He starts out by talking about hearing at a basketball clinic at Princeton that they work for 30 minutes of layups every day.
Think about how many times in a game do you get a layup out of your offense or on a steal do you get a layup and miss?
You have to practice finishing around the basket off either feet and off two feet when you get contact to finish.
Jay calls finishing off two feet a 'Bully Move.' Get to the basket, come to a 2 foot stop and extend at the rim. Coming to a 2 foot stop allows you to also read the help defense. You can stop and finish a layup, stop and finish with a jump stop, or stop and read the defense and pass.
He talks about how they also use the Bradley drill to emphasize releasing the ball high around the basket.
You can release the ball higher because you don't need as much extension around the basket due to proximity and momentum. But, you have to practice this shot because it is different than what you are probably used to.
