Basketball: Friday 1-3-1 - Drill, Concepts, Play (Episode 2)

The first "1-3-1" put some fans in the seats. Here's Episode 2.



"Old timers" know Dean Smith's Four Corners. In the video, Roy Williams shows some love to the Tarheel legend. Pat Summitt had another version. Hearing players were out late, she brought them in early and stationed trash cans at each corner of the court. They ran until they puked in the barrels. Not recommended. 

One Drill: Arik Shivek's "pass and cut." Movement kills defenses



Even better, run it at both ends. 

Three Concepts.

- "Put 'em in a glass box." Trap without fouling. Have players imagine ENCLOSING the ballhandler in a box. 

- "Shot ready." Be locked and loaded. Many players are not ready to shoot on the catch, too upright and too casual. 




- "Teaching counters starts with footwork." - Don Kelbick

Work on your footwork every day. 

One Play. "Combine ball side and helpside actions."



Lagniappe: "Basketball is a game of separation." Gibson Pyper shows how in the multiple screen game.
