Coaching points
- Quick clamp, pinch the ball and push it past him, through or around his legs. Then run through it and go.
- It counters a face-off man who lasers you or clamps fast, and it often starts a fast break.
- Sources differ on the path, through his legs or around them. What matters is the ball ends up behind him and you get there first.
- Not the same move as popping it back through your own legs to a teammate: that is a different exit (South Lacrosse).
