Contest Shooting: 3 man nail weave

Three players. All three begin aligned across the free-throw line. – One player starts on the left wing with the ball. – One player starts in the middle at the nail. – One player starts on the right wing. How it Works: The drill begins with the left-wing player attacking the basket off the dribble. As the drive occurs, the middle player waits at the nail. The driver passes the ball behind the back to the middle player at the nail. Immediately after the catch, the middle player swings the ball to the right-wing player, who is sliding away from the ball from the wing to the corner to create a longer closeout. The shooter catches the ball in the corner and takes a contested three-point shot. The middle player, after making the pass, must close out and contest the shot at game speed. Focus Points: – Offensive movement away from the ball to create spacing – Timing and accuracy on the drive-and-kick sequence – Shooting under a hard, late closeout – Defender sprinting out of the pass and contesting without fouling – Game-like pace and flow through the entire action
