Reid Ouse - Lateral bound vs. bounce-off,
- lateral bound - push off the inside foot and kick it behind, skip off the outside foot, land in a drop stance
- lateral bounce off - kick the inside foot over the top, a cross-step.

Jared Berggren - Lateral bound breakdown - going right to left can get to a lateral bound using a crossover, between the legs or behind the back.

Use cross-step (bounce off), shuffle (kick step) or bound footwork for lateral separation. Use a push-out (or inside-out) move for strong-side separation, e.g. see YouTube videos - Nasty hesi, Curry Shooting Drills #1.

For other ballhandling drills to work on lateral separation, see Mastering the crossover, Lateral movement crossovers.
