Bounce Back Dribble with Finishing
Working on bounce back or retreat dribbles, which are used frequently against pressure and traps. The ballhandler starts on the baseline and dribbles to the first cone. At the cone, the player makes a two-dribble retreat then dribbles to the second cone where he again performs another retreat dribble. The player speed dribbles around the third cone and passes to the coach. He will then sprint around the final cone on the opposite wing, receive a pass from the coach, and finish at the rim.
