What it is
- When to Pull It Out and Reset is an individual basketball skill that pull-out occurs when the offense recognizes that the primary fast-break opportunity is no longer available and.
- The pull-out decision should be made quickly (often before the offense reaches the perimeter) to avoid stagnation.
- A pull-out that occurs near the basket is inefficient because the offense has used multiple dribbles but is resetting from the same area of the court.
Why it matters
- A pull-out that occurs near the basket is inefficient because the offense has used multiple dribbles but is resetting from the same area of the court.
- An early pull-out (at the three-point line or wing) is more efficient because it allows the reset to occur with good spacing.
How it works
- The ball handler making the pull-out decision must recognize that additional attackers are no longer trailing and that the defense is setting into coverage.
- At this point, it's better to reset and run a half-court action than to force a poorly-positioned attack.
