We see the dribbler pivoting on one one foot, looking to make a pass.

We see the defender:

  1. using his feet to slide/shuffle along side the dribbler.
  2. staying in between the dribbler and the basket.
  3. using his arm out wide and up high to prevent the dribbler making a pass.
  4. controlling himself to avoid making contact with his body or with his arms or hands.
