A Coach's Diary

This is a good change up to the traditional 3 on 2/2 on 1 transition drill by the Cleveland Cavaliers in their training camp from 2016.

Everybody loves to sprint on offense, but you have to teach how to sprint back in transition defense and get matched up. 1 - Load to the ball 2 - Inside the line of the ball 3 - Talk and match-up Puts 6 seconds on the clock to get a clean shot and end with a block out.

The secondary break being taught here isn't bad at all, but what I really like is the different way that they were able to flow into their transition out of the drill.  I am always looking for ways to start the drill, and we have used different starts, such as out of shell drill and out of a BLOB or SLOB play 5 on 0 or against dummy defense.
