Inbounding from Basketball Immersion


Ask a player about inbounding. What are our goals and how can we best achieve them? I'm always surprised by the answers...or lack thereof. 

1) Get the ball inbounds safely. 
2) Create quality scoring opportunities. 
3) Play begins when the official hands you the ball. 
4) Misdirect the defense (use eyes, hands). 
5) Find a dependable inbounder (finding a few players to trust is easier than finding many). 

Remember the Feynman Method: 

NECS
Name it (topic).
Explain it.
Confused by it?
Simplify it. 

Basketball Immersion on Inbounding shares some tips. Here are a couple I liked:

-Know your progressions. (Where is the opportunity designed?)
-Avoid passing over the on-ball defender. (Avoid the obvious pitfall.)
-Be aware of time. (Time passes more quickly on the road...)



A UCONN BOB.
