Finally, a one knee drop creates all sort of unpredictable rebound possibilities and puts you in no position to respond to the rebound. When playing against high level shooters the only way to really handle a breakaway is to come out, get low, take away everything but 5 hole and be ready to close up.

Couldnt agree with this more. High level shooters' eyes light up when they see a 5 hole opening. I like to lure them into to it as well and then take it away.
