Youth Basketball: Teaching Basketball Dribbling

The problem with being overly fancy is it requires too much time for a player to fully strut their stuff. This can spell disaster at the lower levels of the game. It invites over-dribbling and ball handling errors, and it causes a player to be selfish rather than selfless. Learn how to teach the right amount of tactical dribbling for the offense to flow! I'll teach you: How to teach the beginner, so they get it right from the start; How I counsel players as to what I expect with their ball handling skills within their position and within the context of what the offense is trying to establish; How teaching-coaches can direct discipline so the coach, not players, dictates the style of play.
