Coaching points
- Pass, cut, replace: hand it to the wing and cut to the middle right away. If you pass to an attackman, cut backdoor to the crease.
- As he cuts, the crease middie pops out and the other top middie follows into his spot, so the shape is whole again.
- Wing: hit the cutter for a close shot. If his man stays with him, feed the middie who replaced him for a step-down while the cutter clears out. Nothing there: keep it and reset.
