Calipari one-ball
 | 1 John Calipari a) Pitch Start outside the slot (the "X"), pass to coach, run towards the other slot then downhill as he passes it back, you can take a layup, a one-dribble pull-up (inside the foul line), or shoot (or coach can call out this progression). Sometimes catch and hesitate, other times catch and go. The first two steps are big, you're not stuttering. Use dedicated rebounders, or the shooter rebounds. Shoot with the same elevation on every shot (jump), keep the head still, hold your follow-through the same way every time. If you shoot an air-ball who cares, it has no bearing unless it affects your next shot. Work both sides. See Shooting - 5star dribble drive, Dribble-drive. |
 | 2 b) From the corner Come out to the X (foul-line extended) then run downhill (or run downhill on the pass, if it is earlier), take a layup (no hesitation), one-dribble pull-up (middle), or a 3-point shot. Be ready to stop (hesitate) to see how they are playing you. If you miss 2-3 shots in a row, take a layup. See Shooting - Calipari two-ball. (Footwork options) To have a choice of pivot foot, options to catch on the move are - split catch - catch inside-outside (R-L on this side) - catch on one foot (usually the inside foot), hop to land on two - catch in the air, hop landing. Use a cross-step drive to avoid a travel, protect the ball, and get a downhill angle. Backcut if denied, look to reverse pivot on the right foot if overplayed on a catch. On an stride stop (outside-inside-outside), the inside foot is the pivot foot. See Shooting - Angle pull-up (split catch, attack outside), Ouse drive and kick chaos (split catch, attack middle), Library - FIBA Travel Rule. |
 | 3 (Variations) - with more players, use a passer and rebounder with 2 balls (players can take turns as the rebounder) - attack outside or middle. See Tactics - Teaching 4-out motion (Blast cut layups), Layups - Blast cuts, Shooting - Pop-out, Shell.  |
