Open-post motion
 | 1 Layups to drill cuts and drives in open-post motion. Work both sides, rotate lines as needed. 3) Backcut entries Progressions - use coaches as passers, then players - guided defender - 1 on 1 - 2 on 2. See Tactics - 3-spot pass-cut-fill, also Teaching basic 4-out motion, Offence - 5-out youth motion. |
 | 1) Wing-top-wing passing a) Stationary pass i) Basket cut Pass to coach (a stationary pass) and basket cut for a return pass. Progressions - the return pass can be early or late (at the rim) - add a guided defender, who jumps to the ball (cut behind) or not (face cut) - 1 on 1 - replace coach with a line of players. See Layups - Give and go, Jr. NBA cutting, 1 on 1 - Ganon Baker give and go, 1 on 0 to 1 on 1. |
 | 3 ii) Draft drive Two lines of players. 1 passes and basket cuts, 2 drives behind the cut (a draft drive), 1 exits opposite the drive. Progression - 2 can pass to 1 or draft drive. |
 | b) Wing-top blast cut i) Two coaches, two balls. 3 blast cuts out top for a pass (or backcuts), attacks left or right (a dynamic attack), rebounds and passes to the first coach. See Shooting - Huggins cutting. |
 | 5 ii) Use combination play to work on game timing and triggers. 1 passes and cuts from the top, 3 makes a delayed blast cut (maintaining a double gap for a draft drive). Here 3 back cuts. Switch lines. Option - replace coach with a line of players in the corner, who blast cut for a pass from out top. Progressions - a) the corner blast cutter attacks or makes eye contact with the opposite wing for another blast cut, b) 1 can initially pass and hold on a dynamic pass, then backcut if there is no attack (see below). See 1 on 1 - Fill cuts, Blog Post - Blast cuts. |
 | c) Corner-wing blast cut i) Blast cut from the corner, dynamic backcut or attack baseline or middle (shown). See Layups - Blast cuts, Jr. NBA cutting (with V-cuts). |
 | 7 ii) Work on two-player options. Two lines of players. 4 blast cuts for a pass, 3 basket cuts, - 4 hits the cutter - 4 draft drives behind 3 - 4 attacks immediately, 3 breaks off the basket cut (shown). |
 | 8 Or 3 passes and holds, 4 attacks baseline or middle, 3 reacts to the drive (push, pull, Euro cut). Progression - 4 passes to 3. In a game, 3 can backcut if 4 does not make a play, opening up a blast cut from the right wing. |
 | 9 iii) 3 blast cuts wing-top for a pass from coach, then 4 blast cuts corner-wing for a pass from 3, who basket cuts or holds (shown). 4 blast cuts on eye contact with 3, who does not make a play. Progression - 3 can attack or make eye contact for a blast cut by 4.  |
 | 2) Corner passing a) Stationary pass to the corner, basket cut for a return pass. Progressions - 5 draft drives behind 2 - pass back to 2 or draft drive. |
 | 11 b) Top-wing blast cut. Blast cut to the wing from out top, dynamic attack, or backcut. The blast cut is delayed in game, allowing 5 to draft drive behind a basket cut. |
 | 12 c) 2 passes to coach in the corner, basket cuts, 3 blasts cuts for a pass and attacks. |
 | 13 d) 1 blast cuts from the top to the wing for a pass, on eye contact 3 blast cuts to the top for a pass from 1 (in a game, 1 does not make a play to attack). Progression - 1 can attack or make eye contact for a blast cut by 4 - coach exchanges position with the line out top, blast cut corner to wing, attack or blast cut from the other wing (see 1(b)(ii) above). |
 | 3) Backcut entries a) Draft drive 2 backcuts, 1 drives behind the cut, 2 exits opposite the drive. A player in the right corner would delay a blast cut, giving 1 time to draft drive. Option - 1 can pass to 2 off the dribble. Progression - 1 can pass and cut or initiate a backcut with a pass fake. See Offence - MacKay single-double gaps. |
 | 15 b) Back cut, blast cut Two lines plus passer. 2 back cuts, 5 blast cuts for a pass and dynamic attack, 2 exits opposite the attack. If 5 delays the blast cut, 2 needs to exit before a drive. Progression - replace coach out top with player 1 (rotate 1-2-4), backcut, blast cut, - 1 passes and basket cuts, 2 draft drives - 1 passes and holds, reacts to a middle or baseline drive (see above). |
 | c) Dribble-at backcut Two lines.1 dribbles at 3, who backcuts for a one-hand bounce pass off the dribble. Variation - for a righty going left, use a two-hand pickup, flick bounce pass with the right-hand hand, the left hand is a guide hand. Progressions - dribble hand-off - guided defender - 1 on 1 - 2 on 2. In a game, a dribble-at can be used to get the ball to a wing, 3 backcuts and clears. See Layups - Jr. NBA cutting, Shooting - Dribble handoffs. |
 | 17 d) Elbow flash 3 is overplayed, 4 flashes to the elbow for a pass, 3 backcuts for a pass. Rotate lines. Progression - no pass to 3, 1 cuts for a handback from 4. See Offences - New South Wales open-post motion, Passing game. |
