| 3 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).
