Dribble Penetration & Pitch Shooting

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Setup:

Need two basketballs, 10 players and three minutes on the clock.

Dribble Penetration and Pitch Shooting
How it Works

1.The middle drives (emphasize jump stops) and pitches to the left wing (emphasize catch ready and communicate location of receiver).

2.The left wing (shot fake) dribble penetrates, executes a jump stop in the paint and pitches to right wing to shooter (emphasize catch ready and communicate location).

3.The shooter rebounds own shot and passes to the middle-drive line area.

4.The players rotate to line they pass to.

5.Switch the first pass second time through drill to get both wing drives and shots.

Scoring

First 20 made shots (regardless of spot) are worth one point. During last minute, if team has accumulated 20 points any made three-pointer is worth two points. The team goal is 30 points or more in three minutes or coach’s consequence for the difference.
