For a simple deep half guard pass, I again turned to the Paul Schreiner Precise Pressure Passing app I've been reviewing. Grab their knee and drive it to the ground. That then means you can turn the knee of your trapped leg downwards as well. This enables you to bring your free leg over their head. Slide that down, so your hip on the trapped leg side is next to their hip. Get a strong cross-face on their head, then use your free hand to re-grab their leg (ideally, hooking it with your arm to prevent any rolling towards you). You can then wriggle your leg out, switching to side control.

Teaching Notes: Emphasise the angle you're sliding through, as people can get confused and point their foot, ending up facing the wrong way.
