Drills for the Wheel Offense

with Paul Biancardi,
St. Louis University Assistant Coach;
former Wright State head coach, 2004 Horizon coach of the year;
former OSU assistant coach

Described as 'a series of broken plays,' the Wheel Offense can effectively break down the defense. Coach Biancardi breaks down the drills that make learning this "driving motion" offense achievable. Within these drills, an emphasis is put on cutting, footwork, shooting, stride and jump stop and dribble penetration. One-on-zero is a drill that works on cuts off screens using the inside pivot. The player faces up and shoots off the straight, curl or fade cut. The post duck-in drill develops a key piece of the Wheel. The two-on-zero drill works on penetration, shooting, reading and passing.Biancardi "teaches" the baseline drive and the opposite corner pass plus "one more". Other drills work on setting up open shots, adding defense, and establishing 'live' conditions. Biancardi does an excellent job of breaking down the Wheel into practical drills that reinforce skills and institute a clear understanding of this offense.
