  • Stunt & Retreat

    "Buy time" - every extra pass or dribble the offense is forced to make provides an opportunity for one additional defensive player to get back in the play.

     

    Contain the dribbler; stunt & retreat, do not reach or attempt to steal the ball.

  • Play The Pass

    Often the dribbler will pass the ball before forcing the defense to commit.

     

    They pass rather than drive/shoot in a 2v1. Stunt to elicit the pass then play the pass.

     

  • Take A Charge

    Often the dribbler will continue their momentum on their path to the basket after making a pass.

  • 2v1 w/ Help

    Buy time until help (The Wolf) is in the passing lane before committing to the ball
