Description
Coach shoots from the perimeter. Pairs in the paint engage contact. Defense must hold the box before pursuing.
The constraint
Defense scores 1 for every box-out that holds 1 second; offense scores 1 for offensive board.
CLA principle
Behavior-specific reward — contact, not just possession.
Coaching points
- Hit first, find ball second.
- Low hips, wide base.
Common mistakes
- Watching the shot.
