End of practice, tied 50-50, first team to sixty: 1 steps to the line with 2 and 3 rebounding at the blocks and the line waiting on the lane line, and shoots the first of a one-and-one with his full routine, because tired is the point and the routine is what survives it.
The first one drops, so 2 steps under the rim to take it out of the net; the rebounders stay quiet and still during the routine, because a teammate shuffling at the block is a distraction the shooter will not get in a game either way.
The ball comes out of the net to 2 and 1 holds his spot at the line, because a made first shot earns the second and the shooter resets to the same routine rather than rushing the bonus.
2 returns the ball to 1 at the line crisply, no talking, so the shooter can get into his routine again without waiting or chasing the ball.
1 shoots the second: same feet, same dribble, same breath, eyes on the target, which is why the drill scores each make separately; the second free throw is the one tired players shortcut.
Second one good, 52-50. 3 goes under the rim for the ball while the line gets ready, because the next shooter steps up the instant the ball is collected, otherwise the drill loses the tired-legs rhythm it was built for.
The ball comes out to 3, 1 jogs to the back of the line, and 4 steps to the line, so the rotation is continuous and nobody stands at midcourt watching.
3 passes to 4 at the line and the two rebounders reset at the blocks; the point is that every player on the team shoots with the score on the line, not just the ones who shoot well.
4 shoots his first with the full routine; the first team to sixty wins and the losers run, but a loser who made all his free throws is excused, because the drill rewards the individual shooter even when his team loses.
