Back To Basic : Pass

Pass in simplicity, is a ball move from a player toward another.

The quality desire for a pass is fast enough to escape any potential obstruction and soft enough to be received by team member.

A fast pass is most important when passing to the center of the court, since there will be more opponent at the center.

A pass that is too fast won't be able to be stop by the receiving team member, thus defeating the purpose of a pass. There is no point passing if your team member can't get the ball. So the pass must be soft so the pass could be receive easily.

These two aforementioned points is contradictory to each other in the most paradoxical way. I would like to clarify this conundrum,  by demonstrating that these points is legitimate, reasonable and logical. The key is balance. The ball need to move just fast enough to escape any potential obstruction and just soft enough to be easily receive by a team member.

There is much could be said upon this subject,but I would end this monograph for now.However, I do hope you still find this simple monograph practical.  In short, passing is an art in itself.

Two Defenders ; The Path Unseen, Unraveled

The best way to dribble when facing two defenders in parallel line horizontally relative to the goal post is between the said defenders.

This void of undefended area in seemingly impenetrable territory is caused by the misconception and misguided assumption of the defender that the other defender will stop any attempt to move between the gap. Instead of stopping you, their inaction is due to each other false assumption.

Furthermore, because the gap is seemingly impenetrable, they are overconfidence that any dribble attempt could be stop easily. This overconfidence-induce inefficiency cause the gap even more easier to get through by dribbler. 

I hope you find this article useful. Be brave and go dribble!
