Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 1202603, member: 2260"] Again, notice how the defender overplays the pass to the perimeter. Ennis reads this and cuts backdoor. As 007 states above, this is a facet of every motion offense as it is a fundamental way to "take what the defense gives." It comes right out of the play's design: it pulls the defense's center away from the basket by having our 5 pop to the top to receive the pass. Depending on how the defense plays the two pin-down screens, the lane is open for back cuts. If they don't overplay the perimeter pass, each of our guards has the option of popping out to the three-point arc or curling the screen if the defender chases. In short, it is a "simple" play that is highly effective if our players read the defense properly. [/QUOTE]
