4v4 Baseline Help Rotation

4v4 shell drill that trains help defense and rotations when the corner defender is beaten on a baseline drive.

Instructions

1. Start in a 4-out shell setup.
2. Move the ball around the perimeter. Defenders adjust with each pass.
3. When the ball reaches the corner, the on-ball defender gets beaten on purpose.
4. The lowest defender provides help. The other defenders rotate behind the help.

Coaching Points

• Move with the ball as it changes sides.
• Maintain correct on-ball, denial, and help-side positioning.
• Stop the drive outside the paint.
• Float between the remaining offensive players during the rotation.
• Communicate early and clearly: “help,” “I go,” and related calls.
