Topic: No Communication on the Basketball Court
Question:
Do you mind helping me out with a drill that you perhaps know that helps my players talk on the pitch. It's as though they can't talk and this costs the team... no communication...
Answer:
I would say that every single drill that you do should teach them how to communicate…
- Shooting drills - make sure players always call for the ball when ready to receive the pass, "Ball, Ball"
- Rebounding drills – make sure players always yell, "shot"
- Defensive drills – make sure players always yell, "I got ball", "skip pass", "I got help", etc.
- etc.
Bottom line, come up with something for your players to say in every single drill that you do. Make it a point of emphasis and enforce. Soon you'll find that the communication carries over into games. Just strive to always teach useful communication in the drills.
