Coach Dan Speaks:

Basketball drills are great for developing basketball IQ and muscle memory, and the reverse lay up is a great basketball drill to practice your finishing ability. Start by practicing dribbling from the triple threat position. Once you reach the desired spot put 1 minute on the clock, and from there try to score as much as you can while still finishing on the reverse side of the hoop where you jumped. This type of basketball drill helps develop your basketball IQ since it involves shielding away from defenders and should be done with game-speed in mind. Reverse lay ups are good to perfect when trying to finish in traffic or against a formidable shot blocker.
