Defending
Nash wave drill

Steve Nash DVD

Coach spins a pass, defenders close out with arms up, get in defensive stance. Coach then fakes to drive left and right, defenders must jump to change the direction of their stance [hip turn].

Coach dribbles left and right, defenders slide.

Coach shoots in the air back to himself, defenders yell "shot", pivot and box out.

(Variation - coach holds the ball overhead with two hands, players yell "dead!" and smother.)

David Faucher rebounding - when coach shoots, players put up a hand to contest the shot, turn, stay low, pretend to box out.
 
Option - one player actually defends the coach.
