Partner reaction
 | 1 John Leonzo YouTube Two players, read partner and react to shoot or drive. a) Warm-up Each player takes 3 shots from 5 spots (corner, wing, top of the key, wing, corner), one player take 3 shots from a corner, switches with the rebounder, then they move to the next spot. Rebounder 2 passes to shooter 1 then either puts his hands behind his back, which triggers a shot by 1, or puts his hands up overhead, which triggers a drive by 1. Here 2 puts his hands up, 1 drives. 2 can follow his pass to close out. |
 | 2 1 goes back for a pass, this time 2's hands are behind his back and 1 shoots. Continue until each player has taken 15 total shots. (Variation - 5 shots from each spot) See YouTube video - Partner decision shooting warmup. Also see Dribbling - Chair drill, Shooting - Pasquali reaction, Drive-and-kick. |
 | 3 b) Drive and kick Coach passes to 1, who drives and kicks to 2, then puts his hands up and 2 drives, or puts his hands behind his back and 2 shoots (shown). Leonzo's rule of thumb is that the ball pushes you away if driven toward you (shown); if dribbled away from you, fill behind. Coach gets off the floor. (Variations) - start with 1 passing to 2 then getting a return pass, see below - rotate behind a drive towards you (Euro cut). |
 | 4 2 rebounds, passes to 1 and exits for a return pass. |
 | 5 Now 2 drives and kicks to 1, who reads the drive and whether 2 puts his hands behind his back (1 shoots) or overhead (1 drives, shown). 1 rebounds, will pass to 2, get a return pass, continue. Compete for makes. See YouTube video - Dribble reaction shooting.  |
