Phase teaching of the dribble hand off.
This is an example of how one coach teaches the Dribble Hand Off concept.
This might not be the best way for you or your program to have this skill taught, but I do think it is important to break down the skill and teach your players to make decisions out of it if you are going to use it as a part of your offense.
You might want players running the dribble at instead of a coach so that they can work on their skills as well.
