a) From under the rim

The attacker starts under the rim with coach out top, five seconds to get open, limit of three dribbles and one shot, make-it take-it.
 
Ontario Basketball - 1 on 1 perimeter (wing) or post.
 
Canada Basketball - X1 faces the ball, optionally coach dribbles to a wing, 1 cuts out top. Variations
- X1 faces 1
- 1 starts on the foul line with X1 behind him and cuts to either wing.

See 1 on 1 - Florida finishing, Attack/defend - Pasquali 3 on 3 advantage, 2 on 2 Ontario.

For a quick-catch shooting series (without defence), cut from under the rim, e.g. curl, fade, pop (can use cones).

 
See Shooting - Downscreens, 5star downscreens, Memphis screens.

Mike Neighbors - windshield wiper shooting - start under the basket, cut to a wing for a pass and shot, rebound, pass to coach and cut to the other wing, continue for 8 shots.

b) From halfcourt

Check the ball at halfcourt, stay within the cones, limit of 3-4 dribbles and one shot, make-it take-it.

See 1 on 1 - Halfcourt containment, Transition - Calipari 11.

Variation - the ball is at the top of the key, 1 is in a sideways power (control) dribble stance, X! has his forearm on 1's shoulder with intense defensive pressure, on "go", 1 must create space and get to the ball without going outside the cones, then it's 1-on-1, one shot only.

c) Help from weakside

Both players start on the blocks, as soon as 1 starts to dribble, X1 step slides outside his cone, turns and sprints to play the weakside defender rotating over on penetration.

See 1 on 1 - Ganon Baker trail blazer, Around cones.

d) Help on a flat ballscreen

X1 step slides to the opposite block, then 1 attacks off the dribble from near the jump circle, making a dribble move at the cone (getting his defender into a flat ballscreen), and attacking the help on the ballscreen.
