The control dribble is the most basic method of dribbling and bringing the ball up the floor. Notice how the body is turned sideways with the ball behind (in order to protect it from the defender). Notice the footwork, the shuffle. The forward arm is up in front to ward off the defender (but you cannot push the defender). When dribbling left-handed, turn your body the opposite way with your right arm out in front.
