A used-up dribble changes all the rules of defense. Suddenly, no one needs help, the ball cannot penetrate to the basket, and a pass must be thrown within five seconds.
That means it is time to climb all over your man. Overplay her so she cannot get to the ball. If you're guarding the man with the ball, get in her face... and try to force her into throwing a bad pass or an off-balance pass that is rushed.
Don't double-team a man who has already used her dribble. Stay on your own man and prevent the pass. Don't be content to let your man use up her dribble and then just stand there, away from her, as though you still respect her speed and dribbling ability. When a man has used her dribble, get on her -- all over her (without fouling).
