DHO bounce off finishing drill
Game Scenario
Player will set defender up with quick cut inside, and then sprint to the hand off.
Post will dribble to the wing to initiate the hand off.
When the defender x5 hedges high on the hand off to cover the drive, ball handler must punch their inside foot towards the hedge and bounce away from the coverage, allowing room to read and react.
Player will then re-attack once the hedge drops and before their defender x2 can recover back into the play, getting to the rim for a finish.
Breakdown Drill
