Apologies--I overlooked your response.

I agree on just about everything you posted here. What you're referring to with rebounding is what I call "hit and get" rebounding. Hit someone so you're closer to the ball, and go get it. Most of the rebounding drills I like are in semi-live or live situations where players need to react to the ball going up in real time.

Also agree on the three-man weave. I like to use a 2-3 pass weave as a full-court transition drill. Instead of a weave, I would have my big man (when I had one) serve as a rim runner instead.

Legs are an important part of the shot. The part I didn't explain well is that what I mean is that you use your legs, but using your legs MORE to shoot farther is bad basketball... the difference between a 20 foot and a 28 foot jumper should come from the arms.

Also agree with your last paragraph... I coached HS and AAU ball, so any kind of 3-5 foot shot wouldn't have been particularly useful for my guys. I'll defer to the youth coaches on that.
