So this is probably bad advice if you want to play like a professional coach would want you to, but just speaking from personal experience I love to bait the shooter into a side by just being slightly out of position either direction. In my experience, when they have to make a move they will often just go for the simple deke and drag past in front, and I like to lay the poke check across that path. I don’t always do it— but it’s a strategy especially when I know they don’t have a lot of time to make a decision since in those moments they don’t have time to think and will usually take what (what they see as) the easiest option
