A short coaching video by Ethan Khoza explaining why players should generally take more dribbles when driving to the basket. The speaker argues that players are usually guilty of taking too few dribbles; taking extra dribbles helps absorb contact or contests and preserves balance for a proper finish at the rim.

In fact, I'll go as far as to say that when in doubt, it's better to take too many dribbles on your way to the basket than not enough. Even in some of these clips where it might seem a little bit overkill, the amount of dribbles that are used. The point of it is, chances are you're much more guilty of not using enough dribbles than you are of using too many. And the big thing to remember is that if there's any sort of contact or any sort of contest on your drive to the rim, you're probably going to need more than one dribble to get there and still be on balance for your finish.
