Basketball Drills: Reading the 2nd Line of Defense

At Dr. Dish Basketball we aim to provide coaches, players, trainers, and parents with multiple options to utilize our shooting machines. Between individual and team drills, there are endless ways to use Dr. Dish machines to accelerate skill development faster than ever. 

Most players are focused on beating their own defender but we know the game of basketball is not a game of 1 v 1, it is a game of 5 v 5. Meaning, your defender isn't the only one to worry about!

In this drill of the week Coach Jefferson Mason dives into the importance of paying attention to the second line of defense and how to beat them to get a good look.  

Check it out below! 

This is a great progression to execute on a Dr. Dish in a team setting to teach the defense and offense how to react in certain scenarios. 

Be on the lookout for more drills coming soon that address beating the second defender - a concept that is sometimes overlooked.
