Creating with Dribble Hand Offs

By Brian Williams on June 12, 2017

Creating with Dribble Hand Offs

This one on one drill came from the FastModel Sports Basketball Plays and Drills Library.

The drill was contributed by Randy Sherman of Radius Athletics:

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.

PHASE A Drive & Finish

Coach looks at, dribbles at 1, 1 blast cuts from corner and accepts the hand off

Finish with extended layup with various release angles, different hands or the stride stop to a power layup on opposite side of rim

trail read

PHASE A – Split

Coach looks at, dribbles at 1, 1 blast cuts from corner and accepts the handoff

Split the defense with a hard crossover then finish with extended layup with various release angles, different hands or the stride stop to a power layup on same side of the rim

switch or hedge read
 

PHASE A – Pull Up

Coach looks at, dribbles at 1, 1 blast cuts from corner and accepts the handoff
