4 man shell drill is used by the best coachs every pratice.If you don`t practice anything else,do this.It teaches m2m defense with " help",along with how to play their man in relationship to the ball. Players cannot dribble or cross 3 point line to start with.Line up your player as shown in frame # 1 Notice the players in the lane. The green #1 has the ball,and the defense is putting pressure on them. The defensive #2 is a step towards the ball,and lagging back a little,looking for the green #1 to pass to the green # 2 player,when that happens,the # 2 defense will try a steal.I call it "deny" a pass. |

2 Pass the ball around quickly and make the defense "move"..
The offense gets the ball to the 2 player.Notice the position of the 1,who steps a little to the ball,and lags back a hair. The defensive 1 and 3 are ready to try to deny the pass to the offensive 1 and 3. |
