More 5-Star Basketball Drills

X2 is initially in a deny (or gap) position on 2, X3 is in a help position on 3.

When one coach passes to the other, X3 sprints to deny or gap on 3, X2 runs into the lane as a help defender.

If coach passes to O3, he can drive, and the drill is 2 on 2. X3 forces baseline, X2 helps. Can continue the drill with ball reversal.
 
Basketball New South Wales - the drill is live when the ball has been reversed twice and gets to a wing, the two coaches step out.

Variations

- replace coaches with players, rotate passers to attackers to defenders then off
- live 2 on 2 only on a skip pass to an attacker (Huggins sprint to help), otherwise attackers pass or drive and pass
- attackers stay on their side, space on dribble penetration for a kick-out pass (2 on 2 close-outs, Villanova 2 on 2 whack-out)
- the weakside defender helps on baseline penetration, does not help on a drive to the middle (no middle means no middle).
