Martelli believes that one on one play is an important component of today's practice. Martelli believes that one-on-1 play is a way to emphasize skill, conditioning, and competition. Martelli's philosophy emphasizes hard work and competitiveness. It is the responsibility of the coach to develop skills in every player during drills. He uses chairs to make a half-court drill. This drill can also be used to concentrate on the stops of the defender. Competitive partner drills include the top and baseline of key drills. Rotational drills allow players to move from one spot into the next, while still getting eight one-on-one reps. Scores are kept track of both individuals and teams during practice. One-on-one coaching is a multipurpose drill that allows players to play either from the perimeter or the posts. Martelli creates new drills each day to keep things interesting. Each day has a different consequence. Sutton Drill and Coach Pass one vs. Two, Sutton Drill, Full Court One-on-1, Knicks, Mismatch, and King of the Hill round out a great collection of one-on-1 drills.
