 How to teach and coach the first and second cutter basketball play
The pivot player must be quick to read the defensive reactions to determine whether the first cutter, or the second cutter, will be in the better scoring position.
To neutralize this tactic, the second cutter can change direction immediately after starting his cut behind his teammate and go through on the same side of the first cutter.
Or the first cutter can stop in front of a defender on the same side as he passed instead of crossing, and the second cutter can stop behind the double screen formed by the post player and other guard for a medium range jump shot.

 Slider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball, a slider, or nickel curve, is a pitch halfway between a curveball and a fastball, with less break but more speed than the curve.
Some pitchers also use a cut fastball (or cutter), which is one step closer than the slider to the fastball on the spectrum between fastballs and curves.
A pitch that has movement similar to both a slider and a curveball is sometimes called a slurve.

Unless this is a carefully manufactured cutter, it most likely detracts from the action of the ball.
A true cutter is a special pitch with a lot of possibility to it (see the chapter on breaking pitches to learn how to throw a cutter with a purpose), but an accidental cutter weakens the kick of the ball and causes it to fade -- generally into the batters sweet zone.
Late breaking sliders, cutters, and curves albeit slower in are as equally devastating.

The date of April 6, 1992, is to baseball what July 4, 1776, was to the Enlightenment.
The cookie-cutter, multi-purpose stadium built by local government was living on borrowed time from then on; a new age was ushered in, and self-evident truths like natural grass turf, asymmetric dimensions, baseball-only venues, seats angled towards the infield, and classical architectural touches were invoked in a grand new human experiment.
Football demanded a greater capacity than baseball, so the sightlines were generally terrible; the seats far away from the action, and the cookie-cutter stadia ended up looking like hollowed out bowls.
