Examples from the "UCLA Cut"

1810 views ·
The UCLA cut is an offensive basketball strategy developed by coach John Wooden that focuses on the fundamentals of passing, screening, and cutting to create a variety of scoring opportunities, primarily near the basket but also near the perimeter.

The UCLA cut emphasizes a type of cut that occurs when a player cuts to the basket through a back screen set by a high post player.
