Coaching Points
- The fake pass must be convincing — sell it with your eyes and shoulders
- Cutter must read the defender's overplay before committing to the backdoor
- Time the cut so you arrive at the goal-line position as the pass leaves the passer's hand
- Receive on the move and shoot without stopping — hesitation kills the advantage
- If the backdoor is covered, reset and try a new action — don't force it
