Teaching
Half Court Man Defense
Team Guidelines
1. Pick up Guards at half court.
2. No lay-ups.
3. Force ball to the sides and corners.
4. Don’t allow defense to swing the ball.
5. Stop all penetration.
6. Instruct players on specific defensive requirements for a game.
7. Teach players to block-out and hit the boards.
8. Decide how many players you want hitting the defensive boards.
Defensive
Movement
Teach your players to always move in the direction the ball has taken
by dribble or pass. Defensive movement allows your team to react to any
drive or penetration by the offense and provides floor balance for
rebounding.
Five
on Two/Five on Three Defensive Positioning
On every defensive series you want to position your five defensive
players in a position to react to any offensive set. All offensive sets
position two or three players on one side of the floor, the defensive
should match up and provide help-side defense with the remaining
players.
Defensive Purpose
The main goal of your defense is to 1. Stop penetration 2. Keep the
offense from scoring easy baskets 3. Force the offense to start their
offense further out than they want to.
Team
Communication
Its important that you teach your players to communicate on the
defense, by your players can play an effective team defense. By
communicating players can call out screens, help teammates that have
been beaten and allows for the defending of screens.
Ball
Positioning
1. When the ball is on the wing, force the ball down the sideline to
the corners.
2.When the ball is on the wing, don’t allow ball reversal.
3. When the ball is in the hands of a guard allow the guard to guard
pass but don’t allow guards to pass to wings or post.
4. When the ball is in the corner you can trap or play head up.
5. When the ball is in the post, double down and force the ball back
out.
6. On pick and rolls defender shows on ball and withdraws when
defensive player that was screened catches up to ball. You may also
switch screens.
Transition
Defense
Its important that coaches teach their players to get back on defense
after made baskets or free throws. I teach players to sprint back to
the paint and then recover their man. If a team walks the ball up ,I
have the guards pick up at half court and the front court matches up.
