Playing Position on the Basketball Court by Coach Allen
An instructional piece from University of Kansas coach F C Allen explains basketball positions and passing rules. It compares court flow to city traffic, warns against lengthwise passes, and describes how a five person defense requires player movement to maintain control and create scoring opportunities.
Diagram of Passing Lanes in Dasketball Strategy
The author explains using sideline passing lanes to move the ball through a tight defense. By drawing the five man defense together and “hooking out” to guards or centers, teammates can create close range shooting opportunities and position players for rebounds near the back board to score. The piece promotes recognizing defined lanes and developing new ball handling techniques through this fundamental idea.
