OVERVIEW •  FULL COURT PRESS / BUILD UP DRILLS

•  HALF COURT DEFENSIVE DRILLS

•  BOB PLAYS VS. MAN / ZONE

•  ZONE O CONCEPT / QUICK HITTERS

•  LATE GAME SITUATIONS

•  TURNOVERS (LIVE BALL) •  QUICK / BAD SHOTS •  CREATE OFFENSIVE OPPORTUNITIES •  FORCE TEMPO / DISRUPT OFFENSIVE FLOW •  DIFFICULT TO PREPARE FOR •  MAKE OPPOSING PLAYERS DO THINGS THEY AREN’T

COMFORTABLE DOING •  CREATE FATIGUE (CUMULATIVE EFFECT)

– WHO GETS TIRED 1ST? / WHO RECOVERS QUICKEST? •  MAKE DEPTH A FACTOR (WHO’S 6-10 IS BETTER?) •  EXCITING STYLE OF PLAY (PLAYERS / FANS) •  IDENTITY / BRAND

WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE PRESS

WHAT SHOULD YOU EMPHASIZE AS A PRESSING TEAM?

•  ENERGY (5 GUYS FLYING AROUND) –  “FOULING NEGATES HUSTLE”

•  COMMUNICATION –  “TALKING MAKES YOU QUICKER”

•  GETTING INTO THE PRESS QUICKLY •  DEFLECTIONS •  TRAPPING FUNDAMENTALS

–  WHEN TO TRAP? (GOOD TRAP VS. BAD TRAP) •  BALLHANDLER'S LEVEL OF CONTROL •  ELEMENT OF SURPRISE •  LOCATION ON THE COURT

–  WHO TO TRAP? •  “ONE MAN TRAP”

–  HOW TO TRAP? •  “ELASTICITY”

–  OFF THE BALL •  “THINK LIKE A TRAPPER”

WHAT SHOULD YOU EMPHASIZE AS A PRESSING TEAM?

•  TAKING AWAY THE OBVIOUS PASS •  PRESSURING THE BALL (ESP MTOM) •  STUNTING •  BACK PRESSURE •  OUTNUMBERED SITUATIONS – 2 VS. 1

•  “FIX IT” SITUATIONS •  DEFENDING MULTIPLE POSITIONS – FRONT OF PRESS – BACK OF PRESS

DIAMOND PRESS •  MADMAN = ON BALL, BEAT PASSER TO THE BALL, BE

ACTIVE, ANGLE YOURSELF WITH THE BACKBOARD •  3 MAN = 1ST PLAYER TO LEFT OF 4, INSIDE SHOULDER /

EVEN – DON’T DENY THE BALL INBOUNDS, NO SIDELINE •  2 MAN = 1ST PLAYER TO RIGHT OF 4, FT LINE TO CLOSE

DOWN (NO SIDELINE), INTERCEPTOR HIGH •  1 MAN = GET BACK, MATCH UP WITH NEXT GUY OVER TOP

ON THE BALL SIDE, INTERCEPTOR SIDELINE •  5 MAN = DEEP AS THE DEEPEST TO ½ COURT, 2 ON 1 GUY,

PROTECT THE RIM – NOTHING EASY

DIAMOND TEACHING POINTS •  CANNOT GET BEAT SIDELINE •  CONTROL THE DRIBBLE / CORRAL •  ACTIVE TRAPS AND ROTATIONS – DEFLECT PASS

BACK TO 4 MAN •  COMMUNICATE = 2/3, 4/5 CAN SWITCH BASED OF

OFFENSIVE POSITIONING •  THROWBACK TO 4 = STUNT AND RETREAT, GET

READY TO COME AGAIN •  STAY IN IT UNTIL A DEEP, PENETRATING PASS

–  BACK TIPS, BACK PRESSURE, WEAKSIDE SPRINT TO RIM

•  TALK, MATCH UP, FIX IT
