions
Left - side ball screen actions
Right - DHO/"dribble at" concepts
This isn't designed to be comprehensive, rather to stimulate players to grasp how they can play team basketball to get better scoring chances.
