Skill Development--Passing

It sounds so simple but the ability to pass and safely receive the basketball is an essential but often taken for granted skill. We are working in our IDW's on this skill as we prepare for next season. Listed are a few of the points we are emphasizing with our passing:

a. On time and on target
b. Pass away from the defense
c. Timing + Accuracy + Quickness + Deception
d. Pass fake, shot fake, go against momentum
e. See it all, Vision, Scan like John Stockton
i. A good player knows where he is on the court.
ii. A great player knows where everyone is on the court.
iii. A superb player knows where everyone is on the court and what everyone is going to do.
f. Hit the first open man
g. No Last Resort passing = dribble until you have exhausted every shot opportunity for yourself and then you pass
h. Give the ball to a three pointer at three and in rhythm
