Air Force – Offensive Cuts

Clip 1:

  • Post entry triggers the first cut. The second cut straight through the nail comes off the read with the defender jumping to the ball and anticipating the split action.

Clip 2:

  • Forwards out. Teams running any Princeton action with the forwards out entry should get this backdoor once or twice a game. The defender will either be overly aggressive and try to run through the pass, or fall asleep and get too high on the ball side, which triggers the backdoor cut.

Clip 3:

  • Post entry triggers the split. The New Mexico defender again jumps too high, losing his positioning between his offensive player and the hoop. This immediately triggers the backdoor read.
