Basketball Fundamentals: Cutting/Screening

Shooting | Cutting/Screening | Handling/ Dribbling | Passing/Catching | Posting

CUTTING

Jab and pop to get open. Not open—back cut. Basket cuts to score by cutting between the ball and your man. Change speed and directions.  Fake a cut to make a cut. Read your man. Occupy your man keep him from helping.   Cut to the lane and space to the spots.  Hands and eyes ready to catch. Shoulder to shoulder cuts off a screen curl, fill, out, back.  3 foot cuts—cut from spot to spot.  WAIT, WAIT, WAIT on the screen.

SCREENING

Screen a defender—not air. Low and wide jump stop. If defense goes ball side change angle. No illegal screens. Slip, second cut or re—screen.  Screens we set:  Down (Back to the ball) , Cross, Flare (at elbow—back to corner), staggered doubles with a post feed. Against switching defenses--specials (small screens big), slips, screen your own man.
