Set players up as shown in video clip.
The baseline offensive player will drive towards the basket.
The help defender will come over and stop the drive.
The player with the ball will pass to the other offensive player. The receiver of the pass will shoot the ball.
The defensive player will sprint out and challenge the shot.
The drill ends when the players box out and get the rebound.
