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.

When players ask me what they can do to look special, they are really asking me how they can get more shots within their offense. They tend to dismiss this crucial answer, “Identify what your opponent does poorly, expose that, and you will stand out.” What do the majority of players do poorly? Execute their transition defense well.
But when you shift the way you think, the way you play begins to change. Playing this way is hard. It takes superior conditioning & mental toughness. But never forget: Everything worth having is on the other side of hard.
