DHO Shooting: partner reaction dho shots

Three players start in a line. – Two players start elbow-extended on opposite sides. – One player stands in the middle, between the two elbows, ready to react. A coach or passer initiates the drill by throwing the ball to either elbow. How it Works: The passer throws the ball to one of the outside players. As soon as the catch is made, the middle player cuts to that side for a live dribble handoff (DHO). The middle player and the ball receiver now play 2-on-1 against the opposite elbow player, who becomes the defender. The offense plays live out of the handoff, working on: – Reading the trail defender – Shooting off the DHO – Re-screen shots if the defense goes under – Executing a clean, well-timed handoff The drill continues until a shot or stop Focus Points: – Middle player: quick reaction to the pass and sharp angle into the DHO – Ball receiver: strong handoff, create separation for the teammate – Defender: trail defense, fight over/under the handoff, contest without fouling
