Behind The Back Move

By Aaron Williams


Putting a ball behind your backside is an excellent move you can use to make enough space in between you as well as the defender and get to the place you have to get to on the floor. Placing the b-ball within the rear of your backside increase your ability to get high percentage shots, and produce precise passes.

Every good ball handler can do this move, and it's important to have because you will increase your chances of getting an open shot or making that accurate pass. The behind the back is mainly used when you want to change direction when your drive to the basket has been cut off by your defender.

Placing the b-ball at the rear of your back is safer than a crossover, and quick then a spin move so it's in between the two moves.

Remember that the within the rear of the back move is used as soon as your initial decision has become cut off by the defensive pro. This move is quicker than a spin move, and safer than a crossover.

The first way to perform the behind the back move is to have your feet shoulder width apart, come to a stop with both feet landing at the same time and put the ball behind your back. With that being the case, the ball should bounce directly behind your back, crossing over and landing in your other hand. This way is a little slower than the second one, however it is easier to execute since you're in a more controlled body position with the basketball.

The second way to preform this move is quicker than the first but is more difficult to do at game speed, and might require more practice to reduce your odds of unforced turnovers. This style is simply a matter of creating your move of attack towards the rim or the place you need to go, and as soon as the opponent cuts you off, you wrap the ball around your body. The reason why this is quicker, but more difficult to do is because unlike the first one the place you come to a two foot stop, you do not break your running stride with this one.

Much like all moves, the basketball behind the back move will result in a turnover if not done in the correct way. The good news it that the ball is protected from the defender for most of the time throughout the move since you're putting the ball behind your back.

However, the ball comes into potential danger when it comes around to your other hand. When this happens, the defender will be able to deflect the ball. You can prevent this by looking in the route that you want your defense to go, as well as creating sure that you are lower than your defender.
