Description

Practice reading the defender's hands an ripping to one side to create space.

Summary

Using a forward pivot and / or a reverse pivot the player faces the basket and squares up – if the defender’s hands are low – rip across the shoulders; if the defender’s hands are high – rip low. Teach the player to read the defender. A hip to hip rip can be risky – it’s easily stripped. If the defender’s hands are out wide – shoot the shot.
