 A two-on-one basketball game that shows you how to coach and teach basketball players to play aggressive man-to-man defense

Here is a simple game that will help you teach aggressive basketball man-to-man defense. It is called "Basketball Cut-Throat Game to 21". Playing this game was great fun when we played it 75 years ago in the barnyard back in Indiana and I'm sure kids will love it today. This is how we learned to play aggressive basketball man-to-man defense.

 

Cut-throat 21 basketball game

The purpose of this drill is to teach shooting under pressure, and to encourage aggressiveness. You play the game this way:

  1. One offensive player is matched against two defenders.
  2. Game starts with 1 in possession of the ball.
  3. When 1 gets a shot off, all three players go after the rebound.
  4. If 1's shot attempt is successful, he shoots free throws. On missed free throws all three players scramble for the ball.
  5. If the shooter makes three free throws in a row, he starts at the original offensive position.
  6. Player who recovers a missed shot then becomes the offensive player.
  7. Successful shot attempts count either 3 or 2 points according from where attempted, free throws count 1 point, and first player to reach 21 is the winner.
