Don’t dodge if there is an open man. Don’t hold the ball long unless you are planning a dodge. Keep it moving with quick, short passes.
Dodging
Never try to dodge when men are in a position to back up.
Balance the Field
Always keep your field balanced in order that you stay in better position to back up, and give your teammates space to work in.
Take Quality Shots
Shoot plenty, but only if you feel you have a good shot. Shoot to get hot, shoot to stay hot.
