How to teach it

  • 1Both guards pull playside; playside kicks out, backside leads up while the wing down-blocks the edge.
  • 2Back presses the hole and cuts off the lead guard's block.
  • 3Center scoops to protect the vacated interior gaps.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Back outruns the pullers — teach patience behind the guards.
  • !Wing loses the edge down-block — teach inside leverage on the block.
