A short basketball training clip by Ethan Khoza teaching a progressive floater-drill. The coach describes a sequence of paint-area freestyle dribbling drills that cue the shooter to finish with a floater, using verbal 'one' or 'two' calls to signal a one-foot or two-foot shot, progressing from scripted to live defensive reaction drills.

Here's a workout you can do if you want to develop a better floater. We're starting off with just freestyle dribbling inside the paint. At some point, I'm giving him a go call, and he's getting up into a floater as fast as he can. Now he's freestyle dribbling, and I'm giving him either a one or a two call. A one call means he's going to shoot it off of one foot, and a two call means he's going to shoot it off of two feet. 1. Now he's freestyle dribbling, and I'm going to reach at some point. As soon as I do, he's going to attack and get to a floater either off of one or two feet. And now adding to that, he's gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna reach this time, I'm gonna give him a call that's gonna be either one or two. So one for one foot or two for two feet. Next, we're gonna do the same thing, except this time it's gonna be completely live so he can get to whatever. But you're gonna start to see some of those photos getting mixed in. As he now has new solutions to be able to score with.
