Coaching points

• The top middie without the ball runs across in front of the carrier. Don't run into the carrier's defender: a moving pick is a foul.
• His defender has to go with him, so the other side of the top is empty. The carrier dodges down that alley.
• The cutter fills in up top behind the dodge, so someone is back if the shot misses.
• This is Belgium's Swipe, a coach's variation.
