The cut coming off the key from the base line is the toughest distance to cut and shoot because of the distance that needs to be pivoted to face the basket.
Square up to the basket keeping your balance going into the shot.
Make a real effort to go straight up and straight down on this shot. Any movement leads to shooting at a moving target and it will be hard to adjust
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
The ball screen produces almost half of all professional offensive possessions, yet most teams still teach it as a memorised play. The modern approach trains the read - giving players a framework to decide based on what the defence does, not what the coach called.
