Watch as Coach explains, and players demonstrate the 5-Second Drill. The objective of this defensive 30-second timed drill is to get a 5-second call on the ball hander. The box area for the offensive player is the sideline to the midline all the way to the 3-point line. The defender must stay in front of the offensive player and close the gap if there is separation. The goal is to speed up the offense and create turnovers.
