On paper seems unrealistic because there's no way 1's gonna get to the 45 with all that defense closing down the lane and no incentive to go out to defend the perimeter while 1's taking a long way just for an ez LU to the basket or a pull up "J" at mid post? And 2 be better on the w/side corner to spot up if 1 can't take to the hoop.
Lol. Coached for over 20 years aau high school varsity and at mens military. Stop teaching the youth wrong. Every good coach knows you cant trap in open space. Good ball handlers will kill you. Might work at the developmental level but then your coaching to win something that will never happen as the higher level. Prepare these kids ro play with sound fundamentals.
Love your channel and I hope it grows. I hope it’s ok if I make a suggestion. I really enjoy the diagrams on the chalkboard, but on some of the more complex offenses, or when you have time, could you add a live video example after the diagram. I’m not trying to criticize or be pushy, I enjoy your knowledge. I just think people mostly do one or the other, and a blend would be very instructive.Thank you again for your videos
Played a team in our aau semi finals tournament that play this, not a good defense tbh , it’s very dependent on the offense having 2 bugs that don’t move from the post. As soon as a big learns to pop High post this defense virtually gives away points
Overhelping can really plague teams. This is awesome for helping a team recognize and read those situations. Also gets offense to not settle because they know they have the advantage.
While this is simple and may work against players with poor defensive awareness, a skilled defender will not pop on the weakside guy (in this case the 2) cutting out to the 3pt line and will stay home, leaving the middle still well guarded from both cross cutters. That weakside pass is a long pass and the defender would have plenty of time to recover if the inbounded does (try to) make that pass
Run for to weak side box and 5 to strong side, the center is going to help until the screened player get there - the weak side defender low will shade so u need for to get under him and seal for a layup or at least occupy him so he can’t switch to 5 when 3 goes to rim and defending center has to challenge - leaving 5 open - but he must seal underneath as ball side post will try to slide down off of 2.
Ran this back in 2001-2002 season and it legit creates havoc for the opposing team. We didn’t run it too often, but when we did, man, we could stuff the stat sheet with steals and assists due to fast breaks.
I like these but the last one is a bit iffy. Having the 4 cut through brings in strongside help and mucks up the spacing for 1. Instead, it’s probably better have 2 set a pin down for 4 so u keep the strongside occupied, or just have both 4 and 2 stay in their spots and space the floor since not everyone has to move every time
I also do not like the traditional wheel movement for dribble drive... It leaves the weakside corner and block vacant (especially in youth hoops, you will want an option to dump down to when the weakside help comes. Still haven't found a great replacement rule.
