Coaching Points
- Wait for the defense to overplay before cutting — read before committing
- The backdoor cut must be hard and straight — a curved run is easy to recover against
- Passer must deliver the ball low and ahead so the cutter catches without slowing
- Cutter should already be deciding shot type before receiving — short angle or flying shot
- If the cut arrives late, adjust to a pivot position and look for the next action
