Coaching points
- The ISO is made off the ball: the passer cuts away and takes her defender with her, so the wing has a 1v1 with nobody close enough to help.
- The wing waits until the cutter is past her, then drives at full speed. Go too early and you drive into your teammate's defender.
- Everyone else keeps her defender busy with a V-cut or an exchange. Off-ball players who stand and watch let defenders slide.
- If an adjacent defender slides anyway, it's a draw and dump: hit the girl she left. From US Lacrosse's Level 2 workbook and Columbia's motion offense (Howcast).
