During the off season I think it's a great time to look at how you can make your practices better. One thing that I have been looking at for the upcoming year is how to work on closeouts and rotations. Making 3 defenders guard 4 offensive players forces player to communicate and make decisions based on what they are reading on the court. When doing odd number drills it forces the weak side defender to make these reads. Also very important that whoever is on the ball keeps that man from getting to the basket or allows him to make an easy direct line pass.
This is not a drill that I would want to do every day in practice, but it can make your defense better for sure. This also goes along very well with my favorite Hubie Brown quote "Mismatches don't beat us, but open shots will"
