Coaching Basketball: Program Development & Drills

with Jerry Wainwright,
DePaul University Head Coach

Coach Wainwright begins with his coaching philosophy - touching on a wide range of subjects that include dealing with outside pressures and unreal expectations, being firm and standing up for what you believe, communication and dealing with parents. Following his talk on philosophy, Wainwright goes to the floor to demonstrate some of his favorite drills. The Movement drill is an excellent combination drill that creates difficult situations for the four defenders. Another drill, the 2-on-1 Disadvantage Drill, puts the single defender in a tough spot. Wainwright teaches defenders to make plays with your inside hand. There is a trapping element to the drill that help trapping teams get better. The 2-on-2 Full Court Drill combines trapping, ball handling and communication. The 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 Restriction Drill is a half court drill that develops good draw and kick skills on penetration. Additional drills include the 1-minute stop and 90 second defensive drill.
