Team Defense Defending against the cutter. A cutter is one who passes off and breaks for the basket looking for a return pass,like a give and go. |

Here we see the 1 pass off to the 3,and go to the basket looking for the pass. The defensive 1 "jumps to the ball" one step so he/she can stay in front of the cutter and deny a pass.The defensive 1 keeps with the cutter untill the cutter goes for the 3 point line. |

The other players rotate to fill the spots left vacant from the cutter.

if the 4 is the cutter,the defensive 4 does the same,he/she jumps to the ball,one big step and keeps cutter behind of her/him.This works great except where there is a great height disadvantage.
