hanging on the rim

[Pantherdreams]

Not trying to advocate for the devil but . . .

Since I rarely see coaches, trainers or camps that teach dunking. Most kids learn to do it from peers or emulation. As a result there is very little consistent technique or application in terms of dunking. So if a kid goes up to dunk and pulls himself (or herself i guess) up, but every time they've dunked that is what they've done to land back down veritcaly instead of staggered or off balance. Then the chin up is really what they are doing to protect themselves.

If a kid is not hanging on the rim for a long time, slapping back board, or hanging by 1 arm acting like Tarzan up there - we probably just need to let i go.
