THOUGHTS FROM JEFF RUTTER


These are some more thoughts and ideas taken from the Central Iowa Coaches Clinic in 2007. These are from Coach Jeff Rutter and assistant mens coach at iowa State University.


Toughness Drills and Defensive Concepts

Just defending the basketball is really, really hard. Drake is effective because they play differently and avoid many of those man to man defensive situations.

Skill development at ISU
Thoughts—Help you win due to constant improvement of the individual and team. Also, it helps from a recruiting standpoint.

WHEN?—In-season? Before or after practice? Must make this decision.
What time do you take from out of practice time? Great story about Ryan Paulson at UNI. Took 500-600 shots with the Shoot-A-Way every morning as a walk on player. He worked and worked and worked. Finally he gained the trust of the head coach and he became a guy who came off the bench to get open shots. They actually designed plays for him. Put him in, took 3 shots, and went out.
HOW?—T & T is time and technique.
Create environment in their program where their guys are kind of addicted to these workouts. Players do not understand how much time it takes to develop skills.

Drills
You’re missing something is you are not doing 2 ball drills for ball handling.
Pounders—pound the ball into the ground, high and low with exaggerated dribbles. Low is at the knee, pounding the ball.
High/Low
Push/Pulls
Texas Jack 2 ball ballhandling—
Three parts:
Pound, pound, cross, then pound, cross, then cross, cross, cross.
Same pattern but with pound & Cross one in front, one behind,
Through the legs.

Commando drill—Start on baseline and go full court, two players, two balls. Jump stop with reverse pivot dribbling both balls. Do it six times. Can mix in dribble move (hesitate or 2 ball cross) between jump stops.
Utah drill—Step slide while pounding ball up and down the lane line, both facing inside and outside of the floor.

Attack Series—Start at half court, take at two chairs, cross over at first chair and cross over at second chair, then drive and score. From baseline, attack the chair (at top of key) and drive it to half court.
Half court chairs—4 chairs in diamond set between half court and top of key. (Chairs are tight). Three moves, then explode to jumper at right elbow.
Full court chairs

Offensive Toughners

One-on-one Sureness- stationary one on one, using steps, pivot, eyes up. McDermott uses “rim, post, action.” See the rim, check the post, and see the action.
Partner 2 on 0 passing—catch, square, control the neutral zone, shot fake, pound the ball twice, jump stop, pass to partner. Skip Shaefbauer example—over emphasize the square up. “Chin music” if they get too close. “Pollard.”
3 on 0 Sureness—no defense. Three guys working together with motion concepts.
3 Man pressure passing—Most coaches run this drill. Pass without deflections.
2 vs. 1 Sideline to Sideline—Boundary’s are endline and half court. Use the Utah move in this drill. Offense’s goal is to get from one sideline to the other sideline.
2 on 2 “No Walk”—Confined area about 20 x 20 feet, offense must make 5 successful catches with out a turnover. Offense gets 2 dribble maximum. Box is inside the volleyball lines.
4 on 4 in half court—Offense cannot dribble, shoot lay ups. 1 point per pass and catch. 3 for foul on shot. 5 points for lay-up. Play to 25. Lose possession on turnover and give ball to the defense.

Shooting drills

1. Partner
2. 3 man-2 ball shooting
3. 45 shot drill is 5 minutes. 3 areas. Make three, move back, make three, move back to three. 75 shot drill is making 5 at each location.
4. “In a Rows” or 25 straight. 144 is the record.
5. Cyclone One-minute shooting—it is possible to get 12 attempts in a minute.
