Also see Shooting - Billy Donovan using screens, Billy Donovan drive and kick.

a) Shoot and follow

1 makes a good crisp pass and follows. 2 catches with knees bent, hands ready, fingers pointed up, catches and shoots in one smooth motion. 2 rebounds his shot and passes to 1 who shoots. Continue alternating until one person makes five shots, rotate to the next spot, repeat for all seven spots.

Progressions
- follow to contest - 1 passes, runs out with one hand up, yells "shot", he is not trying to block the shot but give the shooter a realistic feel for how much time he has to shoot
- follow to contest, shot fake - 2 makes a good shot fake, drives by body to body, takes one or two dribbles and shoots.

d) Dribble series

1 dribbles from halfcourt at game speed, drops his weight down and shoots a pull-up jump shot (15 feet or behind the arc). 2 rebounds and passes to 1 at halfcourt on the other side, repeat. Begin dribbling with the right hand on the right, left hand on the left, use speed dribble, change of pace, inside-out, hard stutter, and inside-out crossover.

When shooting off the dribble, make the last dribble hard and high to help you move directly into your shot.
