@10:20 "Don't bring your feet together"
Why not? You can be 2x faster by crossing your feet. Why are coaches still teaching their defenders to be slow?
@18:00 lol the defender is trying to play defense like coach said and he gets blown by.

[@herescanny6194]

I’d imagine if you cross your feet together, you can’t easily react to a defender when they switch direction. If you’re open, you may be slower, but [I think] you’d be able to get more explosiveness to switch directions and catch up to a crafty ball handler

not a lot of people understand the meaning nor importance of "wide-to-wider". not even among professionals

[@mattvm00]

Biomechanically - Primarily Balance and Lack of Mobility when feet are not acting as a stable base for movement. In order to get faster you drop step and run while looking and playing the ball....which is faster than crossing your legs together anyway.
