This video Taylin and Ethan demonstrate a basketball close out footwork agility warm-up drill.
Using push points, they close out to top or wings and using their lead hand held high and trail hand held low defensive slide to those spots on the floor.
Coach Rowe suggests using a 1 hand close out as opposed to a 2-hand close out to avoid players standing themselves up.
