The role of point guard, we have already explained, is that he has to read the defense, go right here. He sees the two guys are high, that means is to play one for one gap is up above the foul line. One gap is up above the foul line. That tells the rests of his team where they should go. That is what I want you to do, if a defender comes out on you, do not be on a hurry just because he here, and you got to step up where you able to shoot. You cannot shoot from here, true?
So, you always want to catch the ball here, you got it? You always have to take one. You are the guy that has to do a little bit of movement too. You got be able to step one pass toward, that goes over here. You got to be always ready to catch, ready to shoot, you got it?
In fact you ought to be willing when someone passing to you to do that. It just a catch and shoot. John Paxson won a world championship just because he caught and he shoot, did he not?
Point guards have to always be—throw him the ball, throw it back to him, fake inside, throw back, you are in your triple threat. Point guards have to always be on the perimeter so they are ready to shoot or drive as well. Now, these two defenders are close enough, he can fake a pass inside and get them to lean and then kick it to the wing. What happens now you dump it back out, if this defenders stays there the balls comes back to the point, this defender is a little tired, he stays there. The point guard wants to create something, he is going to go down low, he is going to take one dribble into the gap to force two defenders, one dribble.
It is a one dribble rule, one dribble and jump stop to force two defenders, come get them. He got to dump inside right there, seal him off big men, that is your job. Give him the ball, he has got to dump inside or if we got help there give him back the ball. He is created right there a shot, boom, for his teammate.
If they take more than two dribbles, it is going to be a mess. To take one dribble, they can learn to create for them selves, for their teammates and they have to learn to do it under control.
