1 00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:06,170 hey guys it's coach Damon we get a lot 2 00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:08,329 of questions about becoming a better 3 00:00:08,329 --> 00:00:11,530 passer and we brought you in the past 4 00:00:11,530 --> 00:00:14,240 wall passing series where you try to hit 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,100 a certain spot or you make moves and hit 6 00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:17,960 a spot where you really technically 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,510 develop the ability to hit spots over 8 00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:22,220 and over again today we're going to 9 00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:23,839 bring you another level in a chair 10 00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:26,860 passing series 11 00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:33,789 [Music] 12 00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:39,129 step one is to be able to pass with no 13 00:00:39,129 --> 00:00:41,109 defense step two is to be able to hit 14 00:00:41,109 --> 00:00:44,050 through very tight spaces as you know in 15 00:00:44,050 --> 00:00:45,730 a game there gonna be five guys on 16 00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:48,310 defense so that's ten active arms that 17 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:50,679 you have to navigate when you're setting 18 00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:52,090 up teammates when you're dropping dimes 19 00:00:52,090 --> 00:00:55,330 to get guys in positions the score to be 20 00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:56,379 able to get through those spaces 21 00:00:56,379 --> 00:00:58,209 requires a lot more than just being able 22 00:00:58,209 --> 00:01:00,940 to hit a spot on the wall so today's 23 00:01:00,940 --> 00:01:03,190 series is about giving you some 24 00:01:03,190 --> 00:01:05,410 representation of a defense and then 25 00:01:05,410 --> 00:01:06,550 going forward we're going to bring you 26 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:08,859 even more videos where you have to work 27 00:01:08,859 --> 00:01:10,660 against a live defense and show that you 28 00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:12,940 can pass even with the defense guarding 29 00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:14,680 you and somebody guarding your teammate 30 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,870 today with our chair series as you can 31 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:18,520 see we've got chairs set up creating a 32 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,040 tight window the better you get the 33 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,230 tighter you want to make that window and 34 00:01:23,230 --> 00:01:24,279 then you're going to work through a 35 00:01:24,279 --> 00:01:25,779 series with several different game 36 00:01:25,779 --> 00:01:27,940 passes the first of which is just going 37 00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:29,980 to be a standard bounce pass now when 38 00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:31,540 you're leading the break or even if 39 00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:33,099 you're in a half-court situation you may 40 00:01:33,099 --> 00:01:36,099 have to drop a very quick standard 41 00:01:36,099 --> 00:01:38,950 bounce pass through tight spaces so here 42 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:40,659 with our tight spaces here we're going 43 00:01:40,659 --> 00:01:43,000 to just rep out what's simple and I'm 44 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,760 over and over and over again tight space 45 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,790 straight back to tight space straight 46 00:01:48,790 --> 00:01:51,489 back to the more comfortable I get the 47 00:01:51,489 --> 00:01:53,589 further I'm going to back up and see if 48 00:01:53,589 --> 00:01:55,029 I can still get it through that tight 49 00:01:55,029 --> 00:01:56,830 space I want to get to where I'm 50 00:01:56,830 --> 00:02:00,189 eventually three-point line and still 51 00:02:00,189 --> 00:02:02,379 able to fire it through those tight 52 00:02:02,379 --> 00:02:04,839 spaces if I can't get it through a tight 53 00:02:04,839 --> 00:02:07,659 space with out an active defense I'm not 54 00:02:07,659 --> 00:02:08,769 going to be able to get it through with 55 00:02:08,769 --> 00:02:11,409 the defense this simulates that action 56 00:02:11,409 --> 00:02:13,719 our second drill is going to be a move 57 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:15,880 to pass where I'm gonna be just like if 58 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,890 I was in the half court making a quick 59 00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:20,740 move teammate pops open cuts backdoor 60 00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:23,350 and I still have the ability to feed it 61 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:25,480 through that tight space if I can't make 62 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,390 these passes off of a quick move it's 63 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:29,950 going to be very difficult for me to 64 00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:31,540 make a pass in a game when somebody's 65 00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:33,550 guarding me somebody's guarding my 66 00:02:33,550 --> 00:02:35,530 teammate and help side is constantly 67 00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:37,690 rotating the move is up to you but I 68 00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:39,790 might start here and then quick through 69 00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:42,640 hit always navigating that tight space 70 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,670 I might go don't move has it quick 71 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:49,119 through hit mix it up the 72 00:02:49,119 --> 00:02:50,379 goal is to always get it through that 73 00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:52,899 tight space I want you to also notice on 74 00:02:52,899 --> 00:02:54,819 each of my passes the ball is getting 75 00:02:54,819 --> 00:02:58,149 all the way back to me I'm not aiming it 76 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:59,679 through so it comes back and hits the 77 00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:02,379 chairs every time ball is through then 78 00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:03,879 it's back to my hands because there's 79 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,569 some velocity is that getting my pass in 80 00:03:06,569 --> 00:03:09,399 our third pass in the series is going to 81 00:03:09,399 --> 00:03:11,110 be a pocket pass just like if you were 82 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:12,819 to come off of a screen and roll if 83 00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:14,200 you've seen some of our screen and roll 84 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,420 content you'll see where we come off and 85 00:03:16,420 --> 00:03:19,390 then we go pocket to pocket throw in a 86 00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:21,250 cross our body with that pocket pass 87 00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:23,560 this enables us to quickly go straight 88 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,629 from the dribble to hit the roll man 89 00:03:25,629 --> 00:03:27,610 without telling everybody in the gym a 90 00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:29,980 pass or shot is coming as we pick up the 91 00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:32,259 ball now in a pick and roll situation 92 00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:33,489 that's going to be one of the tightest 93 00:03:33,489 --> 00:03:35,769 spaces we find in the game so we want to 94 00:03:35,769 --> 00:03:37,749 try to simulate that and take those 95 00:03:37,749 --> 00:03:41,050 steps and hit left right and then pocket 96 00:03:41,050 --> 00:03:43,840 pass foo our chair tight space so I'm 97 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,149 here boom tight space hit through I'm 98 00:03:49,149 --> 00:03:54,099 here chair tight space hit through now 99 00:03:54,099 --> 00:03:56,110 see the game I'm off the pick roll man 100 00:03:56,110 --> 00:04:02,349 Oh barely made it through big garage 101 00:04:02,349 --> 00:04:05,920 pocket pass pocket pass through tight 102 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,340 space straight back to me game actions 103 00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:12,189 in a drill situation our next pass is 104 00:04:12,189 --> 00:04:14,230 going to be a dump down where we attack 105 00:04:14,230 --> 00:04:17,170 the mid line and as that big man steps 106 00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:19,839 up he leaves our big open on the block 107 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,968 now there are two passes that can get 108 00:04:21,968 --> 00:04:22,480 through here 109 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,759 one if we've got an athletic big or 110 00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:26,469 somebody who can play at the rim we can 111 00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:27,999 go high two hands where they can go up 112 00:04:27,999 --> 00:04:30,610 to the rim and finish or we can also 113 00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:33,459 dump down one advantage we have against 114 00:04:33,459 --> 00:04:35,769 a big coming to us is if I put the ball 115 00:04:35,769 --> 00:04:37,959 on the ground somebody who's six eight 116 00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:40,269 six nine seven feet they're not going to 117 00:04:40,269 --> 00:04:41,980 be able to get down and get that so 118 00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:44,559 again using a type of pocket pass I'm 119 00:04:44,559 --> 00:04:47,890 going to go across my body outside 120 00:04:47,890 --> 00:04:50,680 pocket inside pocket is that pocket pass 121 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,839 to that big again I'm trying to see a 122 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,390 game situation here I'm not just doing a 123 00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:58,899 drill so I attack midline big steps up I 124 00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:01,680 pocket pass and we get a finish 125 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,410 I'm seeing the game big steps up pocket 126 00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:13,490 pass I beat it big steps pocket pass 127 00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:17,580 right back to it pocket pass over and 128 00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:21,390 over and over again pocket pass simple 129 00:05:21,390 --> 00:05:24,720 pass pocket to pocket see in the game in 130 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,750 my drill situation now our last pass is 131 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:30,020 going to be a behind the back pass 132 00:05:30,020 --> 00:05:32,460 there's a time and place for every pass 133 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:35,340 some guys will say that this is too much 134 00:05:35,340 --> 00:05:36,930 it's showing off 135 00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:39,540 you watch elite players if I'm attacking 136 00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:42,030 and the big steps up here I may not be 137 00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:44,190 able to throw over top or rap and this 138 00:05:44,190 --> 00:05:47,850 may be the best pass for me anything is 139 00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:49,590 a fundamental if you've practiced it to 140 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:51,390 the point where you can't get it wrong 141 00:05:51,390 --> 00:05:54,360 in your workouts so if you've perfected 142 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,370 this pass it's something you should be 143 00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:58,890 able to apply in your game here we're 144 00:05:58,890 --> 00:06:00,180 going to work on them behind the back 145 00:06:00,180 --> 00:06:02,850 bounce pass through tight spaces 146 00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:04,800 something that can be used as you attack 147 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,720 and see help side something you might 148 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,150 use in the open court in transition but 149 00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:11,070 something that needs to be on time on 150 00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:14,910 target to be used correctly here behind 151 00:06:14,910 --> 00:06:20,670 the back tight space again behind the 152 00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:25,500 back tight space on time on target any 153 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:28,530 pass is a great pass if it's completed 154 00:06:28,530 --> 00:06:31,110 it's been practiced it's been perfected 155 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:34,860 and it leads to a basket now this chair 156 00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:37,470 tight spaces series again it's a part of 157 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:39,570 a larger curriculum a larger series 158 00:06:39,570 --> 00:06:42,720 where we started hitting spots now we're 159 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,390 adding tighter spaces before we progress 160 00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:48,090 to where we go live game speed against 161 00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:50,310 the defense you have to be able to do it 162 00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:52,680 slow before you can go fast you have to 163 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,060 better do it fast before you can go 164 00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:54,690 contact 165 00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:56,460 now our next component is going to be 166 00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:58,710 you seeing against a live defense where 167 00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,510 you make decisions where you have to 168 00:07:00,510 --> 00:07:02,910 process information to give you step 169 00:07:02,910 --> 00:07:04,500 three before you go step four where you 170 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,190 can do it in a game 171 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:21,850 [Music]
