Written by Tony Miller | Apr 29, 2024 8:14:34 PM

Coach Tony Miller shares a great team drill to get game-like reps up against a defender. Check out the full breakdown in the video below!

Some of the key teaching points:

  • Catch, pivot, and get your eyes to the rim as quickly as possible
  • Keep the ball above the contact
  • Absorb any contact and finish with two hands
  • For the defense, contest without fouling

 

Block 1v1 Finishing
  • Players stand on the blocks, facing the Dr. Dish
  • The player who receives the pass is on offense and the other player becomes the defender
  • Catch, turn, and finish with no dribble while the defender contests the finish
