Contest Shooting: post relocations

This is a three-player drill. One offensive player starts on the wing with the ball. A second offensive player is in the post. A defender begins with both feet inside the paint. How it Works: The wing player passes the ball into the post and immediately relocates as quickly as possible to the strong-side corner. Once the post entry pass is made, the defender inside the paint sprints out to close out on the corner shooter. The corner player reacts to the closeout based on the constraints set by the coach. The rep can end with a catch-and-shoot three, or be played live one-on-one from the closeout. Focus Points: Post entry passing and immediate relocation Creating space by moving after the pass Corner closeout technique and recovery Shot readiness under pressure Reading the closeout and making quick decisions
