Basketball - Finishing Off Two Feet

Emphasize edges. Edges include spacing, player and ball movement, and finishing. 

Finishing off two feet helps mitigate contact, improve balance, and creates three-point plays. I didn't teach this enough. 


Villanova and Jay Wright are a great place to continue.

What else could we do? 

Box drills with constraints. 
  • Back to the basket, pivot and attack. 
  • Require a finish off two feet. 
  • Start without defense, then add defense. 
Another area to work is a "stampede catch" into a basket attack, combining both stampede action and two foot finishing. 

Lagniappe. Another way to initiate "America's Play" 

Lagniappe 2. Balance openness and critical thinking to learn.
