This dribble is frequently used when a basic crossover dribble could be stolen. The behind-the-back dribble consists of moving the ball from one hand to the other hand by bouncing it behind one's back. It is used as a safer way to cross over while directly facing a defender, but requires more slowing of forward momentum than the normal crossover dribble. This is a commonly used variation of the crossover in which the ball-handler bounces the ball off of the floor between their legs and catches it with the other hand on the opposite side of their body.
This can often be achieved by a simple head fake, or a step in that intended direction.
A crossover functions best when the ball handler looks and acts like they are headed in one direction, before crossing over to the other direction. The crossover is a common dribbling move and is used when changing direction.
In a crossover, the ball handler changes the ball from one hand to the other using a single dribble.
