Tim Springer

a) Cone line to attack elbows

Put a line of 3 or more cones on each sideline, go through with a one-dribble to change-of-direction pattern, turn the corner at the last cone, attack the elbow with a change of direction into a layup, repeat on the other side. Layup angles are glass, front of the rim, and reverse layup.

A cone line can also be used for inside-out moves or a weave with one hand (right or left).

c) Fast break attack moves

Drive hard to the elbow with attack moves (hesitation, stutter step, change of direction, pull-up jumper), return to halfcourt using zig-zag cones on the other side.

Zig-zag cones or a cone line can be put in the middle of the floor, go through the cones then score at the basket.
