Brickley showed Fudd doing some dribbling before pulling up for a 3-point basket. She followed that up with a long 2-point jumper before concluding the shooting drill with an attempt over the outstretched arm of a defender.

Brickley praised his student after Fudd made all three of her field-goal attempts.

"We getting better!" Brickley wrote after tagging Fudd's Instagram handle.
