2 attacks 1 with a limit of two dribbles. Key to defending is don't play where the attacker is, play where he is going to be (e.g., drop step directly baseline to cut him off).

When coach yells "stop" or "go", 2 immediately closes out on next attacker 3 who gets a pass from coach (rotate attacker to defender). 1 passes the first ball to coach. If 3 is a post player he will start closer to the basket, or post up. Attackers need to be ready to shoot off the pass - load the gun.

Variation - coach passes from the wing, attackers are out top.
