This drill was posted on The Coaching Toolbox as a free resource out of their Attack the Pack and Packline Defense Bundle that they have available for purchase. It was assembled by Chris Filios.

The Van Gundy Drill is designed to force the defense to guard a variety of actions that they would see in the game.
It starts in a Horns sets.

Defend horns ball screen action 5 screening for 1.

Throw back to 4.
3 lifts.
4 reverses to 3.

4 sets wing pick and roll for 3.
5 ducks in from the opposite side.
1 and 2 exchange on the opposite side.

3 reverses to 2.
4 spaces behind 3 point arc.

High sprint ball screen 5 on 2.

2 throws back to 1.
5 posts up.

Once the offense (second or scout team) knows the motion, the defense will step on and guard it.
Play will be live and the offense can score off any of the actions.
