Video Transcript

"Coach Rudy, I've won championships both as a coach and a player. Lets talk about how to play knockout. Knockout is an opportunity for you to shoot a shot from the top of the key. Traditionally this game is played with ten or more people. It could be played with twenty or forty even. The goal is if you have ten or more people you put half of them on one side, on the one side of the half court, free throw line. And half of them on the other side. Not at the free throw line, but at the top of the key. You put half of the players on one side of the half court at the top of the key, and half on the other. Everyone is shooting from the top of the key. If you make it the guy behind you has to make it or he's out. If you miss, the guy behind you if he makes it, you're out. If he misses, your both still in. Alright so, if I'm going first, If I make it, the guy behind me is got to make it or he's out. If I miss the guy behind me if he makes it I'm out. And the guy behind him is got to make it, if he misses then we are both still in. That's how you play knockout. It's played with a lot of people, it's a fun game but you got to make your shots. Have fun."
