Coaching Points
- Screener approaches from behind the defender — quiet, controlled steps to avoid a foul
- Cutter reads when the screen is set before committing to the cut
- Use a V-cut before the back screen to pull the defender into position
- Ball handler delivers the pass the moment the cutter clears the screener's shoulder
- Cutter attacks the goal directly after using the screen — do not decelerate
