Watching the ball handlers hips on defense is an absolute cheat code guys. When my coach told me this back when I was a teen, it changed everything for me. I love playing defense now.

Although I haven't tried the crosssover step, how would I be able to recover if the ball handler dooes a snatchback?

[Quanziam]

Crossing your feet is setting players up for nasty ankle breakers. They should learn aerobics for safety.

[alexcooldad]

How is number three.. hand on hip not a foul?

[Jennifer-qchs]

Isn't touching the person with the ball a foul??

[zionokungbowa]
