3-spot pass-cut-fill
 | 1 Jr. NBA See YouTube video - 3-person pass-cut-replace, also Jr. NBA - Offence. One ball, one player out top. 1 passes to 3 (or 2) and cuts up the middle to the rim looking for the ball, then goes out opposite. 2 flashes to the top. Facundo Petracci - NCCP Super Clinic 2018 - after passing the cutter can a) cut straight (for a bounce pass), b) take his defender weakside, stop and swim (face cut), or c) cut towards the ball, swim and go backdoor - the cutter takes his defender all the way to the baseline, opens up, seeing the ball, clears weakside. (Progressions) - fill the top through a read spot (v-cut) - replace the cutter after a two-count (late fill) - add a coach who guards the ball out top, the passer reads whether coach jumps to the ball on a pass. In a game, the basket cut by 1 is a scoring opportunity, opens up a double gap for dribble penetration by 3 or a blast cut to the ball by 2. See Offence - 5-out youth motion, |

 | (Progressions) 1) 3 on 0 Three players, continuous passing, the pattern is the same, basket cut only on a pass to a wing. Optionally 2 v-cuts to get open, or goes down to the corner and blast cuts to the wing. 1 cuts and clears to the weakside corner (not to the wing, where a v-cut might be needed to get open). 3 fills late (after a two-count) and fills through a read spot (the elbow). See Layups - Open-post motion. |
 | 4 On a pass out top to 3, after a two-count 1 blast cuts to the wing for a pass, 3 basket cuts and clears, 2 fills late. SNYB - Offensive / defensive concepts - 3 can cut to the basket or exchange away with opposite wing 2. See Scrimmage - Bigelow 3 on 3 with passers, Tactics - 3 on 0 basket cuts, Spurs 3 on 0, Teaching 4-out motion.  |
 | 2) 5 on 0 a) Basket cuts Five players, the passing pattern is the same (no corner passes), basket cut only on a pass to a wing, fill late, |
 | 6 4 fills late on a pass to 3, who passes, basket cuts and clears, 2 fills late through the elbow. This is simple 5-out motion. Progressions - basket cut on - wing-corner passes - wing-top passes - corner-wing passes. |
 | 7 b) Backcuts Players backcut on a pass fake or dribble-at, or if looked at. i) On a pass fake from out top, wing 4 backcuts, corner 1 blast cuts for a pass, 3 basket cuts to stay in the offence. In a game, a wing also backcuts if overplayed or to create space, and would exit opposite a drive from out top. Mike MacKay - How to Teach Cutting - in a single gap, backcut immediately if you are looked at, dribbled at, or pivoted at. |
 | 8 ii) Wing 4 backcuts and clears on a dribble-at, then 2 will fill cut through the read spot. Progression - dribble hand-off option. See 5-out youth motion (Dribble-at). |
 | 9 iii) 3 passes and basket cuts from the top, 2 cuts to the read spot and backcuts (e.g. on a pass fake from 4), third cutter 5 fills the top. NSW open-post motion - cutting on the back of a cutter is effective. See Offence - Petitgoue open-post (Revolve). |
