How to Play Basketball: Push & Explode

The next drill that we are going to take you through is called the push and explode we get our ones in our twos to get the alley-oop pass. They will call for the alley-oop pass and they will learn to explode or push at full speed with the ball on the sprint up the court. Not just to run a fast break. We want them to learn to create a fast break. The facts are this most of offensive players are not willing to run back in a dead sprint on defense one or two will correct, four or five will not. So we want our point guards not just to run fast breaks. We want them to have speed and explosion with the ball so that they have ability to create fast breaks and run by people that are jogging back on defense.

We are going to go down. We are going to jump stop inside the foul line to get that high percentage shot. This man comes from that line. He is going to throw it on the glass and pivot to outside and outlet it, get off with the ball and take off. Let’s go. Let’s take a look at it. Mack is exploding both ways. Good!
