Setting ball down

• Layups can only be with the weaker han
• Everyone must touch the ball before a shot is allowed
• Don't allow them to dribble...passes only

A couple of years back, a HS GV team I was involved with played my alma mater, whose team was not very strong. The second time we played them, coach put in some similar restrictions for the second half:
* 10 passes before shooting -- We still scored at will, which led to:
* Layup attempts only
* And on defense, all players had to stay inside the 3 point arc.

We still won big, and shot 9 for 11 in the second half (1 missed layup and a missed 3-pointer), but at least we didn't rub it in, so to speak.
