Elite Level Post Player Drills & Development To develop their skills at an elite level, NBA players like Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry turn to professional basketball trainer Rob Mcclanaghan. He has helped develop some of the game’s best post players and in this presentation he takes you through the same drills he uses with the likes of Anthony Davis and the WNBA’s Candace Parker. Players learn how to create scoring opportunities with their back to the basket. McClanaghan works on catching and facing up, duck-ins, rebounding, and more. Regardless of position, players learn to become more effective scorers. Back to the Basket Post Player Drills The work beings close to the rim which helps players build the skills they need to progress and move further away from the basket. For every move and drill, Coach McClanaghan teaches the details that players need in order to beat defenders and score around the rim using no dribble, one dribble, or a combination of the two. For each move, McClanaghan teaches a counter move to keep defenders off balance. The Turnaround Series helps players develop patience in working near the rim. They learn to use effective footwork, stay low, and beat defenders in the low post. Catch and Face Post Player Drills Post players move from the low block to the mid- and high post. To be effective in scoring from these areas, players must be able to catch the ball and square up to the basket to create scoring opportunities. Coach McClanaghan teaches a number of drills, which can all be used on the perimeter as well. This helps make post players more versatile. By using the Jab Step, Coach McClanaghan shows a series of moves and counters that allow players to rip and attack the basketball using a spin back, 1-2 shot, or pushback shot. Duck-Ins, Rebounding, and Trail Shot Post Player Drills The final segment in the presentation involves duck-in moves and rebounding around the basket. Having these finishing skills is vital for any post player, especially against strong defenders. Coach McClanaghan talks about “holding the seal” which can help any post player gain an advantage when using these finishing moves. You will see a great rebounding drill that helps develop quickness and hand-eye coordination. Players also learn to rebound, gain control, and finish on the offensive end. Another drill has posts run the floor. Players must be able to put the ball on the floor and finish with a jump shot. The jump shot drill is also a good conditioning drills for posts. This is as good a video as there is on the market for developing post players. Coach McClanaghan gives you the drills and guides you through an effective post workout.

He turned the University of Buffalo into a MAC power (three tournament titles) using a fast, relentless style of offense. His video will help you teach your players how to use quick decision making skills to play fast and keep opponents on their toes. Disadvantage Shooting Players at high levels must have the ability to attack closeouts and defensive rotations. In 2-on-1 into 3-on-2 Shooting, the offense is put in an advantage situation where they must read the defense and be shot ready. The defender picks a player to close out to force them to react. The drill builds to 3-on-2 Shooting and finally 4-on-3 Live where players can attack the over-closeout and hit the open player. Transition Shooting Coach Oats demonstrates a series of transition drills designed to help players make decisions on both offense and defense. In Cincinnati 1-on-1, offensive players attack the basket going downhill in seven seconds or less. The defense must decide how to level out the attack. In the Cardinal Drill, players continue working on getting downhill on offense, but they are put into a 2-on-1 situation where they learn to make quick passes to open teammates that turn into easy baskets.

Developing the Perimeter Player Workout Coach Steele builds an element of competition into his workouts. This helps players set the tone for each other at any given workout. The drills begin with form shooting and continue into a larger shooting warm up. Ball handling is next and then comes triangle shooting where players compete to beat their scores from the previous day’s workout.

Cutthroat 4-on-4 Drills & Variations The Cutthroat Drill has become a staple in NBA and FIBA practices. While primarily a defensive drill, Nike scout and International Basketball Consultant Terry Layton offers a different take on Cutthroat using it as the cornerstone of his approach to coaching the sport. Layton has over 300 wins as a high school, junior college, and college coach in the U.S. as well as 300-plus wins coaching at the international level. In this video, Layton shows you how he has taken the defensive-minded Cutthroat Drill and used it to maximize practice time by using it to work on offensive concepts as well. Cutthroat Drill – The Set Up The traditional Cutthroat drill was derived from the basic Shell Drill and has been used primarily to develop sound team defenses. Layton prefers to get the most out of the drill by teach offensive concepts as well. In preparing for Cutthroat, Layton teaches varying formations starting with the basic 2-2 as well a 1-2-1 alignment that many prefer. Offensive Concepts Layton works on offensive concepts such as cutting, creating movement, passing, and communication as part of the Cutthroat Drill. Players drill simple actions like stepping toward a pass in this live-action situation. This version of Cutthroat is much livelier and the fast pace prepares players for game situations. Defensive Basics With improved offensive play, the Cutthroat Drill becomes even more of a challenge for the defense. Layton will teach players the basics of defense including proper closeout technique. He will use the four-line closeout drill where he teaches players to close out with their feet parallel and pointed at the ball. This creates a wall that prevents dribble penetration. With a solid understanding of closeouts, Layton introduces live 4-on-4. The drill begins with a pass to a perimeter player. The defense then touches hands before closing out to defend while the offense begins to attack the defense. Keeping Everyone Involved In an effort to avoid players standing around while the drill is in progress, Layton uses a number of ways to keep everyone active and engaged. Coach Layton likes to have at least 75 percent of his players active at all times. Some of the ways to do so are to have players work on conditioning or on passing fundamentals. Coach Layton’s take on Cutthroat is what every coach should want from his practices: a competitive environment where players are actively engaged and improving their skills. This 67-minute video will have a lasting impact on how you approach practice daily.
