SURE passes, not MAYBE passes.

'Poetry in motion' is the best description for watching a player deliever a fancy 'no look' pass for an easy score.  Athletes with that kind of ability (Chris Paul or Steve Nash) are extremely rare.  Only the best ball handlers are able to deliver these type of passes right to the target everytime with consistency.

For the rest of us mere mortals, it takes timing and communication.  You see, every pass is a transaction.  It requires the passer and the receiver to have a "connection."  The passing transaction requires stealthy non-verbal communication.  A knowing glance, nod, or body gesture between the passer and the receiver ensures that the pass transaction is successful.  

Occasionally, a verbal command to the receiver is effective, but may also lead to "telegraphing". All too often, however, players with the ball simply (and blindly) pass to an area that a seemingly open teammate occupies without making sure that a transaction is occurring.  What results are silly turnovers, last minute "check" passes that float into 50/50 ball land, or passes, that even if completed, place the receiver in a vulnerable position against aggressively closing defense.  

A "sure" pass is made quickly, decisively, crisply, and in synch with the receiver.
