Bounce pass
01
a pass where the ball is thrown to the floor so that it bounces to a teammate in basketball
What is a "bounce pass"?
A bounce pass in basketball is a way of passing the ball where the player bounces it on the floor before it reaches a teammate. The ball should hit the ground about halfway between the passer and the receiver, making it easier for the receiver to catch. This type of pass is often used to get around defenders and is a safer option than a direct pass. It requires good control and timing to ensure the ball bounces properly and is received smoothly.
Examples
He used a bounce pass to get the ball past the defender.
The point guard made a quick bounce pass to the center.
