Modular Basketball is time and energy saving system. We don’t hang around, we run directly for the result. We use one point guard # 1 and two forwards # 3 and two posts # 5.
Our perimeter players work the same drill. Our single Modular Basketball (MB) Drill. Plus set shots. Our forwards go to the corners to create room for our # 1, then to the posts. Spacing is geometrically the best. The distance between players prevents double-teaming. (7-8 meters or 21-24 feet).
MB Drill is the engine of our winning machine. I am sure that, many teams will use this drill. Because it is a warm-up drill + set offense drill + press attack drill. Without changing drills, just by changing the tempo, you get the best results for different techniques.
Assistants, forming groups can practice on one-on-one at a basket, footwork, stop, change of direction and speed, pass to the post under the other basket. In the middle, footwork, stop, big foot.
Posts play higher than normal. They always turn their body to the ball. (# 1 feeds them, mostly) We teach them to lean against the defense with the shoulder and to show the other hand for the pass. Turn away Jump Shots, Step in, using “Big Step footwork techniques” for a dunk are our preferred offensive moves for our posts.
We use forwards with a new format. They are attacking while receiving the ball. They pass and change spots or shoot and run back, to stop the offensive transition.
They run to the Key area to pick up loose balls. And runs to guard the play Maker/point guard. (Our # 1 runs back to cover the any opponents players who leave early and might be “cherry picking”.
This is called the “longitudinal switch between # 1 and # 3″ to stop offensive transition 100% of the time. You will soon see how this technique works when you visit our camp to learn Modular Basketball.
The # 5 tries to stop the outlet pass with pressure and the # 4, runs back all the way to his own hoop to protect his basket.
As you see, in only a moment, 3 of our players are already in our defensive side of the court, and # 4 is running to our colored area (Key).
The most important technique to teach is the when we start to run. İf you are late, you can’t fulfill your obligations.
