3 on 3 Post Digs/Chokes

Directions:

1.  There are three offensive players and three defensive players as pictured in the diagram

2. The ball starts at the top of the key

• x1 is guarding the ball, x2 is in gap positioning, x3 is denying the post up the lane line

3. #1 passes to #2 and the defense jumps to the ball

• x2 is guarding the ball, x1 is in gap positioning, x3 is in a 3/4 deny on the post

4. #2 passes the ball to the post

• On the post feed, x3 slides behind the post and takes away the baseline shoulder

• On the catch, x2 and x1 "dig" on the post

5. #3 takes two dribbles to the middle of the floor

   • x3 walls up

   • x2 and x1 "choke"

6. #3 passes the ball back out to one of the perimeter players, the defense rotates back, and the drill ends

Other Teaching Points:

• Make sure to teach proper rotations, post defense technique, and digs/chokes

• Move on the air time of the ball

• Communicate everything
