Coache’s Corner: Options Off Iverson Cut

 Here are a series of options off the Iverson cut. 

The first option is what is the basic option. #3 catches and wants to immediately wheel and drive. The idea would be if their defender trailed, they are most likely on the high side. This is a simple but great action for a player who always is quicker than their defender.

The second option is to counter when the defense fights to get out to guard #3 on the cut. #3 will curl off the second post and go to the basket. To create the passing angle, the ball needs to be delivered by #5. 

The third option is to hit #2 in this case on the Iverson. If the team switches screens, then have the post screen away, pin and come back low. 

The fourth option is to hit #2 in this case on the Iverson, and have #4 screen for #5 to go into a side ball screen.
