A good motion offense is hard to guard; all the while maintains good floor balance and spacing. This is done by cutting and replacing. Continuous blast cuts is a two line shooting drill that teaches just that. Our primary motion cut after passing off the top is toward the basket (aka basket cut). When that happens it is important to fill the open spot from the weakside with a blast cut. In doing so we like to emphasize the following:
2 Step Rule - Take your defender two steps toward the basker before blasting to the top.
Recruit the Glute - Blast off of your baseline foot.
Change of Speed - We like to say go in slow and come out fast.
Outside Hand - Provide and pass to the outside hand away from the defense.
Inside Pivot - We teach the inside pivot.
On the catch, square up to the basket and look RPA (rim, post, action). This drill progresses through four phases:
Catch & Shoot
Shot Fake Blow-by
Foot Fake Crossover
Back-cut
This is a great team shooting drill to incorporate at all levels: elementary ages to professional!
