Basketball Systems, Skills & Drills
 

Transition
3 on 2, 2 on 1


sketch
1
1, 2, and 3 attack 4 and 5. On a stop or score, 4 and 5 attack against 2 who last touched the ball, 1 and 3 stay as defenders, play to a stop or score coming back, three new attackers come on.

Option - 3-man weave to halfcourt.

Steve Nash - his favourite drill, the shooter defends.
 
Tom Izzo - 1 has only three dribbles to get from the baseline to halfcourt, he has to push the ball out in front, low, then pass it to a wing and get to the ballside arc, sit and show.

Hoop Tactics - To start play, 1 outlets to 2 and goes opposite, 2 hits 3 breaking into the middle. Use two balls, the second ball starts upcourt when the first ball crosses midcourt on the way back. The two remaining players must come up to touch the centreline.

Morgan Wootten - The two defenders start at midcourt. The lowest-numbered attacker who did not shoot defends the two on one, allowing the shooter to concentrate on the shot. Remaining players are in two outlet lines, after the two on one the defender outlets and fills a lane to stay on attack (need only 7 players minimum).

Dick Bennett - three (new) attackers start at halfcourt each time.

Fabian McKenzie - attackers get only one shot on the 3-on-2.

Bill Pangos - after the 3-on-2, middle player 1 defends coming back, the two new defenders run to centre court and shuffle back.

Jamie Dixon - only two passes allowed on the 3 on 2, stay as wide as possible, the shooter defends and runs back to the basket, no layup.

Barbara Stevens (WCBA offensive drills) - 1 and 3 go to centre court to become the new tandem defenders. Only one shot on the 2-on-1, 2, 4 and 5 all contest a rebound, whoever gets the ball passes to one of two outlet lines and fills a lane.

Joan Bonvicini (WCBA drills) - 1 and 3 wait for the next attack at the halfcourt sidelines then must come into the centre circle.

Other variations - no dribbling, or no dribbling in the front court, on the 2-on-1.

Teams

Minimum 10 players. Two teams alternate attacking 3-on-2 and defending 2-on-1. Team O attacks team X in a 3-on-2, play to a stop or score. X1 and X2 attack shooter O3 coming back, O1 and O2 stay to defend the next 3-on-2 attack by team X. Keep score.
