push pass

Two-handed court feed

A push pass is a technique in basketball and other sports where the ball is propelled with a pushing motion rather than thrown overhand.

In basketball, it's executed by extending the arms forward from the chest, giving quick, controlled delivery to a nearby teammate.

Hockey and soccer use similar mechanics for short, accurate transfers.
