After getting into the zoom action multiple times a game, it sets up a great opportunity for the offense to burn the defense with a back cut before receiving the dribble hand off. When the defender jumps to the high side looking to blow up the hand off action, it triggers the back door. As I have mentioned in previous posts, if the defender IS NOT between you and the hoop, go back door.
Bonus – the offensive player setting up the back door is crucial. Notice how both offensive players in the video above take one hard step towards the ball before planting and changing direction to go back door. Klay Thompson even uses a little bounce as he prepares for the setup.
