Watch as Coach Tony DiClemente explains, and players demonstrate this defensive 1-on-1 turns drill. This is a 45-second timed drill in which the defender's main objective is to make the ball handler turn as many times as possible and the offensive player is working to just beat the defender down the court. The defender's focus should be turning and sprinting to force the offensive player to turn. Sliding does not apply enough defensive pressure.
