Frank Martin Cut Defensive Drill

By on

In my opinion, the drill itself is not the leading takeaway from this video.

My hope is that you can use some of Coach Martin’s (Men’s Coach at UMASS) teaching points and terminology.

The plays were contributed by Matt Wheeler, Olympia High School (Orlando, FL).

Here are Coach Wheeler’s comments on the play:

Team USA used multiple strategies to try to combat the zone defense that Turkey played throughout most of their World Cup game. In this play the two ball screens resulted in Kemba Walker (1) being matched up against a post player in the middle of Turkey’s zone. On the first ball screen from 4, x1 fought through the screen to get back matched up with 1. 4 cut to the wing to occupy x2 and keep him from providing help on the second screen. When 1 dribbled off the screen from 5 to the middle of the floor, he was able to attack x5 one on one fand use his quickness advantage to get a basket.

 

1 dribbles off the ball screen from 4.

4 cuts to the opposite wing to occupy x2.

 

 
 

 

5 sprints into a ball screen with 1.

1 attacks x5 as 5 rolls to the basket.

 

Swing DHO Floppy

Team USA basketball faced a zone defense for much of their game against Turkey in the FIBA World Cup. They were down 1 late in overtime and ran this play to get a shot for Joe Harris (3) off of some movement. This is a common play that Gregg Popovich uses with the Spurs against man defense. They made some adjustments to run this as an effective play against Turkey’s 2-3 zone defense.

1 reversed the ball to 5. Then 5 went into a dribble handoff with 2. but didn’t need to set a good screen on x2. This allowed x2 to get through the screen and shift out of the wing area to matchup with 2 up top. 5 then screened x4 on the outside of the zone to get 3 open. This essentially forced Turkey to matchup man to man with x4 having to guard 3. x4 trailed on the screen and 3 was able to turn the corner on the catch and drive to the basket.

 

1 passes to 5.

5 dribble handoffs with 2.

4 & 3 cross under the rim.

 
 

 

2 dribbles to the top to occupy x2.

5 screens the outside of the zone (x4) to get 3 open for a shot.

 
 

Corner Rip and Counters

Army Men’s Assistant Coach Zak Boisvert has assembled some clips of the man to man action “Corner Rip” along with some counters to run when the defense adjusts and plays the play.

Zak has an outstanding site with posts on various coaching topics at www.pickandpop.net

His You Tube channel has several videos with various types of man to man plays, zone sets, and inbounds plays as well as clips on various defensive coverages.

Bruce Weber Rush Conversion Defense Drill

By on

You probably already do something similar to this to work on conversion defense. To make communicating to to our players more clear, I like to use the term “conversion” when we are going from offense to defense and “transition” when we are going from defense to offense.

I think that there are 3 key teaching points from this video for your conversion defense.

It isn’t the drills you run that help you improve, but the way you teach execution and how well the drill correlates to improving a skill that will influence the outcome of a game.

#1–Every time you do any type of conversion defense drill, play your defense rules. Coach Weber’s are having a player at the basket and a player pick up the ball. I know that in the video he wants the ball corralled earlier than this group of players picks up the ball.

#2–All players are sprinting.

#3–You don’t pick up your assigned man to man player, but you pick up the closest open player.

His two versions of the Rush Drill are on the baseline/ft line and out of 4/0 offense into conversion defense.

I also like to play live 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 and yell “change.” Offense sets ball down and converts to defense. in my opinion, this is as close as you can come to simulating trying to defend a live ball turnover. You can also add the requirement to the drill that on the change of possession, you have to guard someone other than who guards you. I would rather emphasize picking up the ball ASAP and getting another player back to the basket, then picking up open shooters.
