-
Reception should serve as the preparatory movement of your next pass.
-
Don’t allow slow movements to telegraph your passes.
-
The situation should determine the speed and type of pass to be used.
-
Unless the situation calls for a low pass, a pass along the deck, or a pass to area above the receiver’s head, make all passes-air or bounce-belt to chin high.
-
In passing, keep the head up, stay cool and relaxed, and select the proper pass for the situation.
-
In all one hand passing, the foot opposite the throwing arm should go forward with the throw.
-
pass only to a man in position to receive a pass, or release the potential receiver with a deceptive move before passing to him.
-
In passing to a running man remember that he is in motion and give him a lead suitable for his speed.
-
It is easiest to pass by a defensive man when he is closer to the passer. The kind and place of the pass will depend greatly upon the height and position of the defensive man’s body.
-
Pass the ball to the side of the receiver farthest from the defensive man.
-
Don’t pass laterally under opponents’ basket unless necessary, and only then when positive that the pass will be completed.
-
develop the wrists and fingers and increase passing effectiveness by learning to pass with either hand.
