Hey Coaches,

While watching a JV bball game over the weekend I noticed the offensive guards at the top of the key would try and steal the ball once they turned it over or if there was a rebound and it came out to a player in their area.  At first I thought it was lazy on their part but once the team got pocession they failed to capitalize with a quick outlet and they looked to start the transition with a dribble.  Even though I though it looked like bad defence it was enough to tie up the ball handler some what.  Is this something you should encourage or does the potential for a quick steal out weight the potential negative for a quick pass and transition. A better team in transition might pass it out quicker and take advantage of the defence not falling back quick enought.

Any thoughts.
