Two-man close-out
 | 1 Rick Pitino 5-Star Basketball Drills 2 under the basket passes to 1 then closes out with a hand up to distract/block 1's shot (do not run by the shooter). 1 catches the ball square to the basket with knees bent and hands ready, shoots (a one-piece shot). 1 rebounds, passes to 2 in the corner and closes out. Repeat from different positions. Progressions - the shooter makes a shot fake then a one-dribble pull-up left, right (be "ball-quick") - jab step, shoot - jab step, one-dribble pull-up. (Variations) - 2 does not try to block the shot but give the shooter a realistic feel for how much time he has to shoot, and to get good arc on the shot - shoot for 30 seconds at each spot - continue until one person makes 5 shots, rotate to the next spot.
