Breakdown

• Start in a 4-out, 1-in set.
• Early action shifts the defense left, clearing the lane.
• 3 drags their defender high, then makes a hard, quick backcut to the rim.
• 2 anticipates the cut and delivers the pass in stride for a layup — no hesitation.

Coaching Tip

Sell the initial movement with your eyes and body to make the backcut deadly. The sharper the cut, the higher the success rate.
