 Chris Bown
|
A former assistant with the Seattle Storm and now coaching at Lakeside and the NW HoopGurlz, Chris Bown has made his mark with individual player development. His latest The Drill column outlines a drill to improve catching, then dribbling into a shot. | |||
|
Required: One player, one coach and two or three basketballs.  The player starts in the corner outside the three-point line. Coach passes the ball to player. Player catches the ball on two feet with legs ready and dribble drives past her “defender” into a jump shot inside the arc. Once the player shoots, she backpedals outside the three-point line until the coach has retrieved the ball and passes it back to the player. This continues until the player goes around the arc to the opposite corner.
Variations: Coach can get the rebound and pass to the player and actually close out on the player, simulating defense. Chris Bown is the head coach with the Lakeside girls' varsity basketball team and a coach of the Northwest HoopGurlz select girls team. He recently was an assistant coach in charge of player development for the WNBA Seattle Storm. Chris also does individual training and can be reached at 206-794-9046 or cbown03@yahoo.com. A graduate of the University of Washington, he has been the head coach for girls varsity basketball teams at Holy Names Academy, Seattle Academy and American Indian Heritage School. This is his second stint at Lakeside as an assistant to Sandy Schneider. Chris also has been a math and physical education instructor at St. Paul School and Seattle Academy.
