Cutting From The Middle Of A Horizontal Stack

Horizontal stack offenses have become the new paradigm in a relatively short time. Many teams have adopted these types of offenses as initiation, rather than continuation, in the face of pressure defenses at all levels of the game. Flat stacks, as they are often called, can put the middle cutters 'on stage'. This allows a position of advantage for those cutters, but with great power comes great responsibility.

We've asked our authors for tips on what to do in the middle positions of a flat-stack to maximize your abilities, your's teams offense, or your D.
