The Auto-pass is a resource that is used a few times.
There are very few players who are able to take advantage of this trick that allows the regulation.
The auto-pass is usually given in four circumstances:

  • Auto-pass board: the attacker with the ball, takes advantage of the board to throw the ball in such a way that rebound and he can go back for it. Formerly it was forbidden in FIBA be considered a double-dribble. Likening the surface of the board with the soil. The changes 1/10/2018, the rules of FIBA at the end was adapted to the demands of the game. In the NBA he was always legal.
  • Auto-swipe in from the throw – or remove background: The regulation allows a player to take a throw-in or background – can-be who take the ball always and when you have touched before to another person.
  • Auto-pass after shot poorly decided: This is the less common case. A player decides to launch to the basket when you do not have time and enough space to avoid the defender closest to you be sure to block the shot. Instead of making the classic steps (that even today some people confuse the double), the player throws the ball against the defending player and re-take. Legal move.
  • Auto-switch in a dodge, while a player drops the ball: A player that is already dropping the ball thrown by a side (or below the legs of the defender and the exceeds. This situation happens a lot in counter-attacks. Here we leave a video:

Objectives for teaching

  1. Locate the point at which to throw the ball to pick up without difficulties.
  2. If the car-pass is doing a throw-in or background, to put one foot before returning to catch the ball after it launched towards another person.

Most common errors

icon, fail, error
  1. Not located or does not calculate the strength to use for the car-pass.
  2. Does not get any foot before catching the ball after it launched against another person in a kick fund or band. Is out.

The auto-pass is a technical resource to have in mind. It is spectacular to see that some players take advantage of an intuitive manner.

If we like to see how it appears a self-pass in a circumstance unusual, what if we started to make it known?
