with Bill Fennelly,
Iowa State University Head Woman's Basketball Coach
Coach Fennelly's practice drills reflect his commitment to three skill areas: passing, dribbling and shooting. To develop dribbling skills, he starts practice with two-ball dribble drills. The two-ball passing increases communication, bent knee position and passing skills. Post and perimeter players work on position specific moves and skills. Post players work on shooting, post moves and accepting contact around the basket. Guards work on penetration and kick, as well as shooting off the dribble or pass. The 3-point shot is utilized often in this practice session and is an emphasis all year long. Other skills demonstrated are spacing, feeding the post, post moves, floor awareness, handoff and post roll after handoff. A shooting drill series is a consistent part of Fennelly's practices. Drills include post shooting, three player-2 ball and triangle shooting. The benefit of these drills includes conditioning, passing, catching, communication and repetition. The half court segment starts with a dozen sets that include: Regular Fist, Fist three, Two fist, Wing fist, Thumbs down fist, Thumbs down special, Thumb up, Screen & slip, Thumb up five, Thumbs up fist, State and Re-screen. In live 5-5 action, each of these actions are executed. A 3-minute shooting drill is broken down into three separate shooting segments.

with Mark Gottfried,

Each practice begins with individual work, perimeter and post, on both ends of the floor. He shows two favorite warm-up drills - wing denial drill and the 2-on-2 close out drill. Each day he introduces a new concept when their minds are fresh and focused. In this segment, out of bounds plays and special plays are put together piece by piece. Gottfried moves to offensive concepts and demonstrates a wingback cut for a lay-up or a short bank shot. Defensively, shell defensive work is an everyday emphasis for 15 minutes. Because the drill has dozens of features to it, the drill can be changed for specific teaching each day. Flare screens, cross screens and down screens can be added for game preparation purposes. Every third day, Gottfried works on "Annie Over" and power lay-ins. This drill is a conditioner and demands good concentration. A toughness drill involves two players attempting to rebound the same ball and finish. This drill progresses to 2-on-2, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 with blocking out the focus. Gottfried shares a favorite shooting drill that is simple and produces lots of shots. This DVD presents an excellent mixture of belief systems, practice structure and practice ideas and drills!

He stresses that the on ball screen poses several difficult obstacles for the defense and has become a huge trends over the past few years.
