Developing Fundamentals: Rebounding

Determination

Your rebounding motto should be, "The ball belongs to me and, I'm going to have it!"Take a lot of pride in your offensive rebounds. They are harder to come by. It takes a lot of work to be

good at rebounding; however, there is nothing more satisfying than a rebound pulled down in acrowd under the glass, and then going back up with it, scoring, and getting a foul shot, too.Mental outlook is one of the most important factors in rebounding. You need the proper frame ofmind when going for the ball. You have to be determined that you will do your best to get the ball.Rebounding starts with determination. There are nine other players on the court; but, you have towant the rebound the most. This mental and physical toughness will pay off.One important thing to remember, once you have the ball in your hands, is to bring it down to yourchest with elbows out wide. This protects the ball. When you land on the floor, with the ball, be sureto come down with a wide and strong position. This will keep you from being knocked over when thedefence bumps you. This, also, helps you to protect the ball.If you are in a crowd, under your offensive board, the tip-in is a good thing to use. Even if you miss,

you are keeping the ball alive. Even if you can't get it with your second and third effort, perhaps ateammate might.

Positioning

Positioning for offensive rebounds is important. A good strong position is the secret of both offensiveand defensive rebounding. First of all, you have to reach that spot in the lane where you think the ballwill come down. Don't get too farunder the basket. You don't want tobe too far away from the rim, either.Once you are here, you must be ableto hold your position for two or threeseconds. Keep low with knees bent,and legs wide to provide a large andstrong base. This will keep you frombeing pushed out of position by the

defence. Your back should be slightlybent forward and your arms at a 45-degree angle over your shoulders. Byholding your arms like this, thedefence will not be able to hook youand pin your arms at your sides. Doall these things and you will be in agood position to rebound.

Another thing you should alwaysremember, don't try to dribble theball when you grab a rebound andcome back down to the floor.Immediately go back up strong to the

basket.

Aggressiveness

The painted area is one of the most physical places in the world of sports. When you are there, yourjob is too rebound. Be prepared to be elbowed, shoved, pushed, or even knocked to the floor. That'sthe nature of the game. If you are not willing to take the pain, you will never develop into arebounder.Even though it is so physical in the paint, even in high school, you must be extremely aggressive toget in there and rebound. Whenever you are blocked out by your defensive man, keep movingaround and try for a better position.Remember that 75 percent of all missed shots go in a direction away from the shooter. Generally, thefurther away the shooter is from the basket, the higher and further out the ball will bounce. Shotstaken from the side have a tendency to bounce to the opposite side. Shots taken straight on at the

basket will generally bounce straight back to the shooter.

Developing Fundamentals: Free Throw Shooting

Foul shooting is vital for every team. Good teams often have a trait of getting to the line andcollecting what should be easy points. Free Throw points can make up a large portion of ateams scoring total; here are 2 examples:

The arbour Heat in the 2007 regular season averaged just over 85 points per game, 15 ofthese points came from the line, (18% of the total). The Z Breakers averaged 101 points pergame in this last season, 17 of these points came from the line (17% of the total).Heat shot at 70.3%, the Breakers at 70.2%.

So with the possibility of just under 20% of your points coming from the line, make sure yourplayers practice shooting free throws often.

Coaching Points for Free Throw Shooting

Keep the shot simple and the same

Get in the groove Practice daily, record your results

Make every shot count, including at practice, set competitive goals

Have a higher % goal at training than your game % to allow for game pressure

Have a set routine

Shoot to swish the ball get a feel of the distance control

Practice foul shots every practice and more!

line in the 2007 season.

Rebounding and Foul Shooting DrillsA regular part of the Coaches Time out will be the Drills section, for you to look over and giveyou ideas for your trainings. This month we look at Rebounding and Free throw shooting.

It is often noted that rebounding is the most under taught skill in basketball, yet it is soimportant and can be the difference between the winning and losing of the game. Like wisefoul shooting is often mentioned as a key part of the game and poor shooting often letsteams down.

Make rebounding and foul shooting part of practice every training and reboundingparticulaly an emphsis in every live drill.

Hear are a couple of basic drills you can use;

Drill 1: Round the wagon Rebounding

Basketball doesn't build character it reveals it.-- Author Unknown

Emphasize is on boxing out and communication.

Players 1, 2, 3 and 4 are on defence.

Players 5, 6, 7 and 8 are on offense.

The coach calls "slide" and the defensive players

slide in anti clockwise direction, calling out the

names of the offensive players as they pass them

After a 5-10 second period, the coach shoots the ball,

and the offensive players crash the boards.

Defensive players must box out and come up with the

rebound. If the ball is rebounded by the offense, play 4

on 4 till a stop or a score.

The defence must get three stops in a row.

Variation:

You can also go into 4 on 4 transition to the other end of

the court and back on a score or on a stop


5/12


Rebounding Drills

Drill 2: X-Out Box outs

Similar to the round the wagon drill, but this time the offensive players are around the key.Still a major emphasis on communicating which player they are going to box as they movearound.

"It is not how big you are; it is how big you play."

--Author Unknown

The drill starts with the coach making a pass to the

opposite side of the court.

Defensive players rotate diagonally. After catching

the ball, the coach shoots the ball and the

defensive players must block out their new

opponent and secure the ball.

If the defence get the rebound they make an

outlet pass to the coach. If the offense gets the ball

they then play 4 on 4 in the half court.

Emphasis:

Communication while rotating.

Down in a stance, with hands up ready tograb the rebound.

Defenders must make contact with theoffensive players when blocking out.

Variation:May turn the drill the into full court transitionto the other end of the court.

Change the number of stops to get out


6/12


Rebounding Drills

Drill 3: Mary- go-round

"If you think small things don't matter, think of the

last game you lost by one point."

--Author Unknown

4 players do slides around the free throw circle facing

inwards.

Make sure players are sliding in stance and

maintaining a wide base, maintaining the same

distance between the each other..

Coach is standin with the ball

When the coach shoots, the players below the foul

line have to box out the players above the foul line

Addition: Team that gets rebound (O or D) transitions

to the other end 2 v 2


7/12


Foul Shooting Drills:

Drill 1: Win the Game

Drill 2: Make or Run

Drill 3: Free Throw Knock Out

Players line up around the key.

The score starts at 80 80.

Each player shoots a foul shot and for each shotmade the team scores 1. For each shot missed theiropponents score 2.

The team that gets to 100 first is the winner (i.e.Make 20 before you miss 10).

This is a good drill to complete at the end of trainings for a

bit of conditioning and makes players concentrate when

they are tired and under pressure.

Players are to shoot free throws.

If they miss the first, they are to run 2 wind sprints (Up and

backs), running at game speed.

If they hit the first and miss second they are to run one wind

sprint.

As added measure if they shoot air ball they are to double

the number being run.

Like the normal game of knock out where if the playerbehind you gets it in before you do you are out, but this

time only for foul shots, no put backs (i.e. if you miss and

the person behind you gets it in you are out)

If a player makes it they go to the back of the line.

Continue till you have a winner.

Players who are knocked out have to go to spare hoops

and shot foul shoots till the game is finished.

In the spot light Ang Perrott-Hunt

North Harbour Under 19 Girls Coach, Harbour BreezeAssistant Coach 2008

Ang is considered by many as the top female coach inour region and throughout New Zealand. She has been

coaching in the Harbour Rep program for a number of

years now and has lead the under 17 girls to the

National title over the past 2 years. This year she takes

the reins of the Under 19 Girls, which will be a real

challenge as this is a very competitive age group.

I had a chat to Ang to find out more about her coaching

career so far.

Whendid you first start coaching?

I started serious coaching in 2000 with the Tai-Tokerau Under 16 girls.

Whatmade youwant to becomea coach?

A number of reasons, lack of female coaches at the time, at the end of my playingdays and really just because I wanted to give something back to the game.

Who has influenced your coaching themost?

Tony Pompallier got me started and encouraged me to get into coaching. BrettGoebel and Dave Mackay through their different coaching styles and how they relate

to players.

Biggest highlight so far?

Winning the two under 17 National titles, in particular the buzzer beater in the 2006final in front of the home fans at the North Shore Events Centre.

Hardest skill/concept to teach?

Reading the game

Most important skill/concept to teach?

Stance, playing in it consistently

Whowould you rather coach Boys/Girls?Why?

Girls, but really I just love coaching players that get after it, play hard and want tolearn

Whistle or nowhistle?

No Whistle

Advice to beginning coaches?

Have an open mind, seek out knowledge, get a mentor and enjoy what you do

Ang and Brett after winning the WBL title last year

Know the Rules?

Again thanks to FIBA here are some questions to test your knowledge of the rules.

Most Players think refs need a hand every now and then

1. A1 is in possession of the ball for a throw-in when A3 fouls B3. This is the fifth player foulcommitted by team A in that period. Shall free throws be awarded?

2. Coach A is granted a time-out. During the time-out, B2 reports to the scorer as a substitute.

Must B2 wait until the referee has recognized the substitution before B2 can become a player?

3. Following a team B field goal, team A is granted a time-out. When play resumes following the

time-out, A3 is handed the ball out-of bounds on the end line for a throw-in. A3 passes the ball

to A4 who is also out-of-bounds in that end line. A4 then passes the ball inbounds to A5. Is this

action legal?

4. Two free-throws and possession are awarded to team B because of technical foul assessed to

coach A. An additional technical foul is then committed by B2. When free-throws are

completed, shall play resume with a team A throw-in at centre court?

5. After A4 illegally returns the ball to the backcourt, a throw in is awarded to B4. Must the

throw-in take place in team Bs frontcourt?

6. Team A appears on the court with shirts that have a colour on the front that is different than

that on the back. Is this legal?

Answers:

1. No

2. No

3. Yes

4. Yes

5. Yes6. No
