Welcome to Week 2! Today’s drop is all about sharpening execution when the game speeds up. From a simple but effective BLOB action vs. a 2–3 zone, to a guard-finishing drill that builds confidence at the rim, we’re giving you tools you can apply right away. We also close with a mental edge piece focused on staying locked in during long tournament days, when focus matters most.
Play: Baseline Out-of-Bounds vs. 2–3 Zone
Baseline inbound situations against a zone often come down to deception and timing. This week’s featured BLOB gives you a simple, effective way to free up a big while shifting the defense’s attention.
By sending your best shooter to the ball-side corner as a decoy, the zone flattens and exposes the interior. The result is a clean, high-percentage opportunity for your big exactly when execution matters most.
Drill: Guard Finishes
This week’s drill gives your guards multiple ways to finish at the rim. These variations expand their toolkit, making them tougher to guard and more unpredictable in the lane. Simple, purposeful reps that build confidence, creativity, and versatility.
Mental: Staying Focused During Tournament Days
Tournament days demand as much mental sharpness as physical effort. This guide offers practical, coach-approved strategies to help your players stay locked in from the first game to the last—no matter the fatigue, noise, or pressure.
