Sure there are clean steals, but it's not how you teach defense.

There's no risk if the reach is clean and the official is a good position to see between the ball-handler and the defender.
My feet are slow, but my hands are fast. Me attempting to beat a quick offensive player to a given spot often resulted in a blocking foul. But I was very successful in "taking someone's cookies" and for blocking shots from behind.
