“There's always someone kicking guns. We wanted ["Badlands"] to be a world without guns and bullets, where martial arts was the form of fighting and defense and attack.

“When covering the man with the ball, the defense should be able to touch the ball with his hand. He should assume this touching position as the ball is being received. When the ball is received, the defense should discourage the pass into the post area. The hands should be kept up. Keeping the hands up reduces a tendency to foul and allows a player to move his hands quickly.” MenShouldHandsAbleMovingPlayerPositionHe ManBasketballAreasBallsAssumingDefenseTendenciesPostsCoachingTouchingCoveringDiscouragingFoulBasketball CoachingHands Up Author:Ralph Miller
