Is this drill for you?

For novice scorers (Level 2) drilling combo attacks into jump stops - crossover, behind-the-back, and double-cross entries into pivots and finishes.

Trains: footwork · ball-handling · finishing · balance

The ladder: Crossover attack first, then the behind-the-back attack, then the double-cross spin into a jumper.

Variations: Drive right, finish with either hand.

In a game: The BTL-cross entry into a jump stop mirrors a real drive that gets cut off - the pivot and counters are the escape.

15 minutes; needs a hoop.
