I'm always
looking for ways to better and better maximize my practice times. In this
short clip, OU women's coach Sherri Coale talks about the 5 things they do at
OU every practice. I believe in these 5 things completely, and aside from
having live time to 'play,' these 5 are definitely everyday 'must-haves' in my
practice as well.
1 – Shoot - Make shots, win games
- Game shots, game spots, game speed
The greatest plays in all the world make no difference whatsoever if you can’t make a 3, make a jump shot, finish a layup.
Practices shooting the shots that you expect to get in the games.
Be good at the things that happen a lot, and how can you be good if you don’t practice shooting?

2 – Defensive Transition – Contest EVERY shot
- No layups | no
uncontested shots | make teams shoot over you
Protect the basket and stop the ball so that you don’t give up easy baskets.
3 - Rebounding – No second shots
- No second chance shots.
A lot of shots are missed, so practice boxing out and rebounding the ball so that you can get more shots every game than your opponents.

4 – Fundamentals of Offense – Take care of the ball
- Dribble, passing and catching
- Movements – what do you do when you don’t have the ball: cutting, screening, spacing, and transition

5 – Defensive Fundamentals – No Uncontested shots
- Close out
- Contain the ball
- Contest all shots
- Close out
- Contain the ball
- Contest all shots
No matter how
you play on defense, man, zone or press, you have to be able to closeout on a
live ball, contain the ball, and contest shots to have a chance at success.
