Delta High School Sets to Scout Drill

By Brian Williams on July 22, 2020

Delta High School Sets to Scout Drill

Contributed by Derek Sheridan, Head Boys Coach Delta High School (Delta, Ohio)

PURPOSE:

  • To work on team offense & defense simultaneously.
  • To shorten practice sessions the day before a game or days near a game where the players are still making contact with each other & running up & down the court.
  • Breaks up the monotony of traditional “scouting” practices. Players like this drill.

RULES:

  • One coach has the team who starts on offense. This team runs through the prescribed offense(s), set(s), &/or offensive action(s) 5 v. 0.  We usually executed 3 sets prior to transitioning to D’.
  • On the coach’s cadence, the ball is outletted to the next offensive team’s PG on the SIDELINE & all 5 players (who just ran offense 5v0) sprint & touch the bankboard & then transition to the opposite end to defend the oppositions set/offense/action.
  • A different coach has 5 players on the opposite side of the court who run the opposition’s offenses, sets, &/or actions that need to be broke down & repeated.
    • Typically, the defensive team defends the offense at full speed. Then the coach takes the court and breaks down the set/offense/action step-by-step, detailing the timing, ball movement, player movement, and desired outcome.  The defense will then defend he set/offense/action again in full speed, then rotate off the court.
  • To make the drill flow & run as smoothly as possible, the JV coach takes his team to a side basket or Aux gym & teaches them the oppositions sets/offenses/actions prior to the beginning of practice or while the varsity team is performing their pre-practice warm ups routine/shooting. This way once the drill starts there is little to zero stoppage of movement.

ROTATION:

  • Rotations are contingent on how many players/teams are involved in the practice session.
  • Most teams practice varsity & JV combined. Unless the coach has a “scout team” available, he will need at least 10-15 players for this drill to flow smoothly.

Below is an example of the rotations from one of our practice session #57:

SETS TO DEFENSE ROTATION: (1st Team v. JV, 2nd Team v. JV, JV v. First Team)

  1. 2-Guard / Circle / Frank v. BHS “X”
  2. Pairs / X-Lo / JK v. BHS “Circle”
  3. Spartan / Spartan:JK / Slap v. BHS “ Purdue”
  4. “Go” / “Down” / “Green” v. BHS “Hi/Lo”
  5. “Spartan” SLOB v. BHS “Center Screen”
  6. “Spartan:Slap” SLOB v. BHS “Duke” BLOB
  7. “54” SLOB v. BHS “Line” BLOB
  8. “Tommy” SLOB v. BHS “24 Inbounds” BLOB
  9. “Royal” BLOB v. BHS “20 Inbounds” BLOB
