Entertainment / Basketball / Behind The Back Dribble: A basic move in which the ballhandler simply bounces the ball behind the back to the opposite hand, but note that the ball is not intended to go around the body as in the basic 'wraparound.' This move is used to avoid an easy strip, to 'stall', or to 'pick.' It can be used to avoid an easy strip as an alternative to bouncing the ball in front of you for a tricky crossover. To stall means to overlook what can be setup on the court while still maintaining control over the ball. A pick is virtually the same as a stall but a pick is continuous, meaning that the ball is bounced back and forth behind the back; a pick may also be performed between the legs. The best choice when to use this move would be in the case of a teammate's unavailability, to outrun your defender, and/or to drive the ball closer to the hoop due to the lack of space between the ballhandler and defender.
