Cuts
In basketball, An Iverson Cut (often called an I-Cut) is an offensive tactic/play where an offensive player starts on one side of the court (most often the wing area) and cuts horizontally across the top of the key, usually taking advantage of multiple set screens.
A backdoor cut occurs when an offensive player, typically on the perimeter but can be anywhere on the court, sees their defender overplaying or denying the passing lane.
A fill cut (sometimes called a blast cut) is when a player fills an empty spot on the court, usually after that spot was vacated due to a cut or other action by the player previously positioned there. Most motion offenses rely heavily on fill cuts, making them a critical skill to master.
A baseline cut is an off-ball movement where an offensive player cuts along the baseline (the boundary line at the end of the court) to create separation from their defender and get into a better position for a pass or scoring opportunity.
A basket cut (sometimes called a dive cut) in basketball is any direct cut towards the hoop, usually in hopes of creating a layup opportunity.
