Push and Cut
You push the ball wide as if you are going down the line. Then you cut it back inside before they can turn.
Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Coach says
Push it far enough that they believe it.
Watch out
- Pushing it so far you cannot get it back.
- Cutting back before they have moved.
