Coaching Points: Don’t twist or jerk body during movement // Don’t allow balancing knee to rotate internally or externally
Phillips: Try to get the non-balancing leg up to 90 degrees; it really gets your glute and core stabilizers working on the balancing leg. Making that glute work will help maintain your hip posture. Your instincts are going to make you want to twist, but if you twist on a single leg, you’ll fall down. This is just like going up for a lay-up; you’re in a single-leg position with your knee driven up to 90 degrees, and you’re required to make an upper-body movement based on where your defender is going. Also, when you’re coming down from a rebound, you come down on one leg and need to stabilize on that glute.
