a)

Start under one basket, drive straight to the other basket for a layup in 4-5 dribbles, repeat coming back, continue for 6-8 or 8-10 trips or makes. Push the ball out in front.

b) With defenders

To beat pressure in the backcourt, use an inside-out, crossover or behind-the-back move. Don't go through the legs, or spin (can't see up the floor, and doesn't cover as much ground).

Three players, each with a ball. 1 makes a backcourt move at 2, a crossover move at 3, and finishes with a runner off one foot using the glass.

3 and 1 exchange. Coming back, finish with a reverse layup (either hand), cut off a defender to get him on your back.

2 is next, going away.

c) Handling pressure

1 gets an inbounds pass at the outlet area, turns to look up the court, breaks on-ball pressure with a jab or ball fake outside, goes middle, makes an inside-out, crossover, or behind the back move at coach, then finishes with a spin layup on the other side of the rim (cradle the ball with both hands). Use 5-6 dribbles total.

1 wants to get the ball to the middle of the floor, the defender would try to force sideline. For a right-hander, jab or shake (ball rip) right, shake left.

All players go up, repeat coming back.
