Billy Donovan

Make 5 layups on 5 trips in 35 seconds, everyone shoots.

To start play, coach scores while five players are jogging in a circle.

Paul Hewitt - putback any miss.

Ian MacKinnon - all players start in the lane, 4 shoots off the backboard and catches. 4 always rebounds, make or miss.
 
Bob Hurley - coach throws the ball to start, rebound and outlet to 1, score on every trip (putback any miss), the first big inbounds to 1, make 3 out of 5 shots in 35 seconds (try for 4 makes, two shots are layups).

4 takes the ball out of the net, clears the backboard and inbounds to 1 with his back to the sideline. 2 runs wide right, 3 runs wide left, 5 runs to the centre of the rim for a post-up.

1 passes to 2 for a layup. The ball can't hit the floor after a score. If 4 is not yet in position, 5 will take the ball out of the net and hand it to 4.
 
Bob Hurley - 1 takes a foul-line jump shot.

Coming back, 1 passes cross-court to 3 for the layup.
 
Bob Hurley - in two trips, wings 2 and 3 have to take a jump shot and layup, in either order.

On the next trip, 1 headmans to 2 who passes into 5 posting up.

Then 4 sets a wide pin-down screen for 3, and rolls to the basket for a pass.

Paul Hewitt - 1 passes to 4 for a trail 3-point shot.

Ian MacKinnon - 1 passes to 2 who skip passes to 3, 4 dives for a pass.
 
Bob Hurley - 1 leads the first big who finishes strong with a driving layup.

On the last trip, 4 sets a ballscreen for 1 in the middle of the floor (4 picks and pops, 5 stays, if X5 helps on 1, look for a high-low pass to 5).

Paul Hewitt - 1 drives the elbow for a shot.
 
Bob Hurley - the other big is the trailer on the last trip, throw back to him for a jump shot (1 headmans to a wing).

See Shooting - Tennessee 4-man break.

Ian MacKinnon - 1 passes to 2 and UCLA cuts using a screen by 5. All shots are layups, one shot only, 40 seconds, 5 push-ups for each miss. Progression - perimeter shots in 60 seconds, crunches for misses:

- 1 passes to 2 who drives and kicks to 3
- 1 passes to 3, drive and kick to 2
- 1 passes to 2, drive and kick to 5
- 1 passes to 2 who skips it to 3, 4 dives and posts, 3 drives and kicks to 4
- 1 passes to 2 then bumps and fades off 5's UCLA screen for a pass.

Two teams can compete, going cross-court at the same time.

A series for kids (with spacing on penetration) can be:

- 1 drives for a layup
- 1 to 2 for a layup
- 1 to 4 to 3 for a layup
- 1 to 4 for a layup
- 1 to 5 at the rim (or 1 to 2 to 5).

Optionally repeat and finish with a drive and kick each time, this can be freelance or scripted, e.g., 1 to 2 who drives baseline and hits 3 drifting to the weakside corner.

For a series that combines motion with drive and kick, have 1 pass to 2 and cut to the weakside corner, then 2 drives baseline or middle for a layup or for a kick-out to 1, 3, 4, or 5, repeat until all players have shot.

Or have 1 reverse the ball to 4, who passes to 3 and cuts through, then 3 drives middle or baseline (with an open post).

See Offence - Calipari dribble-drive.

Dribble-drive sequences can also be done, e.g.,

- 1-4 kickback, 4-2 kickup
- 1-2 kickup, 2-4 kickback
- 1-2 kickup, 2-3 kickup.

See Shooting - Dribble-drive.
