"TRAVIS WAACK: Okay, let's talk about the running-bounce pass, running-one-handed-bounce pass, and that is going to be used more often when you're--you've got a fast-break situation. You're running down the floor with your teammates and defenders are backing up from you. So what it's going to like is just like you've dribbling down the floor and instead of bringing that ball up and dribbling again, you're going to one-hand, flip it off to wherever your teammate is and running for the ball. And remember, passing accuracy and timing, and that's why a lot of people you don't see they're really good passers. They don't practice. They don't have accuracy; and they don't have timing. You can develop it. It doesn't necessarily come naturally, and it does take practice. So dribbling down the floor, a one-handed-bounce pass, again, you're dribbling with one hand. Instead of bringing it back up to dribble again, you're just pushing it off to maybe a cutting teammate. And if they're running, you're leading them with the ball, meaning, get the ball up in front of them. So you're running down. So you're running down the floor and one hand."
