Larry Shyatt: Drills to Develop a Defensive Mindset

with Larry Shyatt,
University of Wyoming Head Coach;
former University of Florida Assistant Coach

Developing habits through consistent daily reinforcement is a major key towards developing a defensive mindset. The priorities of your program must be a part of your player's knowledge of the game. At Florida they use overload drills to make it difficult on the defense by adding extra offensive players. One of the keys in practice, and then in games, is forcing your team to holler, not talk . "early, loud and continuous" is the teaching point for player communication on the floor! Coach Shyatt demonstrates the defense drills that have made them a great team. Drill topics include guarding the ball, position defense using the rope, pass denial, guarding dribble penetration, post defense, defense transition, 4 on 3 scramble, trapping and full court lay-ups.

Larry Shyatt: Competitive Team "Peer Pressure" Drills

with Larry Shyatt,
University of Wyoming Head Coach;
former University of Florida Assistant Coach

A major focus on the practice floor at the University of Florida is competitive "peer pressure" drills. Starting with an aggressive stretch, players prepare to give an all out effort on the floor. The Gators have found that using "peer pressure" as a tool can be very effective. 'Loud and proud' communication is mandatory for every player in every drill, practice and game. The first full court drill is the lay-up drill with a goal of 13 made lay-ups. Full court passing drills create good habits, communication and passing skills. Other passing drills include three-man full court passing and three-man weave. Team ball handling is accomplished by the dribble series. This series includes the speed drills and ability to maneuver around cones on the floor. The 44-and-1 lay-up drill pushes players to make 44 lay-ups in one minute. Coach Shyatt shares six perimeter-shooting drills, and concludes with an intense defensive shell drill that incorporates positioning with the rope technique.
