Basketball: V Cut then lay up from the baseline

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

Player on the baseline is a cutter and player on the top is a passer.

The cutter runs towards the key until one foot is inside the key then they change direction and move towards the ball. When they are free they must signal for the ball with their outside hand.

Once they receive the ball they can then square up towards the basket and go for a shot or drive for a lay up.
