Setup
Three offensive players: a wing with the ball, a baseline screener on one block and a cutter in the opposite corner. Three defenders match up.
How it runs
- The screener sets a baseline screen for the cutter coming across the lane.
- The screener's defender calls the screen and bumps the cutter to slow him down.
- The cutter's defender goes over the screen on the top side and beats the cutter to the block.
- Once the cutter's defender is in position, the bump defender recovers to his own man, who may flash to the elbow.
- Play live for 10 seconds.
Coaching point
Call the screen early.
