Partner
 | 1 Each player has a partner. a) One ball Chest pass to your partner, who passes back. Each player catches the ball with both feet in the air, lands with a jump stop in triple threat position. Progression - bounce passes - overhead passes - step-around passes - baseball passes - push passes - push bounce passes - how many passes can they make in 30 seconds? Options before passing - pass fake to the player on your left, or right - pivot 360 degrees - sweep, jab step, upfake - take 3 dribbles on the spot (David Faucher) - make a triple-threat move using a blast or crossover step. Steve Nash - be on balance, in an athletic position, knees bent, feet shoulder width apart - use two hands - step through to make a pass - follow through to have your thumbs down and palms out, snap it - come meet the ball as a receiver, meet the pass, don't give the defence a chance to intercept it (jump forward into a jump stop) - fake a pass to make a pass - pass fake to one side before passing to partner - in a game, v-cut to get open, take the defender in as though you are making a cut to the basket, pop out, catch the ball, square up to the basket in triple threat - the three basic passes are chest, bounce (basically the same thing), and overhead. Bill Pangos - Movement - after passing, move a few feet away from the pass, plant, make a sharp cut towards the ball for a pass. Option - add a shot fake or pass fake before passing. Brenda Frese - dribble, same-hand push pass (pound and push), used in transition. John Belein - to take the ball from one side to the other, sweep it low or bring it over your head.
