RULES
Movement. In general, pass and cut. Keep rotating to fill the spots on the floor.
If you are camped out not moving, you are probably doing something wrong.
Fill the slot positions first, wings second. This especially applies if the rotation has
broken down and we need to reset.
On shot, wings crash. This includes shooter if shot launched from wing. Slots get
back to play defense and defend break. Slots should never crash.
Unless otherwise stated, the big plays on the backside of the ball. He will get his
offense on dump offs and put backs.
