Pitino Series

Directions:

1. There are two lines, one on each baseline

2. Players dribble the length of the court

3. When they get to a cone, they make a change of direction move

4. Once they get to the basket on the opposite side of the floor, they score the basketball

Other Teaching Points:

• Work on a variety of change of direction moves at the different spots on the floor

• Utilize both sides of the floor

• Work on a variety of designated finishes

• If limited for space, you can use the side baskets instead

• This is a great way to incorporate conditioning with a ball

• Types of change of direction moves:

  • Hesitation, crossover, between the legs, behind the back, spin move, combo dribble, etc.

• Types of finishes to work on:

  • Regular lay-up, power lay-up, shot fake finish, pull-up J, floater, Euro step, Rondo, Barkley, reverse lay-up, inside hand finish, awkward finish, etc.
