Great help!! :D but I gotta ask, can you guys give a recommend distance between the offensive player and the defensive player? cuz when I do this I often leave to much room giving them an open shot or I get to close and its easy for them to get pass me, how far should I be from the player?

[ShotScience]

@IzDaChinoMhin Arms distance works best. You should be able to reach out and touch his chest with your finger tips.

@ShotScience can you make a video about trying out for a school team

[ShotScience]

@4lifedeathwish We already have that video. Go to our You Tube channel and find the vide "Make That Team."

@ShotScience How do you do the Wall Up thingy??? It might help me a lot.. :DD

[ShotScience]

@kevinaddictus The "Wall Up" is a technique where you belly-up to the offensive player with both arms extended directly above your body to create a kind of wall for the person to shoot over. Belly-to-belly contact is good and now it becomes more difficult for them to get their shot off. Do not allow the arms to reach out as this can result in a foul call on you if there is contact. This is usually used after the player has used his dribble.

Jimmer needs to watch this.

i had a match 2 month ago and I used this defensive stopper but somehow the offensive player can still easily get through me ... he's taller than me ..About 5 cm taller, was it because of the height coach ?

[RamenRuv]

@RamenRuv cheers, i'll keep that in mind

[ShotScience]

@RamenRuv Just continue to work on this and pretty soon it will become easier for you. Practice takes care of everything.

i do do the stance but im not too focused on that one man and he can easily fake a left or right and always get pased me, what can i do?

[ShotScience]

@kevinaddictus Once you leave the floor and there is contact you usually are the one to get the foul call. Using the "Wall-Up" technique is a good idea instead. We will be doing more on defense soon.
