Ball!” or “Trap! The main difference with this variation is instead of the main interceptor being the back line player (X5), it now becomes the weak-side middle line player (X3). For this example we’ll assume it’s X4 and X5. Middle LineThe middle line is made up of the other two players on the team. It’s also fantastic for getting the ball out of the point guards hands and into the hands of a player less confident dribbling and bringing up the basketball. This defensive strategy resulted in numerous turnovers and scoring opportunities for his teams. Force turnoversSince the 2-2-1 has great trapping opportunities, if your players trap correctly it will lead to the opposition turning the ball over. Developing consistency throughout all levels of your program, Dealing with parents and playing time issues, 6 keys to maximizing your assistant coaches, Preparing to coach an inexperienced, bad team, 2-2-1 Full Court Pressure System Playbook, Dribble Drive Motion Offense Breakdown Drills Playbook, Dayton Flyers Continuity Ball Screen Offense Playbook, Get the ball inbounds with the triple-option sideline play, Shaka Smart’s 3 best inbound plays from a box set. 3. For better or for worse, the 2-2-1 press is very effective in youth basketball because it takes advantage of most players lack of strength to pass over the top of the press. 1. When the trap happens the weak-side front-line player (X2) must immediately move into the middle of the floor and become and interceptor.

It’s imperative that these players are able to put pressure on the basketball and channel the ball-handler down the sideline without getting beaten off the dribble. We don’t want to allow their point guard to survey the floor and make easy reads as to where they should pass it to. As soon as the ball has been inbounded the on-ball defender takes a step off and resumes channeling the basketball down the sideline, while the weak side front-line player sprints to their position as interceptor/help defender in the middle of the floor. The weak-side second line player (X5) is still protecting the basket or the ball-side baseline player if there is one there. Another option when breaking a press is to set up as shown with 4 and 5 at the elbows and 1 and 3 at midcourt. If 3 does not receive the ball he goes to the basket in the far right lane.

Often when teams are behind late in a game, they will apply full-court pressure as a means of attempting to produce turnovers as well as tire opponents. DIAGRAM 4: Press Break 2 (B). [2], Gene Johnson, head coach at Wichita University (now called Wichita State University) is often falsely credited with creating the full court press, but in fact just popularized it outside of the Negro Leagues. Once the offensive player is forced to the sideline it’s time for the middle-line to help and trap the ball. 1-3-1. They will also be the main communicator during the 2-2-1 since they have vision of the entire floor.

When a pass is made to the sideline, the closest front-line player picks up the ball and once again forces it down the sideline.

This containment is the most crucial part of the press. The player strong-side in the second line (X4) must move across to be in-line with the basketball and the weak-side second-line player (X5) must move across and guard the middle of the court. 360 IQ Hat Press; 6" x 6" Clam; A2Z Swing Away Heat Press; Air Fusion IQ; Auto Cap; Auto Clam; Craft Heat Press; Dual Air Fusion IQ; Fusion IQ; Hover; MAXX Cap; MAXX Clam; Sports Ball Heat Press Once a press is broken, however, the defensive team is vulnerable to a potential fast break or open three-point opportunity since defensive players may be caught behind the play. The trap can be made anywhere between the free-throw line and half court. This plays to our advantage in slowing the ball down and potentially getting a backcourt violation. I’ve found trapping with the two guards to be complicated and ineffective. Coaches sometimes out-think themselves when it comes to beating pressure defense. The ball-side front line player (X1) should try and take away the easy pass to the closest guard. 5 passes to 2 or 1 (2 in this case) and steps inbounds. Whereas if they move up and pressure the ball when it’s inbounded, it will make it much harder for the point guard to make smart decisions. We don’t mind the ball reversal because they’re not making progress as the clock gets closer and closer to a back-court violation. As talked about in the initial setup, this position should be the best player on your team at reading the play and intercepting the ball since they will get plenty of opportunities to do so. Both teams must be willing to play their bench plenty of minutes. Short, quick passes are less prone to turnovers than either long passes or dribbling. As the dribbler nears the second-line, the strong-side second-line player (X4) moves up to set the trap with the on-ball defender (X1).

Some presses attempt to deny the initial inbounds pass and trap ball handlers either in the backcourt or at midcourt. I’ll give you a brief overview of how the 2-2-1 press is set up and the order in which you should choose the positions in the press before discussing the roles and responsibilities of each position. In addition to the rankings, the AP gives readers courtside reporting, breaking news and a full NCAA tournament bracket. You need a press offense(s) for countering a defensive full-court, 3/4-court, or half-court press. Since the main ball-handlers bring the ball down the court and have thrown the lob pass to this player, it will often end up in the hands of a big player that isn’t used to passing or dribbling under pressure. I can’t stress this point enough… Never foul on the trap.

Your team will play harderMan-to-man can be seen as an individual defense to some players. If the press is beaten in the front court, X1 and X2 can look to double the ball or get a tap from behind. DIAGRAM 3: Press Break 2 (A). These players start a step or two inside of half court. It’s imperative that the second-line player coming to trap doesn’t allow the offensive player to get around and break the trap or else the defense will now be at a huge disadvantage. By forcing them to play fast and slow at the same time, the opposition will find it incredibly hard to ever get into a rhythm on offense which is exactly what the 2-2-1 press sets out to achieve.

Presses are especially effective against teams with poor ballhandlers, shallow benches (since players become more fatigued when being attacked by a press), or slow, deliberate offenses (since taking the ball up the court can waste a substantial portion of the shot clock). For years, his style of play went unnoticed by white society and later was called unrefined until white coaches adopted it . For this example, we’ll assume it’s X3. McLendon is often not credited because he invented it within the African American college league.

5. Full-court ("80") presses of various alignments (1-Up, 2-Up, 3-Up and 4-Up), as well as a "staggered" press are discussed. The AP Top 25 poll set the standard in 1949 and remains the premiere source for rankings of men’s college basketball. By face-guarding there’s a chance the front line players will get a deflection or the in-bounder will try to lob the basketball over top and the middle line (X4 and X5) can anticipate the steal. The single person in the back line’s primary responsibility is to intercept the basketball. This is the main stealing opportunity of the press where we want either interceptor to get a steal. On the sidelines we set traps and our goal is to force the passer to make a tough pass over the top of our trap that we can intercept. Instead, on the trap players should be yelling out “Ball! Certain teams, such as those coached by Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan, are known for applying full-court pressure during most of the game (this was especially evident for Pitino's Kentucky Wildcats championship squad in the 1996 NCAA tournament). On one end of the floor they’re forced to be slow and deliberate to bring the ball up the court, but once it’s been advanced it often leads to the opponent taking tough and rushed shots. There are a variety of defensive strategies available for teams to implement on the court. Basketball 101: Common Defensive Strategies Man-to-Man. When your team is running a press the opposition never has time to relax. Run down the shot clockBy taking away long passes and forcing the offense to be deliberate with the ball and make smart passes and ball reversals, it’s going to wipe a lot of time off the shot clock and potentially force a backcourt violation. DIAGRAM 1: Press Break 1 (A). 1 either dribbles up the middle or passes to 2 or 3. It involves the back line player (X3) stopping the ball on the sideline and then a double team coming immediately from the ball-side second line player (X4). The second trap can be very effective if your players are smart enough to transition from the first trap to the second trap quickly enough. If the ball is dribbled or passed into the middle of the press, that’s our trigger that the press has been beaten. This will keep the energy of the team up while also further distracting the offensive player that is being trapped.

DIAGRAM 2: Press Break 1 (B). The reason we pressure the player with the ball is that if the front-line players stand off the offensive player with the ball it becomes too easy for them to survey the floor and make passes through the middle of the press. Press Offense Press offense is part of the larger topic "Transition Offense".See "Attacking the Full-Court Press", which discusses important principles common to attacking any press defense.Also see coach Ari Fisher's article on uptempo basketball - Concepts for Playing Fast - Score Early and Often. No middleOnce the ball makes it to the middle of the floor it becomes very hard for the press. Usually two big players since these players will be the ones protecting the ring.
