MAKING CORNERS MAKES YOU HARD TO DEFEND
(continued)

On the other hand, if you make your cut right along the 3-point line, then you have two options.

1.     If your defender is below the 3-point arc with AT MOST only a hand in the passing lane, then make a CORNER and cut out to safely receive the pass on the perimeter. Plant your inside foot and push off perpendicular to the line of your foot in order to recruit the most explosive muscles.

2.     If your defender intends to deny your outside cut, then he or she will be on your line to the ball. In other words, if the area from your defender’s elbow to his head is in the passing lane, then rear cut him. That is, make your CORNER cut straight to the basket by planting and pushing off your outside foot. Again, you will have plenty of space between you and the goal to receive the ball and go strong to the hole.

Finally, if you make your cut inside the arc, then use the traditional V-CUT. This important technique to get you open and score, along with hundreds of other techniques, will be covered in great depth and explained using footage from men’s and women’s professional basketball, on Scoring Without the Ball. Look for it in June - you’ll learn not only to move, but to move with a purpose, so that you are putting yourself in a position to score!

Remember, good players are always making CORNERS when they cut and move. Don’t round off your changes of direction, but instead make sharp CORNERS.
