The Practice Lab Drop 2.0 & Attacking “Hedge & Plug”
More Ideas to Steal, Shape, and Bring to the Floor This week inside SGTV, we’ve added another round of Practice Lab videos, with new installments on 🔒 Ready Ups, 🔒 Ballhandling, 🔒 Finishing, 🔒 Variable Shooting, and 🔒 Games.

Introducing the Practice Lab!
A new SG+ space led by Drew Dunlop, built to help coaches connect concepts to the court. Coaching is a craft. And every craftsman needs a workshop. That is the idea behind The Practice Lab, a new SG+ workshop led by Drew Dunlop and now available for members on SGTV. The Practice Lab is a place for coaches to think, tinker, and take something back to their next session. The goal is not to hand coaches a script.
