He opens by discussing the need to prepare your team for anything  especially injuries to key positions.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransition Defense Drills\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoach McDermott is a strong believer in taking easy opportunities in transition away from the opposing team. He shares a couple of transition defense drills that he uses to ensure that his team doesn't give up easy baskets. These drills work on stopping the ball  loading up to the ball side  communicating  and making sure the defense coming from behind flows to the weak side. These drills always end with the defense converting to offense and coming back trying to score. \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 5-on-3 Transition Defense - Communication is key in this drill. McDermott challenges the offense to get a shot off quickly by using a 12 second shot clock.  \u0026lt; li\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 5-on-4 Transition Defense - This simulates teams that don't send their 1 and 2 to the boards. The defense focuses on double-teaming or pinching out during the box out.\u0026lt; li\u0026gt;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Circle Transition - A great drill for causing match-up issues for the defense. The unpredictable nature of this drill makes communication and purpose of action key.\u0026lt; li\u0026gt;  \u0026lt; UL\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003eOne huge emphasis that McDermott stresses with all of his drills is they must be game-like. For transition defense  disadvantage drills are useful  but simply going with the disadvantage number isn't game-like. McDermott likes to limit the number of players  but then quickly add them so they eventually match-up evenly.  \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick-Hitters Against a Zone\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoach McDermott provides seven quick-hitting plays to use against a 2-3 zone. He covers ball movement  player movement  timing  screening  and how to seal. These plays contain options for getting a specific player open  3-point shots from the top  shots from the corner  getting the ball to the high post  and generating low post opportunities. He explains that some of the plays' movements and actions are the same in order to help disguise the true intent. \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of Bounds and Late Game Set Plays\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcDermott shows a series of situational sets against zone and then a series of out of bounds plays to build efficiency out of timeouts and dead balls. \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Baseline Out of Bounds Plays - McDermott shows three plays to get great looks at the hoop.
