In this episode, George takes a closer look at two weak-side cutting principles—the cut and slide and the slot cut and how they connect to the idea of the "dominoes rule": one defender can't guard two players. Using NBA examples and small-sided games, George explores how these principles create passing windows, stretch the defense, and give players opportunities to attack advantages.
