Most shooting drills or shooting stations that are set up, are just that. Your players practicing their shot, maybe with another player or coach passing them the ball and maybe that coach or player, acting as the defender, will come out and put a hand up for the player to shoot over.

Instead of using a player, use Mr-D II or Mr-D to simulate a defender for a game-like scenario. Why use Mr-D II or Mr-D instead of a player? If you use a player as a defender, the player acting as a defender is getting nothing out of this drill - wasted practice time. With Mr-D II or Mr-D, now you can get this player who was acting as the defender some quality practice time by putting him/her in another drill and making better use of practice time with all players.

Instead of using a coach as a defender, use Mr-D II or Mr-D to simulate the defender. You or your coaches can now focus and concentrate on watching the shooter and his/her form and technique and provide better teaching and coaching to your team and players to help improve their shooting.

Or just set Mr-D II or Mr-D up at a shooting station and your players can practice shooting over a defender just like in a game either from the perimeter or in the post where they can work on their post moves.  What a great tool to use at your camps, clinics and workouts.  Set two or three Mr-D II's or Mr-D's at your shooting station and two or three Mr- D II's or Mr-D's at your big men station.

Three other very important items that Mr-D II or Mr-D can help with are:

1. Arc - By practicing with Mr-D II or Mr-D (forcing your players to shoot over a defender) your team and players will be in the habit of putting the proper arc on their shot which is very important "the better your arc the bigger the basket"

2. Elevation - Getting proper elevation on your players shot over a defender is crucial and by practicing with Mr-D II or Mr-D, it forces them to do this more consistently and trains leg muscles with muscle memory just like shooting technique does with your arms.

3. Vision Training - This is not talked about a lot, but is very important. Just like your muscles get trained to react and create muscle memory once you have practiced your shooting form and technique over and over, you need to do the same thing with your vision. By practicing with Mr-D II or Mr-D as a defender as much as possible, you have now trained your vision to react and focus automatically when there is a defender on you just like in game situations. (See My 50-75-100 rule)

Mr-D II or Mr-D can be moved around quickly and easily to any part of the court or practice facility in order to keep your practice moving. Adjust the height on Mr-D II or Mr-D to simulate shooting over a guard, forward, or center - from 4' 11" up to 7'1", in 2 inch increments.

I would highly encourage you to use Mr-D II or Mr-D in your pre-game warm-up also. Again, "the more and better you can simulate game situations when practicing, the better your opportunity to be successful in those game situations come game time."

You can use Mr-D II or Mr-D in a variety of ways. Out on the perimeter for shooting drills and instruction or set up Mr-D II or Mr-D in the post for your post players to work on their moves.  You can even use Mr-D II or Mr-D in ball-handling drills, passing drills or  as a screener in your shooting drills. Your creativity is your only limitation. So put the chairs away and put the brooms back in the closest.
