The step back is simple. It\u2019s the perfect move that creates space to get your shot off. Alright, let\u2019s say you have a tough defender on you and you can&#8217;t get them on a double crossover, you can\u2019t get them with, you know, any other move but you want to get that shot off, right? So when you drive into the basket, let\u2019s say you&#8217;re driving left and you\u2019re driving to the basket. Dip that shoulder. Now, you don&#8217;t wanna push off with your off arm. You don&#8217;t want to push off because that&#8217;s an offensive foul. Alright, so you wanna dip that shoulder, use that inside foot, plant and step back as far as you can to create as much space as possible. You wanna land on both feet and make sure you\u2019re on balance, jump straight up, straight down. Hold your follow through and knock the shot down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former professional point guard and CoachUp coach Brandon Ball shows how to execute the step back to help you create space to get your shot off.
