How Smart Players Avoid Charges and Turnovers (video)
A Momentum Dribble is made on the go. You catch and just continue running. What if there is a defender in front of you? If your habit is to take this Mo’ Dribble the moment you catch the ball and you don’t see the defender then there is a high probability you will get called for a charge or a traveling violation.
Instead, make it your habit to use a Mo’ Stop or a Mo’ Change.
A Mo’ Stop is a quick pause for control and vision. This quick stop on the catch allows you to get vision to see the defender and see open teammates.
A Mo’ Change allows you to gather your body and load your legs to quickly change directions and explode past the defender to avoid the charge.
