Stops & pivots
 | 1 Players are in lines on the baseline, each with a ball. On "go" the first group dribbles upcourt, on "stop" they jump stop and dribble on the spot, on "go" they again dribble upcourt and the next group starts from the baseline. Change the dribbling hand on the way back (or go up and back then change). Bill Pangos - Starts and stops dribble - each player is static dribbling (on the spot), the first group dribbles forward on a whistle, stops on a second whistle (continue dribbling), the first and second groups dribble forward on a third whistle, continue upcourt. Variations - coach uses start-stop hand signals (hand closed, hand open) - coach shows up to 10 fingers above his head, players have to count them while dribbling - stop at the foul line, halfcourt, and far foul line - after stopping, pullback dribble then dribble forward (option - pullback crossover). Harbir Bains - follow coach's hand signals, dribble forward, backward, or stop.
