Stride Stop 101: The Secret Move That Transforms Your Paint Game
During Jay Wright’s tenure, Villanova was known for their ability to play off 2 feet in the paint. It was a separator for them.
But what exactly does play off 2 feet mean? It could mean a number of different things.
When it comes to playing off 2, one of your best options is the stride stop.
Unfortunately, it’s one of the more challenging footworks to teach.
While jump stops come naturally to most players, stride stops can be difficult to learn. Many players get frustrated and never master this move.
As a result, they limit themselves when they get to the paint. Make sure that’s not the case for you and your players!
What Exactly Is a Stride Stop? Unlock This Key Finishing Move
What is a stride stop? Like a jump stop, a stride stop is a 2 foot stop. Unlike a jump stop, your feet don’t hit at the same time.
Instead, your outside foot hits first.
The stride stop is useful in a couple driving situations:
-When a help defender comes across to take a charge.
-When the on ball defender is physically on the inside shoulder.
Coach Matt Lewis teaches the stride stop as a key element of The Flow Motion Offense.

PRACTICE TO GAME RATIO
This is one of the things that is backwards in our country. Yes, you need to play. Yes, you can learn while playing…. But how many High School/College games do you see where players don’t know how to Space, Screen, Execute, Pass, Finish with Both Hands….
We spend our youth years trying to win games and tournaments instead of learning how to play. You can’t get that time back to build your foundation.
