Beating pressure

  • a ballhandler should always have three short pass options and one long pass option
  • v-cut and run to meet passes (shorten them)
  • catch and face upcourt
  • establish a strong pivot foot, get low and wide (don’t turn your back)
  • sweep the floor with the ball or swing it overhead (don’t hold the ball overhead or in front of your torso)
  • use pass fakes (e.g., fake high and pass low)
  • pass with both feet on the floor
  • use a pull-back dribble (and crossover) to beat defenders or create a passing angle
