Instructions
- 1Continuous circular rotation: CB → PV → LB → LW → PV → RB → RW
- 2Pivot always touches ball between wing passes
- 3Each pass takes exactly 0.3 seconds for rhythm
- 4Wings move into open space as rotation progresses
- 5After full circle rotation, final player shoots
- 6Defense cannot keep up with ball speed
- 7Key: Constant motion and quick hands
Coaching Points
- Everyone moves simultaneously with the ball — standing still kills the wheel's momentum
- PV acts as the hub: receive, release, and shift position immediately after each touch
- The final shooter must recognize when they are open and call for the ball early
- Pass tempo must be consistent — one slow pass gives the defense time to recover
- Wings relocate to the next open space before they receive, not after
