Start 1 line on the baseline, in the corner. Player 1 rolls the ball hard out towards the opposite end, with player 2 sprinting hard after the loose ball. He must pick it up with 2 hands for control, get his eyes up to see the floor, and go hard at the basket for a lay up. Player 1 must trail hard, because he must be available as a trailer option of player 2 cannot control the ball for his own layup, and to get the rebound out of the net before it touches the floor. Switch roles coming back the opposite way.
The key is controling the loose ball with 2 hands before trying to dribble. Also emphasize sprinting hard to the ball and as a trailer. Finally, the ball handler must get his eyes up on the rim as he attacks the basket.
