Defender X1 is on the foul line, other defenders are in a line under the basket. When the ball is passed to a coach on either wing, X1 closes out.

When the ball is skipped to the other wing, X2 closes out and X1 drops to a help position.

X3 closes out on the next skip pass, X2 drops to a help position, and X1 goes off. Continue.

(Variation) - reverse the ball through the top, see Defending - Vegas closeouts.

Jr. NBA 2-person closeout drill - the ball is passed between two guard spots (slots), i.e. not skip passes.

See Defending - Continuous closeouts, Hollins skip passes, Jr. NBA - Defence (2-person closeout).
