QUIN SNYDER: As we build up various skills, we are going to see other aspects of the game come in to play. Right now, Squeaky is playing defense on KP and he is going to shoot the ball. When we are in a competitive situation, we want to guard the man with the ball but we also want to rebound the ball if the shot is not made. Right now, let us talk about a block out. Serge, right here, sees his man. He is playing defense. As the ball is shot, he has got to find his man first. His next thing, the next thing he wants to do is to get contact on his man. After he has got contact on his man, now he has got to find the basketball. So find your man, get contact on your man and go pursue the ball. Let us see how that works right. Justin, why do not you start on the bull there. KP, you just shoot the ball. You just shoot the ball and Serge is going to rebound it. JB, try to get to the board. Here we go. Good. Okay, good, good. And really, that was a good shot to see because the ball did not come right to him. And the fact that he blocked out and held the man off allowed him to get a ball that was not in his area. So the block out, again, an important part of team basketball.
