message: This material was removed once, but I replaced it.  Even though these moves might be basic, they still provide some valuable information to those not as familiar with the game.  If anyone wishes to remove this information, please discuss it here before doing so. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 11:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This really does not explain what the crossover dribble actually IS. Rather it goes directly to describe what it DOES. Can someone please expand on this and write the IS part? (I lack the expertise to do that myself).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.190.78 (talk) 20:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crossover dribble 

message: It's only been done one time in the NBA, and that was in an All star game. Does it need a paragraph longer than that on the hesitation dribble?
I second that this should not receive its own paragraph. There could, however be a paragraph for "miscellaneous/trick passes" and this one could be mentioned there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.190.78 (talk) 20:16, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Why does "tear drop" redirect here?  Is this really the first thing the average person thinks when they see those words?  I think a better redirect would be to the disambiguation page Teardrop. Mbarbier (talk) 17:21, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I'm invoking WP:BOLD and changing the redirect.  I just really think it's silly as it is.  If you disagree, you can change it back and let's talk about it. Mbarbier (talk) 17:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Over the next few weeks, for a school project, I plan on adding to the post moves section of this article.
I'm currently reading NBA Coaches Playbook: Techniques, Tactics, and Teaching Points, written by 28 coaches and players with NBA and college experience.
The post moves chapter, written by Kareem Abdul-Jabar, has 15 pages of valuable insight and instruction, so there are techniques and tactics I'd like to use to expand this article.
I may also use an instructional DVD by Rick Torbett called Better Basketball: Better Post Play, as well as the book Basketball Skills and Drills, by Jerry V. Krause, Don Meyer, and Jerry Meyer, which contains 20 pages about playing the post.

thread_title:  Adding to Post Moves Section 

message: I was wondering why there is a section labeled "Shots" and another labeled "Shooting."
The subsections for "Shots" are; Layups, Reverse Layup, Finger roll, Tear drop, Power stop/drive, Double clutch, Bank shot, and Putback and tip-in.
The subsections for "Shooting" are; Pull-Up Jumper, Turnaround jump shot, and Fadeaway.
Can I merge the two sections?
Another option may be to rename "Shots" as a section labeled "Layups." I would also then rename "Shooting" as "Jump Shots," and move the Bank shot subsection under "Jump Shots."
Any ideas or opinions?

message: In the description for the move "In and Out Dribble," the author wrote "Jeron Melroy of the Los Angeles Clippers has used this move to great effect." I did not recognize the name so I googled “Jeron Melroy Clippers” and every website result has the same sentence ("Jeron Melroy of the Los Angeles Clippers has used this move to great effect"). I also searched "Jeron Melroy basketball" and "Jeron Melroy NBA," and had no luck verifying that this was a real NBA player. I plan to remove the Jeron Melroy player reference from this article.
