Charlie, one of my readers, sent this one to me last week. A great example of basketball zone offense coaching that doesn’t require a coaching PhD to figure out.

From Charlie…
Here is a basketball rebounding drill we call Wildcat.

Have three players in the lane and a coach or another player shoot. The three battle for the rebound/loose ball wherever it goes. The player that gets the rebound/loose ball has the option of making a move and trying to score or passing out to coach/player and posting up for a return pass in order to try to score.

Players get 1 pt for:
a rebound
running down and gaining the possession of a loose ball,
scoring after procuring a rebound,
loose ball, or after gaining possession passing back out and scoring after a post up.

The first player to 5 pts is out and a new player steps in until everyone on the team has scored five points.

This drill helped with our hustle for loose balls in games and on our scoring off offensive rebounds and our going for the rebound in general.
