In this defensive segment, Coach Marshall introduces the cone closeout drill, teaching players how to adjust their stance, distance, and intensity based on personnel. Using a color-coded system (green = shooter, yellow = versatile, red = driver), players learn to recognize threats and close out accordingly—with high hands, choppy feet, and disciplined positioning. This drill builds awareness, communication, and game-like decision-making, ensuring athletes not only execute the fundamentals of closeouts but also think critically about matchups.
