32
Q

It is the is the quickest way to move the basketball but is the least liked by many players

A

Passing

33
Q

It is the quickest pass in basketball, either from a standing position or off the dribble, and is mainly used round the perimeter of the offence (outside the lane).

A

One handed push pass

34
Q

This is often the first pass taught to beginners because, supposedly, two arms are stronger than one for small children.

A

Two handed chest pass

35
Q

It is only used over short distance because of its slow action. This pass may be executed with either a one handed or two handed pass and is used to pass the ball by a defender who may be able to get a hand into the passing lane.

A

Bounce pass

36
Q

This pass is used to reverse the ball from one side of the court to the other over the top of the lane and the defence. However, the pass requires more strength in the arms due to their whipping action and also having to hold the ball overhead so it is advisable to only apply this pass when the players have some body size and strength in the arms.

A

Overhead pass

37
Q

It is used to make a long pass down court, usually on a fast break, and requires both distance and accuracy. Similar to the Skip Pass, this pass requires arm strength and body size and is not recommended for young children and beginners.

A

Baseball pass

38
Q

It is used specifically to feed the ball to the low post player, and sometime to the high post. It is in reality a bounce passes over a short distance and designed to get by close defence.

Q

What are the 6 types of passes in basketball?

A

One handed push pass
Two handed chest pass
Bounce pass
Overhead pass
Baseball pass
The curl (post) pass

40
Q

This skill, along with shooting, is the fun part of basketball for most players and we see many young players copying their PBA or NBA idols with all types of fancy ball work but so often they have not been taught that there are only two reasons to dribble the ball: (1) It is used to penetrate the ball towards the basket, and (2) To create a better passing

A

Dribbling

41
Q

It is used to take the ball into open spaces between defenders
(penetrate the defence) and the speed dribble is used to move the ball quickly down the court toward the basket in which the team score (such as in a fast break

A

Control dribble

42
Q

It is pushing the ball out in front (and to the outside) of
the foot on the same side as the hand being used to dribble and the ball bounces about waist high with the dribbler.

A

Speed dribble

43
Q

One of the four main areas of turnovers in the game

A

Travelling

44
Q

It is simply a change of direction during a dribble and the basis is the footwork. The change of direction is the same footwork used in all changes of direction, with or without the ball.

A

Cross over dribble

45
Q

What are the three types of cross over dribble?

A
  1. cross over dribble
  2. between the legs dribble
  3. behind the back dribble
46
Q

It is a move to lead the defence into thinking that the dribbler may be going to make a crossover dribble, causing the defender to start to move his head to the opposite direction to the
dribble.

A

Hesitation dribble

47
Q

It is an extension of the Hesitation Dribble. The execution is the same
except at the point of hesitation on the dribble the player rolls his right hand to the outside (right side) of the ball as if to push the ball to his left and as the defence’s head starts to shift opposite (that is to the defender’s right) then the player rolls his hand on the ball back to the inside (the left side) of the ball and pushes forward, exploding past in the same direction.

A

Faked crossover dribble

48
Q

It is also an execution of the Hesitation Dribble, with the same execution,
however as the dribbler slows down he makes a stutter step with his feet (this is a
very quick and very short step with each foot) which may cause the defence to
slow his momentum and even stand up a little or believe that a Crossover Dribble
is about to be made and react to cover this. By putting the defender off balance a
little, the dribbler may be able to explode by on the same side as the ball is being
dribbled.

A

Stutter dribble

49
Q

This is the focal point of the game for many players, most spectators and some coaches and for these people it is what wins the game.

A

Shooting
