| 3 Progressions
a)
Coach is under the basket, when players go to the basket on a baseline drive or backdoor cut they finish with an outside-inside power layup if he keeps his arms down, or pivot away for a shot if he puts his hands up.
Variation - players pull up for a shot if coach shows his chest in the drive line to the basket, take a power layup if coach shows only an arm in the drive line, or take a normal layup if coach is not in the area.
See Shooting - Pasquali reaction, Layups - Pass and cut opposite.
|
| 4 b)
A coach defends on each wing, and can deny and force a backdoor cut, or on a catch force middle (play on the low side), force baseline (play on the high side) or force a shot (sag off).
