1 dribbles from the right wing with the right hand, outside the arc to start, so the approach is long enough to reach game speed, and the dribbling hand matches the layup hand.

Right-hand layup off the left foot, outside-inside footwork, high off the glass; the point is a finish at full speed, because a layup practiced at a jog is a layup missed in a game.

2 steps in from the rebounding line and catches the make out of the net before it hits the floor, while 3 moves up to the front of the shooting line, so the drill never has a dead second.

The ball is 2's: he chins it and turns to find the next shooter, and 3 is already cutting toward the rim with his hand up, because the next shooter never waits for the rebounder to look.

2 throws a bounce pass to the cutter, not a chest pass, so 3 catches it low and in stride; 1 jogs to the end of the rebounding line, which is why the lines stay even.

3 takes one dribble with the right hand into the layup and 2 jogs to the end of the shooting line, because the rebounder becomes a shooter and the shooter becomes a rebounder every rep.

Right-hand layup; after a few minutes the lines swap sides for left-hand layups, and the two-minute make goal keeps everyone moving, otherwise the lines creep in and the drill turns into standing around.

Four lines outside the arc, two a side: 1 is the front of the right wing line with 2 behind him, 3, 4, and 5 head the other three. On the whistle 1 shoots the three for three points, a game shot and then go get it, because every rebound in this drill belongs to the shooter.

1 chases his shot to the rim, make or miss, so the second shot starts from a rebound and not from a standstill, which is how it happens in a game.

1 dribbles back out past the lane line to the circled spot for the two-pointer, getting balanced before he rises; the coaching point is no running jumper off a long rebound, because the wild second shot is what sinks a group's count.

1 shoots the mid-range jumper from outside the key for two points, squared and on balance, so the group has five if both have dropped.

1 rebounds again and steps inside the key to the circled spot for the one-pointer; he stays out of the lane's middle so the groups on the other side have room, because four lines sharing one rim crowd the paint fast.

1 finishes from inside the key for one point, strong and off the glass from this angle, because the short shot is the one players get careless with and a miss here is a rebound chase that costs the whole turn.

1 takes the ball out of the net and 2 steps up to the wing spot, hands ready, so the next turn starts the moment the pass arrives and the line never has a shooter waiting on a rebounder.

1 passes to 2 at the wing and the group calls its total out loud, because a group that loses count has to start the round over, and the call lets the other three lines hear who is close.

2 shoots his three while 1 joins the back of the line; the group keeps going three, two, one until it lands on exactly 31 and calls it, which is why the last few turns get careful: overshoot and the round is lost.

The two cubes are the chairs, one at each elbow extended where a down screen would be set. 1 cuts under the basket to the right block and 2, the next in line, steps to the left slot as the passer, because the cutter sets the screen up by walking his imaginary defender down first.

Read one, the curl: 1 changes pace and comes off the right chair tight, shoulder brushing it, staying low with his hands up early, so the pass can arrive the instant he clears the screen; rounding the curl wide gives the trailing defender a lane to recover.

2 passes to where 1 will be, not where he is, hitting him as he comes off the curl, because a pass thrown after the cutter arrives lets the defender catch up.

1 catches inside foot first, squares in the air, and shoots the curl jumper, the point being that the feet are set on the catch, otherwise the shot off movement becomes a shot off balance.

Rotation: 1 chases his rebound, 2 becomes the cutter and walks his defender down toward the left block, going around the outside of the left chair, and 3 steps to the right slot as the new passer, so the line keeps moving and both chairs get used.

1 outlets the rebound to 3 at the right slot and then jogs to the back of the line, because the passer always has the ball before the cutter starts his move.

Read two, the flare, the counter when the defender cheats over the top of the screen: 2 plants his inside foot above the left chair and pushes out behind it to the left wing, and 1 returns to the top of the line, so the cutter is widening away from the ball instead of curling into it.

3 throws the skip pass to 2 on the flare; a flare catch is a skip-type pass, because the ball has to travel over the screen while the shooter is still getting his feet set.

2 catches inside foot first and shoots the flare jumper; the drill runs a minute or two per read before the players start choosing, which is why it teaches reading a screen and not just running off one.
