Pass to the first Open Teammate

PASS TO THE FIRST OPEN PERSON. Passing the ball is faster than dribbling it. If you move the ball, you make the defense adjust and they will eventually make a mistake and leave someone(maybe you!) open. Don´t wait for a better pass. Pass to the first open teammate.

The statement about passing the ball is faster than dribbling is true. But sometimes this tip doesn't work.

I used to pull my players (starter or not) when they didn't pass to the open man. So many coaches refuse to make a team by avoiding this. 5 on 4 is such an advantage.
