Beyond experience, coaches can help their players recognize the cues to read. Did someone stop the ball? Where is the second defender? Who is the better finisher? When players have more confidence handling the ball and pay attention to the right things, they make better decisions. As they gain experience and attend to the right cues, they learn to anticipate, and their anticipation quickens their decision-making process.
With young or inexperienced players, I stress to them that an aggressive decision, even if it is the wrong decision, is often better than a hesitant decision. I do not want the player consciously thinking about what move to make - I want him to go. If he makes the wrong decision, we can discuss it after the fact and figure out what led to the wrong decision. What did he see? What did he miss? What did I see differently from the sideline?

Again, this leads to more mistakes than a typical 3v2 drill where three players attack in a straight line against two defenders standing in the key waiting for them. But, the practice mistakes provide learning experiences. Coaches say that they prefer to play a tough team early in the season and lose the game but have their mistakes exposed early so they can fix them rather than playing a bunch of overmatched teams who fail to expose the team’s flaws. This is the same idea with the practice situations.
The drills that have more contextual interference expose weaknesses or flaws and cause more mistakes in practice, while practices with less contextual interference are like playing gimme games in the preseason and piling up a good record only to be exposed in the tough games in league.
I prefer situations which cause lots of mistakes in practice and provide plenty of learning experiences so players are prepared for different situations - good and bad, planned and unplanned - in the game when performance counts....
Che ne pensate di questo esercizio di passaggio?

se passo al compagno in diagonale (a due passaggi di distanza) vado nella fila orizzontale/verticale.

"Anticipatory Skills and Reading the Game"

A prescriptive approach is explicit: coaches give exact directions. A prescriptive drill would be the zig-zag drill that I dislike, as the coach sets the exact parameters: the offense takes three dribbles and then changes direction all the way down the court. This improves performance in the drill, as the defender knows when the offensive player will change directions and can anticipate the change, but the drill limits the player’s development of his own anticipatory skills. The player does not read the offensive player because he simply follows directions. There is no implicit learning, as the player effectively shuts down his perceptual awareness.

Coaches believe that it is their job to teach, and we feel this type of positioning is teaching. We have a very teacher-centered education system that supposes that a teacher/coach’s role is to “fill up” the student/player with knowledge. Instead, educate comes from root words that mean “to bring forth.” Real teaching assists a player with the development of flexible and adaptive knowledge systems so players can read the play, anticipate and make their own decisions. Of course, the learning of these skills is error-prone, while a prescriptive approach often has better short-term results.

For instance, when learning to defend a player 1v1, the defender needs to read the offensive player’s cues. In a game, this situation changes frequently; there is no way to prepare for every possible scenario, so players need adaptive knowledge so they can perform in a variety of contexts. A common instruction is for players to watch the defender’s belly button, as you cannot go anywhere without the middle of your body. However, this instruction is designed to prevent a player from going for a fake; does it enable a defender to anticipate the offensive player’s movement? Soccer studies have shown that experts alternate their gaze between the hip and the ball-foot regions (Williams, Janelle & Davids, 2004) and speculated that the hip region acts as an important information cue by signaling the opponent’s intended direction of movement.
