Princeton Offense Counters and Back Cuts
What are back cuts in basketball?
A back cut in basketball is a type of maneuver an offensive player uses to get close to the hoop and escape the defender. If the defensive player is guarding closely against the pass, the shooter can cut to the basket and pick up an easy basket. Back cuts are just one of twelve types of common cuts used by coaches. They help open up the game and pinpoint a defense's weakness.
What is the Princeton Offense?
An offensive basketball strategy which consists of constant motion, different variations of cuts and pick and rolls on and off the ball. Objectively to create opportunities to score the ball. The Princeton offense uses tactics such as the chin, low and point. The chin is also known as a high split option, a great tool for a passing big man. It was used and perfected at Princeton University by Pete Carril. This strategy is designed for players who can shoot, dribble and pass at an above average level. In an attempt to create mismatches, this system makes positions less significant and on the offensive there is no 1,2,3,4 or 5.
The Princeton offense has become very effective and popular as many teams in the NCAA have been known to use the offense as well. Because of its popularity it's become accessible to those who want to use it. Introducing Quinn Mcdowell's program..
