What it is
- The Chin Series is a family of actions that all initiate from the same look: a ball catch at the elbow (the intersection of the lane line and the free throw line).
- A guard or wing receives the ball at the elbow (either side).
- Because all actions look identical at the catch point, the defense cannot predict which action is coming.
Why it matters
- - A guard or wing receives the ball at the elbow (either side). - They catch facing the basket in a triple-threat position. - From this single catch, multiple actions can unfold.

How it works
- Chin Cut (Backdoor / Baseline Cut): A player on the weak side cuts along the baseline toward the ball-side block.
- The elbow catcher reads whether the cutter's defender is ball-watching and, if so, delivers a bounce pass for a layup.
- This is the primary "Chin" action from which the series takes its name.
- Chin DHO (Dribble Handoff): The elbow catcher dribbles at a wing or guard coming off the wing.
- As the dribbler approaches, they hand off the ball to the wing, who attacks off the handoff.
