What is that tall guy at the back doing at 1:35? lol

[@tamarindtea3213]

How many times do you have to tell college players to touch the ground? wow.

[@sands1966]

Especially when they know it's being recorded! lol

Touching the ground is useless to the game of basketball. In the context of the game when does a defender touch the ground with his or her hand while guarding?

[@JasperAKwayu]

Useful against low crossover dribbles...

[@PhoenixSunsNZ]

Agreed, it's also just simply to teach them to get low. If they didn't have to touch the ground most will just be lazy.

Touching the ground is also one of the best ways of evading or getting stuck in a screen. It helps.... 🤷🏾‍♂️

C'mon Coach ( or maybe not with a question like that). Touching the ground is a tool to ensure the players stay low while they are moving. When the offensive guy is dribbling the ball, it comes in contact with the ground, which is where you want the defenders to be.
