Nice job, coach. As several of us have pointed out, ANY team that runs ANY type of motion offense (SU runs a motion offense, and a secondary motion offense off set plays) drills and drills backdoor cuts when defenders overplay passing lanes, cheat over screens, attempt to beat the O to a spot, etc. This is such a basic concept of the O and the players become ingrained to think and react that way. It never has to be "called" as it is ALWAYS an option. The Princeton motion offense became famous for the precision of all the backdoor cutting. We used to teach our players, particularly when we were trying to set up backdoor cuts, to get your defender leaning one way and cut the other. Ball fakes help. It is coaching O 101 kind of stuff.

Of course, you can always instruct the players to specifically run a backdoor NOW. That's what happened last night and it was wide open.

The way teams over play TC for the last years, he should be making a living off of backdoor cuts...
