How To Play Basketball: Disruption Principle #5

(Music playing)

Defensive disruption principle number five is to deny the cut to the lane, so when an offensive player wants to come to the ball, we force him or her away from it. Let us take a look at this. John is on offence, he is going to cut hard. Anthony is going to chest him, deny his cut, he is frustrating his opponent, he comes back out, now he has got the ball out. Again denying the cut, he is coming back out. Deny the cut. Can not get it where he wants, he is denying, good deed.

The only foul principle is one of which you play good position defense but you never want to leave your feet or get in to early foul trouble especially in the first half. You do not want to waste fouls in the first quarter of the first half, so if you have them to use toward the end of the game if you need to, you have to play smart. This will also help you to develop good habits and force you to play better position defense. The early foul principle is all about losing a battle once in a while in order to win the war. You cannot be effective in a game if you are sitting on a bench in early foul trouble.
