Coaching points
- When you see the back of your defender's helmet, cut backdoor to the inside.
- The crease player pops out of the way as you cut; everyone else rebalances.
- Throw it to where the cutter will be, round the pipe, not to where he is. It's the attack triangle's first option (Kaley and Donovan).
