Coach shoots from the wing. Defender boxes out the offensive player (find them, hit them, hold them, find the ball). Offence tries to crash and get an offensive board.
The most under-coached, most game-winning skill in basketball.
• Find your man first, ball second — turn and locate
• Make contact — hip into hip, low base
• Hold the position with arms wide, don't reach for the ball
• Find the ball with your eyes only when you've got the box
• Two-handed catch on the rebound, chin it strong
Two offence vs two defence. Coach calls 'crash' or 'transition' — defender must read whether to box or run. Add a free throw situation — formal box-out spots.
