3 on 3 Sink and Fill

Directions:

1. There are three offensive players and three defensive players

2. #1 passes to coach 

3. Defense rotates to proper positions (help and gap/deny) 

4. Coach passes to #3 

5. Defense rotates to proper positions (help and ball)

6. #3 drives to the basket as x3 allows him to 

7. x2 helps on the drive, outside of the lane 

8. x1 covers down and protects baseline

9. The drill is continuous depending on how many reversals you want

Other Teaching Points:

• Rotate on the air-time of the ball

• Communicate all of your defensive actions

• Jump to the ball on the pass

• On the drive, the help defender should stop the ball outside of the lane

• The bottom man of the "I" made on the help line should be the one to help on the drive

• The top man of the "I" made on the help line should cover down to protect the basket and baseline pass (get to the tip of the rim)

• You can make this drill competitive and also add players (i.e. 4 on 4, 5 on 5)
