One of my favorite old School rules; โ€œGuard your Yardโ€. This means no direct drives! Get low and slide a โ€œYardโ€ right or left. Great Defense starts in the Front โ€œYardโ€ Nobody gets to the paint!

A great Point Guard is comfortable and effective playing at 3 different speeds.. 1) A fast paced push the ball full court offense 2) A secondary break with multiple screens and reads 3)A half court rock fight that values each possession The best can play a variety of ways!

A Great Point Guard can balance being aggressive and being patient. The body needs to be in attack mode while the brain patiently evaluates. The ability to determine when to attack is called Basketball IQ!!!
