Written by Tony Miller | Jul 22, 2021 9:30:00 PM

In this Dr. Dish Drill of the week, Coach Tony Miller breaks down a great drill for players to work on making quick decisions when help defenders rotate. Check out the full breakdown below!

One of the most important skills for a driver is identifying where help defenders are rotating and then finding open teammates.

Decision Making

  • On the pass out from the Dish, Player 1 drives towards the paint.
  • Player 1 must recognize where the defender rotates and pass instead to the open teammate.
  • Player 1 becomes the defender, while x1 replaces the shooter.
  • The shooter moves to receive a pass from the Dish.
