[quote=Anonymous]It's kind of hard to say without actually seeing what happened.

I've seen cases where players and parents complained that there were too many ballhogs and their player wasn't getting the ball.  But at the same time their player would always be standing around and not in the right/good places.  And when the ball does go to them, it either falls at their feet or go right by them.  And when there are players on the floor that do know how to play, the players accused of being ballhogs have no issues in giving the ball up to them.

But it could very well be while the player you're describing has the skills and aggressiveness, may not have developed the court vision or awareness.

Either way, stealing a ball from a teammate is a bad look and I wouldn't recommend.  You can suggest your kid to be more vocal for the ball.  As well as always trying to put themselves in position for the ball.  ie if they can get a turnover or rebound, they'll get a chance for the ball.  Or during inbounds play they can stay close and keep asking for the ball even if the "ballhog" is there waiting for the ball too.[/quote]
