For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) pairing ladder feet with the handle - icky-shuffle crossovers, punch-turn-jab sequences, and pound-over-top crosses.
The ladder: Icky-shuffle crossovers first, then the punch-turn-jab, then pound-over-top crosses.
Variations: Slow feet first, speed once the pattern holds.
In a game: Ladder feet plus a live dribble is exactly the coordination a shifty guard needs in traffic.
