Decision Making

(Armando Gómez)

Lots of great content on decision-making drills (we need more of this).

The video is in Spanish however you still can get a good idea of how the drills work and translate to in-game decision-making situations.

Here’s one drill from the video I often use (it can be modified, without cones, off the dribble, pass, etc).

Quick Explanation – Drill #1

  • Offense starts with the ball
  • Defense touches a cone
  • Offense reads and reacts to the defender
  • Drives to basket in between cones

Quick Explanation – Drill #2

  • Drill #1 with added help defender (#2)
  • Defender #2 starts in the key
  • Defender #2 runs around the cone after Defender #1 (top) moves to touch the cone
