Transition Defense
Anyone have any good transition defense drills? My team kind of operates under the assumption we are not a great offensive rebounding team hence we send two guys back on every shot. We are currently good at stopping other teams in transition. We have two weeks till the state tournament to get great at it. What do you guys have?

I got one. Have the guys run through a play, or any sort of offense. Blow the whistle at any point. When the whistle blows, the guy must hand the ball to the defender, run and touch the baseline. So its constantly a transition defense drill. Make sure the trailer is running opposite of the ball. Everyone else should be pushed ball side. You could also add the passer as another guy who must touch the baseline.

My thoughts on this from my expierence was I had a couple teams without any true post players. I used a 5 out or a 1 in 4 out offense. I've found with those offenses there are less rebounds. We tried to adjust with more heart and hustle but the players are basically out of position from the start. Wish I could help more.

Sam...Pete Newell believed in "triangle" rebounding...3 men form a rebounding triangle while the other two head out beyond the top of the key, splitting so each are different halves of the court. If the outlet pass comes to player A's side, he goes and pressures the ball, other player moves toward half court. Pressure the outlet pass...pressure the receiver of the outlet pass. This is basically a full court press off the missed shot attempt.
Tim Floyd had two guards sprint back...one calls basket, the other stops at mid-court. The guy at mid-court will pressure the point and cover the first pass while his partner stays in lane and defends basket. Pressure the rebounder so outlet pass is slowed down...rest sprint back to lane.
First...you must figure out what you want players to do in defensive transition...and then create your drills based on this action. Running drills that do not further your offensive or defensive system of play are a waste of time. Good exercise, maybe...look cool, maybe...but a waste of time. You have to get your kids to do what you want them to do through repetition. If you want to discuss this further, email me and I will be glad to visit with you. jmorris @ cablene . com

Hi Drew,
I've had teams not tall, but that does not mean that renounce the offensive rebound. First allows the player to have rebounded to have difficulty to give a quick outlet pass. The defender must pressure the ball out to allow time for other players to retreat.
Responsibilities:
- 1 does not allow 1x0 situations, in the event that a shoot, the responsibility passes to 2.
- 2 2x1 does not allow situations, in the event that a shoot, the responsibility passes to 3.
- 3 3x2 does not allow situations.
- 4 and 5, pressed the offensive rebound out of the ball.
- The pivot that is not the rebounder, the outside help to guide the player with the ball towards the band.
The transition defensive, I do not work with specific exercises, which work in situations, 5x5, 4x4, 3x3, 3x2, 2x1 focusing attention and setting standards.
I hope it will be useful, greetings
