My friend @Mobilecat2 requested some of the terminologies of offensive actions used by Mark Pope. For anyone who has Twitter, Chris Steed is really good. I am going to copy and paste two of his posts from a month ago. Let me say this first. I use "NASCAR" because that is what Jimmy Dykes calls it on ESPN. That is a hard cut just like a player would come and get a handoff. Instead of that the cutter keeps going and curls over the screener to the rim. It is basically cutting like an oval. Let me know if this helps.
