Coaching points
- When the fast break is shut down, don't stop and wait for everyone. Take it down the side and into the box, and keep it moving.
- The trail cut is usually the most open cut. If it isn't there, put the ball behind the cage: from there she feeds the trailing cutters.
- Challenge the crease wider and higher. If the drive-and-dump or the backdoor is wide open, they are sliding early.
- Wagner's next looks: the X-cut pipe to pipe, then reload a middie to the middle for a skip-pass 1 v 1, which works against zones. Then into your settled offense.
