One of Coach Miles' favorite drills: 2 on 1.5

Two players start on offense, with one standing on the three point line, free throw line extended to the sideline, and the other standing on the opposite block.  There are also two defensive players, with one standing underneath the basket in the middle of the lane and the other on the outside hip, half a step trailing behind the offensive player on the three point line.

A coach starts with the ball on the three point line, free throw line extended to half court. The coach will throw a bounce pass in front of the offensive player to start the live action.  Once the ball is thrown, the play goes live.  The offense get one dribble combined to score.  The offensive ball handler must make the decision to attack the rim for a layup or make a pass to their teammate.  The defender under the basket must try to force the ball handler to make a mistake and not give up an easy shot at the rim.  The defender on the back hip of the ball handler is sprinting in trying to get back involved in the play.
Players rotate through every position on the floor.  The emphasis is on the ball handler to make a quick decision by reading the defense and putting pressure on the basket.
