Timing is considered first when executing a double team. Although a double team can be initiated at any time during a defensive sequence, it is usually best used after the player with the ball has already begun or has just finished dribbling.
A second technique for executing a double team is for the primary and secondary defenders to place their feet next to each other (i.e., lock their feet together) to prevent the player with the ball from dribbling away.
