The proper way to close out on a jump shooter is to take smaller steps the closer you get to him and put the opposite hand of the way he shoots in his face, it is basketball 101. In the play in question, Ross took large steps towards to the shooter and barely raised his hands up above his waist, on top of that he was out of position. It was poor defense. Maybe you could attend a coaching clinic to learn about basketball. And I suggest you ask my fellow coaches and the players that played for me before you attempt to judge what kind of coach I was. The poster implied that it was a smart play by Ross. I just pointed out 3 things he did wrong. [/QUOTE]
