Description
Live 5v5 starting from a coach entry. Defense forces baseline on all drives. Offense plays freely but adapts to the wall.
The constraint
Defense ICEs every ball-screen and forces every drive baseline. Offense must score sideline.
CLA principle
Strict tactical constraints surface the principles of sideline help and the nail.
Coaching points
- Tag the roller from the nail.
- Offense — keep the ball off the sideline trap.
Common mistakes
- Help defenders flying out of position without a tag.
