Cut: The action of moving towards an open area, towards the ball or towards the basket. This allows you to get open and away from your defense to receive a pass.
Flash: A flash is when you move directly to an open area towards the ball. It should be a quick cut, to receive the ball.
Jump-Stop: This is an quick stop, of the dribble. While doing a jump stop you should land on both feet at the same time, so you don't establish your pivot foot. This gives you more options after the dribble is picked up.
Pivot: A pivot is when you pick one foot to stay on the ground, and move your other foot either forwards or backwards. This motion allows you to protect the ball, give yourself options to pass, shoot or dribble. You want to pretend that your established pivot foot is nailed to the floor, so you can't lift it up. (This avoids travels)
Triple-Threat: Triple threat means having three options that potentially threat the defense. In order to be in triple threat you hold the ball firmly and hold it to your side almost on your hip. The three options: triple threat gives you are: Shoot, dribble and/or pass.
