"Two keys to being effective with the ball are the shot fake and the pass fake."- Bob Knight
 
Fake a pass to make a pass is great when facing pressure.
 
If Griffin would use a pump fake, Gardner would be fouled out by now.
 
If we didn't bite on every pump fake we commit 5-7 less fouls game.
 
You guys are right on, amazing what a simple little fundamental does for you.

Nothing will get you to the bench quicker than not boxing out. Coaches understand the importance of rebounding. If you do it well, you'll rapidly increase your chances of playing.

I always said that rebounding, passing, and playing defense would get you a spot on my team.
