Bull in the Ring Drill

Defender starts between the offensive crasher and a loose basketball placed on the block; on the shot call, the defender initiates contact, establishes a low base, and uses their hips and butt to seal the crasher away from the ball for a 4-second count.

Key points

  • Initiate contact immediately on the shot call rather than waiting for the offensive player to move
  • Drop hips low and maintain a wide base to prevent getting pushed under the basket
  • Keep hands active and held high to avoid grabbing or holding fouls

Common mistakes

Standing too upright or dancing tentatively instead of delivering the first legal hit to establish position.
