*Five spots on the floor: baseline, wing, on top, opposite wing, and opposite baseline.
*You make 3 moves from each spot.
*The first is a 3 point shot (worth 3 points), the second is a shot fake one dribble drive to middle shoot jumper (worth 2 points) , and the third move is a shot fake one dribble drive to middle lay up (worth 1 point).
*So each spot is worth 6 points.
*At the end you shoot 2 free throws (worth 1 point each) for a total of 32 points.
*You compete against yourself.
*Make the moves at game speeds be tight with your game.
*The drives to the middle you will be using direct and crossover moves so step with the same foot each time.

Four main objectives for guards on drives

Four main objectives for guards on drives:

1. Create space between themselves and their defender.
2. Go north and south on drives don't belly out (straight to hoop).
3. Put your body on the defenders body on the start step.
4. Take your dribble moves right at the defender get them on their heels. If you get beside them or get them on their heels, they are yours.


what drive coaches nuts about guards:

1. When a guard just dribbles once and picks up his dribbel.
2. When the guard starts going east and west instead of attacking.
3. When a guard hesitates on passing, making the play, or decision making.
