Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4123003, member: 8636"] Good one! Stepping toward the offensive player- key point. Step towards player with your back to the basket while you're doing that. I was taught in college to step with one foot between the opponent's feet and pivot. This move automatically stops the player in their tracks. One more key point: after you have neutralized the offensive player, then you go after the ball! This negates any size disadvantage. You see players box out perfectly and then not pursue the ball and the taller player can still reach over them. (seen it with Nika) We were also taught to call out, "shot" whenever a shot goes up, so if a player loses sight of the ball, they still know to rebound. [/QUOTE]
