2 on 2 Drill with Coach from FastModel

"Feed a man a fish and he eats today; teach a man to fish and he eats every day." 

Players need to learn basketball 'actions'. For example: 

Pass and basket cut.
Pass and screen away.
Pass and screen the ball. 
Pass and move to an open spot.

The salient phrases include:

"Movement kills defenses" and "make yourself hard to guard." 

FastModel shares a 2 on 2 drill with Coach. Done properly, it 'forces' cutting and screening. One very important phrase to remember is "the screener is the second cutter...and the second cutter is almost always open." Screening isn't "scut work", it's OPPORTUNITY. But the recipient has great responsibility...reading the screen, setting up her cut, and cutting with purpose. 

Remember, you play the lion's share of the game without the ball. Successful players figure that out while developing their ball skills, too.
