Basketball drill: back by
Suitable for the following techniques: attack
Back by
Requirements:
players must be able to run a lay up from a bounce pass
Goal: learn
how to punish the overplaying of the forward by an aggressive defense
Organization:
- guard dribbles up from behind the centre circle
- at the same moment the centre 4 comes to the elbow
- and player 3 sprints to the pawn
- 1 passes to 4 with a bounce pass
- 3 sprints to the basket with a sharp change of direction and speed
- and receives the bounce pass from 4
Rotation:
- 4 grabs the rebound
- and takes the ball on the back line
- 3 goes to defend the inbound pass
- when 9 receives the ball, 7 takes position at the sideline for the next inbound pass
- 4 and 5 do not rotate but take turns.
- 1 joins the line behind the pawn
- 9 passes the ball to 8 and joins the row behind it
Variation:
- 1 pretends he is going to put a screen away on the weak side, but cuts to 4 for a hand off
- takes the shot
- OR plays pick and roll with 4
Teaching Points:
- Sprint to the pawn: when passing, you as the attacker must take the defender well outside the three-point line to create enough space for the back door.
- 1 must feint immediately after the pass to be in time for the hand-off.
