Pivot Foot

Basketball Pivot Foot

What do you teach young players when they receive the basketball and turn to face the ring:

-pivot foot = inside foot?

-pivot foot = outside foot?

-inside and outside foot? (when the second option?)

-left/right foot for right/left handed players?

-you leave the choice to the player himself?


And coaching senior basketball players: Can they use the move they have learned when young or do you prefer everybody pivot the way you(the coach) prefer?

Thank you.
