Coaching Points
- All outfield players begin moving to wing positions as the free throw is being awarded — not after
- Shooter must transition from thrower to receiver in under two seconds
- LW receives and passes immediately — do not hold when the defense is disorganized
- RW cuts to goal line before the ball arrives — catch and shoot in one action
- Exploit the 6v5: the open player is always there — find them before taking a contested shot
