What makes guarding illegal?
Learning how to effectively guard in basketball can positively affect your game. While guarding is legal in games, there are times where positioning makes it illegal. When you are guarding your weight should be on the balls of your feet and your feet should be shoulder with apart. The offensive playing will probably try to fake you out with their arms, head, eyes, or shoulder. The best way to gage where your opponent is going to go is to look at the direction the center of their body is moving.
