• Create, see and punish an advantage

  Making a numbers edge or a step on your defender, recognising it and using it at once.idea · layers 1–3

• Drive first

  Going to the basket and making space for a good shot is not selfish. Passing straight away without a reason or a goal is.idea · layers 1–3

• Drive reactions

  When a teammate drives, you move to a spot where they can find you: corner, behind the drive, to the rim.idea · layers 2–3

  In pass-and-cut the first cut rarely works. The cut from two or more passes away is the dangerous one.idea · layers 2–3

• Good shot

  A good shot is in balance, within range, uncontested, after a good pass or a drive with a small advantage.idea · layers 0–3

• Lanes and corners in transition

  After winning the ball, sprint forward wide, fill the corners and get the ball up fast.idea · layers 1–3

• Look before you catch

  Before the ball arrives, glance around: where is my defender, the rim, the open player.habit · layers 1–3

• Help and recover

  Stopping a drive as the helper and getting back to your own player before the pass arrives.idea · layers 2–3 · defence

• Foresee the advantage, don't gamble

  Defending against the advantage: not giving it, seeing it coming and recovering when it's there. Only go for the ball when the team is safe behind you.idea · layers 2–3 · defence
