Coach Pike Dribbling Drills

[zappaa]

Check him out and be honest.
Who on this board could do that....not me that’s for damn sure.
Curious if anyone’s skills are that advanced?

He was a D1 basketball player. I'd expect him to be able to do that. I go many months if not longer without picking up a lacrosse stick. When I do, I can do the same stick tricks I have always done. I am sure its the same with you and a baseball.

I’m not surprised at all he can do it Cali.
And yes, I can still do all the ball tricks.

I was just curious if any of our posters were talented enough to give it a try.

I still play hoops pretty regularly, why I don't know. I couldn't do that with two balls, and I have pretty decent handles.

That’s what I’m getting at Cali, what that man is doing controlling two balls...behind the back and crossovers is sick to me

I never tried things with two balls, but use to try a lot of the things Pistol Pete did. Now basically only dribble out the side of my mouth.

Pike does have a rope tight handle

We do two ball drills in high school practice every day . A lot of kids can do these things now because 2 ball dribbling has been a popular training method for more than a few years now. Even younger kids can do a lot of these drills now. Not disparaging Pikes handle , just saying it’s common now .

I do tricks with 2 balls all the time....

Oh wait... never mind...

 

[ScarletDog]

My 15 year old son can do all of that...and with a lot more speed. One thing I didn’t see Pike do is bounce one low and one high...though I’m sure he can do that as well.

good for him. Never stuck with it enough to get there. Had a decent off-hand.. but nowhere near where it should have been.

From my days attending summer basketball camps up until the kids were born, I could easily do all of the Maravich drills. Today... not so much

Yea 2 ball drills are something you need to specifically practice. Even if you have great handle you can't just pick up 2 balls and do those moves. If you practice it you will be able to.

While I can't do that, I would take him in a 3 point contest

A hell of a lot of practice and way above average athleticism - hand/ eye coordination.
Most people have trouble throwing away a balled up piece of paper from more than a foot away....lol

Hot sh#t. You can see why his guys like him & play for him. Guys respect a coach who can do it.

My daughter can backwards and forwards. My dribbling has actually gotten better since we work out together

Def cool Pike can still do it but yes in HS they do it and my 12 year olds train and do that.

man I can’t believe we got a coach that good...I’m like...”oh he’s OUR coach!”

I’d be proud if I were you if you got 12 olds controlling 2 balls while dribbling between their legs.
Still say it’s reserved for the gifted,

Zap it's a lot different from then when we grew up. My daughter at 14 dribbles alot better than I did at 17. I never did the drills she does now. I've been doing them with her and dribble alot better than I ever have.

Trainer has my daughter going between legs, around the back both hands, both legs the whole time shuffling a weighted ball from hand to hand while dribbling

She also has to dribble between both legs, behind the back, pick up the weighted ball while dribbling and one dribble and lay the ball up.

The 2 ball dribbling is like warmup for her other stuff
