Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4182617, member: 6696"] This isn't my experience, and what you're saying would confuse most basketball players if you were trying to explain a concept to them. When someone refers to "ballhandling" they are referring to their ability to dribble the ball. Nothing more, nothing less. No one says "you have handles" if you can pass the ball. I actually think the way you think of ballhandling is actually a good thing... it just isn't commonly what people refer to. If I tell a kid to work on his "ballhandling," he isn't going to go into his driveway and practice pocket passes, he's going to practice his dribbling. If I'm talking about passing ability, I'm going to tell a kid to work on "decision-making"... not his ballhandling. Footwork is a huge part of ballhandling that tends to get ignored as well. [/QUOTE]
