I saw this drill last week while watching the 2013 NBA Real Training Camp. The drill in frame 1 is how the Brooklyn Nets were shown performing this drill. The variation in Frame 2 came from the LA Clippers. I typically have my players circle the wagons during any live 5-on-5 action that starts in the half-court, but this drill is a great simulation to work on closing out at various angles during scramble situations.
-
Players 1-2 and 3-4 start in a stance. On the whistle or verbal command they slide, touch hands and closeout to a coach or manager (or teammate) with a ball. The coach with ball must jba step in different directions quickly, mixing in shot fakes, to make the defense adjust.
Players 1-2 move off the court and 3-4 move up to the elbows as 2 more defenders step on.
