Short coaching clip by Ethan Khoza explaining that driving in basketball is rarely a straight-line action; players usually curve their driving angle because defenders are in front of them, and this curved movement should be practiced as a specific skill. The clip focuses on on-court movement mechanics and practical training emphasis.

Because a lot of times on drives, you're not just driving straight lines, right? Basketball is not really a straight line game when you're driving. Sometimes it is, but usually the only time it's going to be straight line is when you're in layup lines. And the majority of the game, if you're driving, there's going to be a little bit of a curve on your angle when you're driving. Think about it, you almost always have a defender who's somewhat in front of you, so you can't really ever drive just straight. You're usually going to be driving on a little bit of an angle every single time. But that's a part of movement, and it's a specific type of movement that we need to work on.
