Defensive Footwork: Mirror Defense Drill

by Brian McCormick on November 3, 2009

I write about (and use) the Mirror Defensive Drill frequently and did not realize that I did not have a video linked anywhere. Here is a video of Michael Reid working with a Swedish team.

Rather than have players stand in line, to end the drill, I toss the ball toward the other end for the players to chase; whoever gets the ball is on offense going to the other basket. Keeps the drill moving a little better.

What does the use of the hands do? Is it mostly for balance or does it also allow to fake out the other player? I saw that some players used it for balance and one kept his hands moving more quickly and in little circular motions. Can you explain?
