Coaching Points
- Alternate calling 'top' or 'cut' to give the passer a clear decision
- Diagonal cuts must be sharp — jog-cuts are easy to defend
- The receiver in the second line must be stationary and ready before the pass arrives
- Maintain consistent spacing between stations throughout the sequence
- The final shot should come without extra dribbles — take it in stride
