Setup
Driver starts on the wing, a shot blocker (coach or player with a pad) starts on the opposite block. The blocker slides across on the drive.
How it runs
- Driver attacks the baseline toward the rim.
- Blocker slides across to meet the driver on the near side of the rim.
- Driver keeps going under the basket and finishes on the far side, using the rim to shield the ball.
- Driver uses the hand farthest from the blocker.
- Switch to the other side after five reps.
Coaching point
Carry momentum under the rim so the blocker has to turn to follow you.
