• Intentionally missing a free throw
• Rebounding an intentionally missed free throw when down by two points
• Rebounding an intentionally missed free throw when down by three points
• Full-court plays when you are down by two, three, or four with six seconds to play
• Communicating with teammates to save the ball out of bounds
• Tweaking your full-court press to get a 5-second call on your opponent inbounding the ball late in a game
• Creating side out of bounds plays that flow directly into your half-court offense
• Playing successfully underneath your own basket at the end of a game with various position options
