“FAT” is a made up word for “Fake And Threaten.”
This is almost like skirmishing in that you want to use it constantly to disrupt what the offense is trying to accomplish. FAT can be anything that indicates to the player with the ball that you are about to do something that you are not really about to do. Such as when you are guarding a man inside, but you want to give the impression to the outside man that you will not allow her to shoot an uncontested shot.
A good defender is not content with just running around with her man. She wants to get back and face the ball, and be prepared to fake and threaten the ball to discourage a shot, pass or penetration.
