How it runs
Coach passes from the top to a shooter on the wing. Defender starts with a foot in the paint, sprints to close out short and high, then plays live 1v1 to a make, a defensive stop or a rebound.
Coaching points
Sprint the first two-thirds, chop the last third. High hands. Do not leave the floor on a shot fake.
Scoring
Defense gets a point for a stop with a rebound. Offense gets a point for a score or foul. First to 3.
