1.PLAY HARD It is important to take pride in defensive effort. This is one area of the game that can and should be constant. 2. SEE THE BALL / SEE THE MAN Be aware of where the ball is at all times. An offensive player cannot score without the ball. Guarding a player with the ball our position is BALL-YOU-BASKET. BALL-YOU-MAN away defense to prevent "face-cuts" to the basket.
4.COMMUNICATION It is essential that all five players communicate with each other. Calling “ball”, yelling “help”, "shot", “skip” or “double” helps ensure that all five defenders will be in good position and know what is happening on the court. Three talking rules: Early, Loud and Often. 5.NO DIRECT PASSES OR DRIVES Make the offense throw passes below or above, not through. Therefore, the only acceptable pass to give up is a lob pass. Force the offense to their weak hand to take away the straight line drive.
10.BLOCKOUT AND OUTLET
Defensive effort is completed when we have POSSESSION OF THE BALL (ICE) - Identify, Contact, Explode. When the ball is shot ALL FIVE PLAYERS have rebound responsibility - covering the paint in a triangle shape with guards blocking out then moving to the elbow areas. Play the odds when rebounding a jump shot and flood the weak side with a guard to give additional rebounding strength.
