About this play
Tempo, pass-ahead habits, and conditioning in one timed, countable block. Why it works: the clock and the target make the pace honest, and the only way to hit twenty-eight is to outlet before the rebounder lands, pass ahead instead of dribbling, and turn the cone at full speed. Setup: two rebounding lines, one under each basket, two outlet lines on the left sideline at the free-throw line extended, two cones at the right-side three-point lines, two balls. The rebounder outlets to the player sprinting in from the sideline, who dribbles to the middle and passes ahead to the right-lane runner for the layup. The far rebounder snatches it out of the net and outlets the other way while the first passer circles the cone and sprints back for the layup at the first basket. Shooter joins the rebounding line, rebounder joins the outlet line. Two minutes, goal twenty-eight made layups. Common mistakes: outlets thrown over the receiver's head, the cone turn rounded too wide, and the rebounder waiting for the ball to drop. Progression: left-handed finishes with the cones on the left. High school. I learned the Speed drill from Coach's Clipboard's full-court transition drills page and Fred Hoiberg's clinic on Championship Productions; give them a look for the drills that pair with it.
