Drill:
My favorite drill growing up - 3 on 2 fast break
This full court 3-on-3 chase drill replaced and superseded it by adding the chase defender and improving conditioning. Offense goes to defense and a new offense comes on.
Concepts: DECEPTION
1. Deception (faking) has a role at both ends of the court. Individual fakes (e.g. jab, shot) encourage defensive reactions and over-reactions to exploit. Shot fakes can sometimes lead to traveling calls. Some opine that if the shooter raises the ball higher, more traveling calls ensue. We teach "slow and low" with a shot fake "a shot not taken."
Kelly Olynyk has an elite shot fake.
2. Learn across domains. Design different actions from the same set and the same actions from different sets.
The Joe Gibbs Redskins had thirteen core plays, 10 runs and 3 passes, with variations. Simplifying but adding nuances changed the Belichick 'core' defense, a 3-4, Cover 2 alignment. For example, he might elect to drop an outside linebacker and rush an interior linebacker, depending on matchups in passing situations.
Box looking for backdoor or wing isolation.
Box stagger, Iverson-like look.
Box PnR
3. Defensive deception: Knight's Hoosiers sometimes lined up in a zone alignment but played man-to-man out of that look. We might align in "five" (2-3 defense, five looks like a die) and be playing man-to-man on two perimeter shooters.
Play: DHO Back cut
Dribble handoff with back cut action on the help side.
Lagniappe: Get separation by passively moving defenders where they don't want to be.

1. "The CONNECTEDNESS (tight shell) is critical to any PnR coverage."
2. Where am I going?
