This drill can be done in teams or a group of 3, depending on if you’re a coach or a player. Anyway the drill consists of one player in the corner and a player on the wing. Then a defender will have the ball and pass it out to either player, this player can either shoot or pass immediately to his offensive counterpart. This simple drill teaches reading a close out which is one of the most important skills in basketball and will improve your teams decision making. You can also evolve this into a drill where players can actually attack this close out off of a drive either off the defenders initial pass or pass from one offensive player to another. Also a great drill to improve your/ your players actual ability to close out and defend off of close outs, make sure close outs go to the ball first so it’s more game like.
