3 defensive players and 3 offensive players, positioned as if they are in a free throw position. When the shooter shoots the ball, the defensive players must box out, as demonstrated in the figure. The ball must touch the floor for the defensive players to get it and play offense. If the atacking players get the ball, they are the one allowed to play offense.

If the offense gets the rebound and converts the basket, the defensive team must go out and make 30 push-ups.
