Patrick Anderson - Skill Saturday #14 - Reverse Layups

In this video, I share a few tips for practicing reverse layups. Some of my earliest wheelchair basketball memories are ones in which I'm sitting under the hoop, trying to hit as many in a row as possible. There's something fun and flashy about hitting a reverse layup, which is something my first coach Jeff Penner displayed as a player, and made no attempt to discourage as a coach. But underneath the flash, it's a workman's tool, and he made me put the hours in too. It's an especially useful skill for low pointers and/or shorter players who don't often have the option of pivoting to square up and/or post up. At the international level, it seems like there's more defensive height and length than ever. Windows of opportunity in the paint are shrinking. If you want to finish inside, you want to hone this skill. Enjoy.
