Step around pass is used when you are closely guarded and you need to step around the defender in the direction you want to pass the ball.
As you step around you will need to protect the ball by getting the ball to the side of your body away from the defender and making the pass from your hip.
Repeat in both directions (don't always step and pass the same way).
The pass should finish with your hand and fingers pointing to where you want the ball to go.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
