Did this with my team for 3 games, game one we were up like 25-4 after the first, the second game we were up 27-2 after the first. This press was so effective and caused so many mistakes for the other team. Almost every time we pressed ended up in a basket, steal or atleast some form of chaos/tipped pass
As a hockey fan, this is why I can watch college basketball from time to time. Full court press and forechecking are essentially the same thing, players working hard to cause turnovers and create opportunities. It's fun and exciting. I can't stand the NBA and have never understood its appeal. The players' egos are too big to play a full court press.
There was a small Midwest d2 or 3 team that went man to man as soon as they shot. No rebounds just shoot and switch to full court man. Fun for every one attacking.
Its fun trying this type of defense mid season but vs teams that cant dribble dominates. Love the fact at HS level trying to tell these kids this kind of Defense will make us better if we understand the value of making teams set up rushing shots, and not setting up comfortable into offense.
Pretty basic and elementary. It’s the first full court trap you are taught to break. If your going to run that against a good team, you need at least 4 long and athletic players.
Logan Kandel a lanky athletic defender is perfect for the “mad man”. It’s good to have that length on traps and to force bsll strong side for the first trap. However, he has to be quick to get to that first trap.
I agree, depending on situation we would sometimes have that guy face guard double team their best ball handler or free throw shooter if it was under a minute down more than a bucket
@@Himijendrix014 smart I really want to take these down as situation notes first year JV. Started working on this mid season. Its fun to teach and see it come to life, still working on it need players to under stand gaps.
Too long, too fast, too smart. From my experience running this in HS, you're basically telling the guards to pass the ball ahead to weaker ball handlers, like a 4 or 5 that's not as adept at dribbling, to handle pressure for 3-4 dribbles. Same in college.
This press is easily broken. The issue comes in when the refs are allowing the defense to bump and body the offensive players. Then you probably will find success. If you are being pressed by this, and the refs are letting your team get bullied, buckle up... it's a long night. Otherwise.. a give and go on either side with slashing cutters creates layups against this press.
Maybe but not at the middle school boys and girls level where I coach. If you get that coffin trap, they don't have the vision or strength usually to make the cross court pass that is easily breaks it at almost all other levels. Even if they know to reverse it to the inbounder that 10 second count is ticking and that is usually a 4 or 5 trying to handle it against a second oncoming trap. What I like to do is show this press after makes in the first half and then if/when they figure it out, we "stunt"it. We apply the same trap but once the ball is picked up both the trappers retreat and man cover, with one doubling anyone coming to the ball to help. Frustration, fatigue and panic doesn't show up in the scorebook even if steals, turnovers and violations do.
Shaka got 20 years younger growing his back out. And what dude shaves it bic bald when you can grow those curls like it's nothing?!?! Lol bald dudes everywhere are so jealous and probably pissed he can pull off both looks
LEWDSocietyOfficial creates a lot of turnovers but if they get pass half court then it's a 2-1 but u have to hustle. it's a good trap speeds up the opponets.

Dope Breakdown!! 👊🏾
Thanks! Share this with a coach that wants to try it.

the last part about not fouling and keeping your body low is nice however good defenses are ALWAYS reaching for the roof ;-)
Thank you coach. Greetings from PLAYBOOK Argentina
I use this in the half court with my team too

This is actually really cool. What kind of player would you recommend as the "mad man"? would an athletic, lanky power forward work?
Logan Kandel a lanky athletic defender is perfect for the “mad man”. It’s good to have that length on traps and to force bsll strong side for the first trap. However, he has to be quick to get to that first trap.
I don’t understand, are we supposed to force them to the corner or to the middle?
Force it up the butt
@@fredred5037 Phil McCracken and Ben Dover agreeeeee!!
Hoping he comes back to Clemson
Coach just a question, if your opponent is taller than your team but they have no shooting,what half court defense would you apply?

I would pull the first person off the ball so that it's tougher for them to get it in.

Good video
Nathan was here 😁
This was sweet
i'm surprised you don't see it more often in the nba.

I love how 80% of the examples show the press breaking down. Haha.
Knicks next coach
If they break the press, How do the players know what man to guard without getting confused??
Once they break it, every man has to find someone to guard. It's going to be confusing. This is the flaw with this system.
Or fall back into a zone defense..
In soccer, we call this Gegenpressing
What defense are you dropping back into? A man to man or zone?
Brent Seville since this is such an aggressive defense, I like to play denial man to man to stay in an aggressive mindset.
seen in the nba, with nick nurse toronto raptors
Shit like this is what a player like CP3 would take advantage of.
LOL NBA is much different than college. he'd have a tough time against a good press
You have to match up after this press you cannot fall back into a zone
no, you can go back into a zone.
Tight three man weave will break any press. Read and react. Basic.

Wont work in the nba.
Dendy Triputra good thing he coaches college ball
Watch the raptors come back vs the mavs
@@maddog5539 yeeessssas. Even professionals had a hard time with this one
Nba game is more faster zone and presses don’t work and they have a 3 second rule
too many weaknesses with this press
Yes, it's ALL OR NOTHING. High risk high reward.
Coachbase I could see this being effective as a tone setter for sure though
LEWDSocietyOfficial oh yea...it's a mentality.
LEWDSocietyOfficial creates a lot of turnovers but if they get pass half court then it's a 2-1 but u have to hustle. it's a good trap speeds up the opponets.
@@LEWDSocietyOfficial Or maybe if you're playing with the lead, and want to further get into your opponent's head.
