Also remember try not to do any no look passes w/ people you don't really know

This is advanced stuff and it takes time, even for pros, to get familiar with one another to make these work. Most passing is rather ordinary, but works really well with players who move well away from the ball. Having plays which tend to attract defenders one way, so a player can move the other direction are really good. Teamwork is knowing how to move one way and send the ball the other way or move the players one way to let another guy separate at 3pt or basket (or at least on line to the basket). Then great no-look passing becomes easier and great fun to do and see.

Bruh, and I was just looking for a passing tips video yesterday. 👌 Thanks! I really needed this since I want my passing to get better

Kinda hard to use these tricks when players on your team don't look for passes when cutting to the hoop, but I'll tell them 🏀👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey Coach C. I checked out your number 1 scoring workout and it really helped up my game. Everyone on the other team is always wanting a trade or they yell "DON'T LET HIM OPEN FOR THREE" too late.

Hi coach! How about a Lockdown school?

[solomondawson]

Man I appreciate you, you changed my game in a good way so much

[giannis]

Sorry Ik I'm late and this is completely unrelatable but I'm so proud of myself with this game I had to share it. Today I got 14 points, 7 boards and 10 assists. I would've had 12 assists if kids knew how to hit open layups, but I literally found the perfect duo. He can actually hit open shots mid range and layups and since I'm a playmaker we just dominate. He will cut into the paint while I'm getting double teammed and he automatically knows I'm passing so he's paying full attention and catches my pass and gets me my assist. All of my assists literally came from this one kid because he knows my play style. We also have similar playstyles tho too, great perimeter defenders and high shot and basketball iq as well as playmaking. Damn its gonna be fun destroying people with him.

Edit: forgot to say that it was my high in assists and boards. Believe I got 30 points one game so that is basically impossible for me to beat. Also if you are wondering I shot around 44% from the field and I didn't shoot a three in the game I mentioned in the first paragraph. can someone confirme that this is good for a person who has only been playing for 13 months?

Great video! Will practice some these 😊. Is there video that shows how to cut? Thans

I liked the way you broke down the different aspects of passing, but I thought you might add putting the proper speed on the pass also. Too hard and the pass might not be caught, and too light, and the pass might get intercepted. Also, I thought you could break down the different ways to pass such as Two Hand Overhead, lob pass, behind the back, off the dribble flip pass, etc.
