Progression - 2 on 2 (see Villanova 2 on 2 whack-out, Duke two-man contesting wide, 2 on 2 shell). a) Close-out from gap Coach has two balls, passes to 1, X1 closes out. Alternate sides, coach will then pass to 2, X2 closes out. Options - the first pass to 1 is a shell drill, X1 closes out, then 1 passes back to coach - stunt and recover if coach drives. See 1 on 1 - Tom Crean 3-minute (X1 has one foot in the lane), Defending - 1 on 1 stops, Duke driving line, Boone, Rudez. |
 | 2 b) Contesting 1 has to get open for a pass (option - within five seconds), can v-cut, L-cut, drag the arc to the corner, or blast cut from the corner.

Ian MacKinnon - the attacker gets 1 point for a catch with one foot in the paint, 2 points for a backdoor catch, 1 point for a basket, can pass back to the passer once, and is limited to three dribbles and one shot. Players rotate as the passer. Ray Lokar - the attacker can pass back out to coach, play to a stop or score. |
 | 3 c) Jump to the ball 1 and 2 have balls. 1 passes to coach then backcuts or face cuts (if X1 does not jump to the ball). If there is no pass and 1 comes back out to the wing, have X1 gap or deny. Option - the first pass to coach is a shell, X1 jumps to the ball in a deny or gap position, coach passes back to 1. See 1 on 1 - 1 on 0, 1 on 1, Ganon Baker give and go, Defending - 1 on 1 with passers, Pasquali denial, Pasquali closeouts (coach drives and kicks to 1, X1 stunts and recovers), Villanova jump to the ball. |
