HoopDamentals is cutting edge yet serves as a filter between And 1 ball handing and what can be used in organized competitive basketball. The game of basketball continues to change with time. It has become more athletic in terms of size, speed, and strength. As a result, the officiating has adjusted. For example: the hand check has become a forearm. The rules governing the dribble have also changed. What was once considered palming or carrying the ball is no longer a violation. This clearly gives the advantage to the offensive player. The need for a skills-development workout which transitions from Old School ‘finger tip control’ to Modern Day ‘ball manipulation’ is needed.
