score against physical defense
I have found that we often have success against teams that allow us to cut (front or rear), but we struggle running the read and react and getting scoring opportunities against defenses that stay between their girl and the rim and really bump any cutters. What has anyone done that is effective against this kind of defense?

1. Take the bump as a signal to leg whip and post up. You don’t have to have a “back to the basket” game. Become a passer from here. Receive the pass, look for the Laker Cutter and then pass inside-out to one of your teammates filling along the perimeter.
2. Take the bump as a signal to leg whip and post up. If you don’t receive the ball, then when the ball is passed, backscreen the cutter and then “shape-up” for the ball (get open wherever you want the ball – 3 point line, re-post, on the porch).
3. Take the bump as a signal to immediately backscreen a teammate one spot away from the ball. Then “shape-up” for the pass and shoot or drive.
4. Take the bump as a signal to set your posting teammate (if you have one on the weakside) a screen. “Invite” them to flash to the ball off your screen.
In this manner, the defense is shooting themselves in their own foot. By bumping your players, they are triggering more complex actions that involve more cutting and screening and inside-out actions.

Look at the “Zone Attack”. I have found success in using the short corners (3 out 2 in) and changing the way we cut, to be effective. I don’t mind sharing more; you can email me directly if you want. [email protected]. My name is Rodney Lake (Coach Lake). Good luck this season, Coach.
