While the &#8220;Help &amp; Recover Drill&#8221; uses the same concepts except in a 3-on-3 setting.<\/em><\/p>\n<h1>Sword Fighting &amp; Help\/Recover Drill<\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jbEx0Tp21m0?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Player Movements:\u00a0<\/strong>In the &#8220;Sword Fighting Drill&#8221;, players pair up across from each other and simulate coming together to stop a dribble drive. They will touch hands to stop the ball and then recover or close out to their man with a hand up to contest a potential shot. Coach Fulford stresses quickly stepping in to help and then to step out to recover. This is a simple drill but it really drives home the need to recover with a hand up if that ball handler kicks the basketball to a shooter after he is stopped driving middle.<\/p>\n<p>In the &#8220;Help &amp; Recover Drill&#8221;, three perimeter players are looking to drive the ball into the gaps of the defense. The defenders must help or pinch to stop the dribble. As with the &#8220;Sword Fighting Drill&#8221;, the defense must recover with a hand up to contest a shot when the ball is kicked out to the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teaching Points:\u00a0<\/strong>React quickly and stop dribble penetration (Prevent gap penetration).\u00a0Recover quickly with a hand up to contest a potential 3-point shot<\/p>\n<p><em>The previous clip can be seen on Championship Productions&#8217; DVD &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.championshipproductions.com\/cgi-bin\/champ\/p\/Basketball\/All-Access-Huntington-Prep-High-School-Basketball-Practice_BD-04382.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\">All Access Huntington Prep High School Basketball Practice<\/span><\/span><\/a>.&#8221; To view the latest video selections on Player Training, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.championshipproductions.com\/cgi-bin\/champ\/c\/Basketball\/Player-Training-Skills-Training-Drills-2167.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\">click here<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntington Prep Head Coach, Rob Fulford, has produced 23 NCAA Division I basketball players from 2010 &#8211; 2013 including Andrew Wiggins and Gorgui Deng.
