Preparation
-“ Player 1 starts with the ball on the right baseline
-“ Player 2 stands in the outlet area (on the three point line at a 45 degree angle from the basket)
Execution
1. Player 1 outlets the ball to Player 2
2. Player 2 dribbles the full length of the floor and converts the layup
3. Meanwhile, Player 1 has sprinted the length of the floor to the opposite foul line, turns around, heads back down the court, and looks for a long pass from Player 2
4. Player 2 gets his own rebound and throws a baseball pass to Player 1
5. Player 1 converts the layup. Player 2 sprints to reach Player 1’s rebound before it hits the floor.
Points of Emphasis

-“ Call out “Ball!” and “Outlet!” to start the drill
-“ Convert all layups
-“ Time the baseball pass so the receiving player is running full speed to catch it
