Q: I have a general question about what happens on a pass from a perimeter player to a cutter say on the Pass-Cut move or Read-Line cut (basic level 3 stuff). What are the perimeter players taught to do once the pass goes to the cutter?
Here is a concrete example:
Assume 5 OUT. The point [...]

Q: When the ball is passed from the wing to the corner, the wing cuts, but who fills the now vacated spot. In your DVDs, you mention that you should fill from the baseline up. Given that, should the corner player dribble up to the spot left open?
A: You’ve exposed a poor choice of wording [...]

Q: My question is in regards to the 5 OUT set. I’ve run the Open Post Motion Offense (Bob Huggins) in the past where the wing player was required to first cut to the Free Throw line, then pop out to the top of the key. I found the boys made this “fill” cut more [...]

Q: I have a question about the 5 OUT system and Layer 3 Pass and Cut. If the player in the corner has the ball and passes from the corner to the wing, then cuts to the basket, where does she go after that?
A: When you first begin to teach Layer 3, the only [...]

Q: Consider a 4 OUT set. The ball at strong side left corner. The strong corner drives baseline; the post slides up to the left side elbow to become the 90 degree pass; the right corner drops to the right low corner to become the Natural Pitch; the left point rotates to the left corner [...]

Q: In the 4 OUT set, when a wing passes up to the guard, does that passing wing cut. If so, how does the circle movement work?
A: The wing still cuts. It’s Layer 3 action. Once the habit of passing and basket-cutting has been taught, there shouldn’t be any place in the offense, regardless of [...]

Q: In 3 OUT 2 IN when the ball goes from the wing back to the top. What movement would you have the wing do? I know the normal movement is basket cut and probably fill opposite or cut and replace where you were. I have noticed that usually on quick reversal [...]

Q: In the Pass & Cut layer, what change, if any, do players need to make when passing out of a corner? Also, I may have missed it on the videos, but did you cover how to rotate after a skip pass?
A: 1. If you’re playing from a 5 OUT set and if your team [...]

Q: I am trying to implement the system with my 7th grade team. Since the range of experience varies from 0 to 4 years of AAU basketball, many of my kids panic when they get the ball with a live defender on them. I want to simplify this for them at the beginning in [...]

Q: I really emphasize ball movement, changing sides of the floor, and making the defense work. One of the R&R habits is pass and cut, but if you make two extra passes to the open guy (swinging the ball), do you have two guys cutting at the same time? To me, it seems like that [...]
