Paint touch counts double

Cue

Touch the paint, look out.

Principle
Attacking is not selfish. Passing the ball on without a reason is.

Set-up

Half court, 3-on-3.

Rules

A paint touch is a drive or pass into the paint. After it the ball may go out (kick-out) for a good shot.

Scoring

Score after a paint touch = 3. Score without = 1. A contested throw does not count.

How do you coach it?

Intensity, emotion and consequence. The coach protects the rules and stops play as little as possible.

Long explanations and technical correction during play do not belong here.

Drive and kick; attacking is not selfish

Easier

Every drive towards the paint counts as a touch.

Harder

At most three dribbles per player.

Question to observe

Is the ball passed on without a reason, or does someone attack?
