Movement Shooting: push and pull shooting reads

This drill is run with two players or one player and a coach. One basketball is placed on the nail (free-throw line). Two players start on opposite wings, passing one ball back and forth. One player is designated as the driver, the other as the shooter. How it Works: The two players pass the ball back and forth on the wings. At any moment, the designated driver attacks either: Toward the other player, or Away from the other player (baseline) If the driver attacks toward the shooter, the shooter must move away from the ball, relocating to the corner to create space for a three-point shot. If the driver attacks away from the shooter, the shooter must pull behind the drive and fill the space vacated by the ball handler. After the relocation, the shooter catches and shoots a three-point shot. Immediately after the shot, the shooter sprints to the nail, picks up the ball placed there, and performs a backpedal step-back three at the top of the key. The goal is to make both shots, completing the sequence three times.
