Tad Boyle Colorado 3 on 4 Contest Drill
This first video is with Tad Boyle, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Colorado.
Use the drill to improve communication, ball pressure, active hands for deflections, and closing out at full speed. The offense cannot dribble. The purpose is to get 3 stops in a row. Players get 3 chances to get 3 stops in a row or they run.
You can make adjustments to the rules and requirements of the drill that fit your team.
