Defending Face cuts
| 1 Tom Billeter Men's Basketball HoopScoop
Attacker 1 passes to coach and tries to face cut defender X2, who jumps to the ball on the pass and tries to push 1 behind. Matt Woodley - X2 jumps to his gap and back pedals (never turn to your back to the ball). Dwane Casey - sprints to the gap then back-pedals slowly, like a football free safety, and is there to help if coach drives baseline. (Option) - the first pass is a shell pass, 1 doesn't cut, X2 jumps to a gap position, closes out on a return pass to 1. See Defending - Boone 1 on 1 (2 on 1 closeout). |
| 2 Rotate offence to defence, 1 closes out on a pass to next attacker 3, X2 goes off, 3 will pass back to coach and basket cut. (Progressions) - the cutter empties weakside, the defender splits the floor, does not over-pursue, don't hug your check on the weakside - smash a flash - skip pass - post up - 1 on 1 |
