The number one role when dribbling is to keep your head up and look where you are going. If you do not keep your head up you will have the ball stolen off of you all the time. You must also keep the ball low and under control so noone steals it off of you.

One of the worst mistakes a novice basketball player can make is to allow the basketball to go too high during the dribble. This makes the ball vulnerable to a defensive player, wile at the same time preventing the player from moving with agility through the court. Ultimately, a player needs to be able to dribble without watching the ball.
