About This Play/Drill

 

At Fort Myers High School we run the Read and React Offense from Better Basketball. If you are not familiar with the offense it consists of five spots that should always be filled. If your defenders feet are above the three point line (Read Line) and you are one pass away we tell our players to immediately cut back door. With that in mind this morning I put a couple of our guys through a grueling session of finishing moves which incorporates this concept. 

When finishing from the sides I like to teach my players to get their shoulders parallel with the baseline to product themselves and the ball from a defender.
