back in the 80s, USL (the old Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana) had a PG named Drexel Allen that used to dribble the ball almost up to his shoulder height (legally) and he was well known for it. He would lull the defender to sleep with this high dribble style and as soon as the defender would reach, Drexel would get really low with the ball and take off.
