Basketball Drills: Overhead Pass

Video Transcript

"Pro passing and defense. One hand, over head pass. You know in pro games, a lot of times, some big guys have very soft hands, you know, they don't have strong coordination with catching the ball, so it's very imperative that the point guard have gentleness and rhythm when passing the ball at close distances. So I like to do this drill, and I like to do it up close, and I like to step back a little bit and it's just soft touch, one hand passing as you cut through the lane. Ok. So you come here, you see a big guy there, it's just kind of up, give him a nice little touch, put it up, so he can get it in his rhythm, be it soft, as delicate as his hands may be, he can catch it and do what he needs to do, so you just put it up, so he catch it and then you run to the lane, through the lane rather, get it up, go through the lane. So now you back up, considering that's the bottom of the key down there, just kind of step up just kind of kind him a nice soft touch. You know, put it up. Nice little soft touch, right; that's it, just nice little soft touch, right so he can go get it."
