Is it not problematic while teaching transition defense, you also ask something against to the transition defense as "shooter touches to the baseline". I understand that is nice way to make the drill continuous but I find it as a big conflict especially for the youth levels.

Having the shooter touch puts the defense at a disadvantage forcing them to talk and scramble to get into position. With youth players gaining initial experience the baseline touch may be too much for them. Youth players may have a hard enough time with just getting back in position, stopping the ball, and matching up. Start with the most essential and gradually build from there. Best.
