Give and Go with Pivot (Pick and Roll Style)
CB passes to the pivot, who immediately returns the ball while using their body as a screen. CB cuts off the screen at full speed to receive the return pass and finish from a penetrating angle. Practices two-player combinations and pick-and-roll timing.

Coaching Points
- CB passes and immediately cuts — the return pass should arrive before CB slows down
- PV touches the ball to the hand, not the chest — a full catch breaks the rhythm
- CB brushes PV's shoulder on the cut to stay as close to the screen as possible
- PV holds the screen position for one beat after returning the pass to block D-CB
- CB receives the return pass with the shooting arm already loading, not after catching
