PREPARE YOUR TEAM FOR THESE 20 LATE GAME SITUATIONS
I have put together a list of late game situations that coaches need to prepare their team for. You may not even encounter some of these situations during the season, but don't get caught off guard, and prepare for them. These are situations that as a coach you need to think about so you at least know what your choices will be if you are faced with them.

CATCH & ATTACK 1-ON-1
SETTING UP THE DRILL
Form two lines along the baseline; one offense, one defense. The offense
line is along the sideline. Place two cones near the half court line
with the cone for the offense being a shorter distance than the defense.
EXECUTING THE DRILL
Coach has the ball. When Coach yells "Go!" Player 1 and x1 sprint around
their respective cones. When 1 (offense) gets around their cone Coach
throws them the ball and they attack the basket attempting to score
while x1 tries to stop the score. Players rotate lines when rep is
completed.
SCORING: 1 point per basket made. First player to 3 points, wins. Can
also give points for stops. First player to get 3 stops, wins.
VARIATION: Divide the players into two teams. Give each player on
each team three chances to play offense. Team with most points wins.
