Set Up
Do these on both sides of the field, so you have 4 lines. The lines are up top, and starts with a pass down. That player who just passed the ball, will execute a shallow cut floating to the space/area their teammate just came from. The player will carry the ball up, and throw back to shallow cutter for a shot. Its important to note the shallow cutter should not fade towards the crease, but more to the outside making slide longer for an opposing defender
Coaching Points and Principles
- The shallow cut should be like a banana, cutting on an arc. Don’t just run to the new space
- The ball carrier should add in a little pump fake ahead of them, before throwing back. Make sure they are stepping away to make a good pass
- Catch loaded and try to finish quickly. Aim for far pipe
Progressions
- Simulate a Pick instead of a shallow cut
- Start opposite, pass up, clear throw for a shot up top
