Contest Shooting: overhead trigger relocation shots

Three players are involved. One player starts underneath the basket with the ball. One offensive player is positioned outside the three-point line. One defensive player stands between them, facing the player on the perimeter. How It Works: The perimeter player and the defender begin by passing the ball back and forth while staying active. At any moment, the defender in the middle can throw an overhead pass to the player underneath the basket. This pass triggers the action. After making the overhead pass, the defender immediately sprints out to the three-point line to receive a return pass for a three-point shot. As this happens, the original perimeter player must sprint into the paint, get one foot in the lane, and then close out to contest the shot. Play to a target score and rotate positions after each set. Focus Points: Quick transition from passing to sprint relocation. Explosive paint touch and recovery closeout. Shooting under time pressure. Conditioning and reaction speed. Competitive urgency on both ends.
