“The Play” UCLA Backdoor
The Play. This beat defending NCAA champion UCLA 43-41 on a backdoor cut.
On a spin dribble by 1, the 5 fills the high post and catches as the 3 fills the corner.
On the catch by 5, 3 cuts baseline about 50% speed to setup 3 for next cut.
1 and 4 set a double screen at the opposite elbow for 2.
This is a distraction.
As 2 is cutting off the double screen pulling the weak side help away from the basket.
5 sells this action as dribbling to the top of the key then spin dribbles back to 3.
3 cuts violently to the rim for the backdoor layup.
