Beat Wing Denial: 5 Backdoor Counters

Denial is a gift if your players know the counter. When defenders overplay passing lanes and deny the wing, these five plays turn that pressure into backdoor layups. Each one is drawn frame by frame on a one-page game-day sheet you can clip to a board.

The 5 Counters

• Dribble-At Backdoor (call: "Dribble-At"): the dribble is the signal; the wing cuts behind the denial for a bounce pass
• Pinch-Post Blind Pig Counter (call: "Blind Pig"): high-post flash, backdoor strike and a high-low counter if help collapses
• Screen-Rejection Backdoor (call: "Away"): sell the away screen, reject it and cut down the middle
• Center-Forward Backdoor (call: "Center-Forward"): drift lazy, cut hard off a high-post catch
• Wave-Through Entry (call: "Wave"): get the ball to the high post when the slot pass is denied

On Every Sheet

• 2 to 3 step-by-step court diagrams (13 in all) with numbered timing
• The call word, primary and secondary looks
• Shot clock timing, the trigger and the defensive counter
• Diagram key and a game-day checklist
