Kentucky 1 on 2

3 players, one shooter, one rebounder and one defender. Players rotate on each shot. The person not rebounding or shooting closes out on the shot. If the shooter fakes and drives, he goes two on one, with 3 dribbles.

Instructions

The drill starts with the shooter shooting, the player that rebounds passes to the person who didn’t shoot or rebound. After the rebounder passes out he/she closes out the shooter. The previous shooter goes to get in rebounding position, rebounds the ball and passes out to the defender. The rotation goes, shooter to rebounder to defender back to shooter. If defender closes out too strong and unbalanced, the shooter is to fake and go 1 on 2. One point is scored for each basket.

Variations

Shooters can stay behind the three point line.
Vary the number of dribbles
Rebounder can play offense to work on inside-outside game.

Tips

Emphasize catching the ball with proper footwork, good shooting form and focusing on the target. Defender should say ‘close-out’ on each shot. Rebounder should keep hands over head and overhead pass the ball out.

Skills

Pressure shooting, one on one moves, close outs
