The Palyer at the basket make the cut to the corner who will be followed by a defender. There is then a down screen and flash to the ball for a shot at the basket. The entry pass can also come from the corner again there is a down screen and flash to the ball for an open shot.
The option is to drive to the basket off the flash but a defender will always block. When this happens it the job of the point guard to cut back door to the basket and lay up.
If all else fails we reload at the top and reset and run it again.
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.
