OFTEN USED WITH...

Give and go:

Player 1 makes a pass to player 2 before sprinting to receive the pass back from player 2. Player 1 then has a shot.

Shooting

Three man switch to shoot and score:

Player 1 starts with the ball in the middle of the court and plays the ball to player 2 who cuts in to the first cone.

Player 2 must then pass to player 3 who has also made a run inside to the other cone further up the court.

Player 1 in the meantime should loop on the outside behind player 2 to receive the ball back from player 3 and take a shot.

Shooting

V Cut then lay up from the baseline:

Player on the baseline is a cutter and player on the top is a passer.

The cutter runs towards the key until one foot is inside the key then they change direction and move towards the ball. When they are free they must signal for the ball with their outside hand.

Once they receive the ball they can then square up towards the basket and go for a shot or drive for a lay up.
