Basketball: Catching and Shot Fake Skills and Drills - Part One - Coach Green begins with the fundamentals of catching the basketball. Beginning with the correct catching stance, players learn how to step into the basketball while maintaining momentum for the shot. Once players catch the ball, it's time to learn the Shot Fake. The arms go out and the ball goes up while the body stays down. Smooth moves.
Basketball: Catching and Shot Fake Skills and Drills - Part Two - What's the value of the Shot Fake? Keeping the defender off balance. But it's not enough to fake the shot. You have to get by the defender - and fast. Sweeping the ball and positioning the body to attack the basket help ensure the shot.
