Drill begins with four players spaced around perimeter. Player 1 passes to player 2 and follows into a closeout. Coach may ask for a short, long or traditional closeout to vary the read to begin (phase B). In later reps the defender can make any closeout (Phase C).

Player 2 read the closeout and either shoots or drives. Player 1 replaces player 2 on perimeter.

SHORT Close Out = Shot

LONG close out = Drive the closeout

Traditional close out = move the defender (footwork, shot fake, PASS [One More])

Player 2 must get own rebound whether the shoot or drive to rim.

Player 2 then passes to Player 3 then follows into the closeout. Player 3 reads closeout and makes shot/drive decision

After the drill has cleared two spots, the next player in line (Player 6) joins the drill by passing to Player 1 in corner and following into close out. Player 1 now has shot/drive read.

Player 3 passes to player 4 and follows with closeout. Player 4 has shot/drive read.

This drill continues with this pattern.
