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.
