There is a basketball drill that has several names some people call it Bird shooting drill, or the Larry Bird 2 minute shooting drill. Regardless it is still a bird that is in the drill. Since it has two different names I decided to put an example of how the drills are done from the web so people can determine which drill they are actually doing. The bird shooting drill : Use two players... one a shooter and the other a re-bounder. As a team drill, we use all of the baskets. We shoot from 5 spots on the perimeter - 3-point shots for outside players, while post players can move just inside the arc if desired.Set the clock for 2 minutes. On "go", the shooter starts in the corner and must make two-in a-row before he/she can move to the next spot (the wing). The shooter must make two-in-a-row at each spot before moving to the next (see diagram). Rotation is from right corner => right wing => top => left wing => left corner => left wing => top => right wing => right corner.If the shooter makes it all the way around and back, he/she then goes to the top and starts shooting 3-point shots from there, and however many he makes from there (total, not consecutive) is his score... so 2 or 3 is a really good score. Next, the re-bounder becomes the shooter (and vice-versa) for the next two minutes. http://www.coachesclipboard.net/2ManShootingDrills.html
I would like to apologize because the Larry Bird drill is the same exact drill as the Bird shooting drill. This drill just applies pressure on a player to make a certain amount of baskets under pressure. By using the catch and shoot tactic.
