About this play
The other answer to a denied reversal: the overplayed guard back-cuts to the rim and the weak corner lifts to replace him. Teach it on day one, because a defense that denies the guard-to-guard pass without fear of the backdoor will shut the offense off at the top. Hoop Tactics' Flex writeup is where I learned to treat the back cut as part of the offense, not a bailout; give it a look if you want the rest of their motion material.
