chairlift tactic in basketball ?

I agree, basketball is too fast and unlike netball you can dribble the ball around a statue defense!

Some defensive zones may resemble this tactic at times, but I can't see this working in hoops, thank goodness...

Could be a sight to see in netball though (if you get what I mean)?

It is worthwhile noting the team using it was a NZ team. In rugby union lineouts the lift is used, so I guess that's where the inspiration came from.

It's a tactic that has short term success. If you are a shooter and you know it's coming, like Mystro said, ball movement will defeat it. Either pass off to the free player, or else wait for them to commit to being in the air and then wait for them to be coming down (a bit like streetball)

that move requires 2 people to defend 1 player, ball movement will defeat it every time
