How to Create Shots for Good Shooters

Question—
We run a lot of cutting/screening drills in practice but we can’t get
open shots in the game. We have smart guys and they are good
shooters. What is your advice on getting open for more open shots?

How Can I Create a Winning Culture as a New Coach?

Thanks for the question Seth.
This would be a great question for the CCN Community because many of them have taken over new programs.

Trapping out of 1-3-1

Tommy,
The 1-3-1 is a great change from man to man, especially out of a timeout or dead ball.
I think you should "invite the ball to the corners and trap hard then. I think trapping out on the floor gives the player with the ball too much vision of the floor and passing options. In the corner it becomes a tough play.
On the corner trap, rotate from the weak side to front the post and take away the return pass. The only option will be a long skip pass which will give you time to recover, closeout, and get your defense set.
Hope that helps,

RB
