Coaches’ Corner: Stagger with Backdoor Cut

This is a great action for a team that likes to run dribble hand off actions. 

Out of a horns set (you can use other sets to get into it), you are going to run a stagger action away from the ball. 

If you have been running DHO action, you start the DHO action toward #2. #2 take two strong steps toward the dribbler then cuts hard backdoor. 

This is the set that the Indiana Fever has used regularly. I have seen a DHO team run regular DHO action in the first half, then run this action to open the second half. It usually produces a layup.
