# [Decision Making Basketball Shooting Drill: Drive, Kick, Read](https://blog.drdishbasketball.com/decision-making-basketball-shooting-drill-drive-kick-read)

In this breakdown our partner Coach Jordan Petersen of Ellsworth High School (WI) and Founder of [Positionless Basketball](http://www.positionlessbball.com/) demonstrates a great drill focused on decision making using the [Dr. Dish CT](https://www.drdishbasketball.com/ct).

While all shooting drills can be beneficial, oftentimes players "run through the motions" when they get in a rhythm. This allows for a nice wrinkle where the player catching the ball from the Dish has to make a decision based on how the defense reacts.

Another way to make the drill more game-like is to have the passer close out on the shooter that they pass to.

Try this during your basketball practices and small group workouts!
