Cut for nothing

I am sadly amused watching college and (even more so) high school players cutting hard through the middle of the paint, just like they are supposed to do - and almost never receiving the ball. It seems like a futile exercise. Why draw up a system that uses a cutter if you are not going to teach your players to hit the cutter? Sure, it takes exact timing, but it can be done. Just another symptom of our offensive system that operates entirely from the outside these days. Inside the perimeter is No Man's Land.
