Hi Coach,
I have two wise quotes for you today:
#1 “Don’t put baby in the corner”
And
#2 “Don’t put your Defense in a box”
We all know that coach (or maybe you
are that coach) who ONLY runs one defense, and one defense only, and only one way.
We joke with them and say “hey you gonna run any zone tonight!”
But everyone knows it’s man to man no matter what. Pressure man. Deny and Disrupt EVERYTHING! ALWAYS!
Coach K was that guy.
And after spending a summer with Jim Boeheim and the olympic program… next thing you know he’s running 2-3 zones and matchups as well as his staple man to man.
The point I’m making is this.
You don’t have to abandon your principles. You don’t have to abandon your beloved defense of choice.
But you can adjust it.
Anything you run defensively…
No Middle Man to Man
Pack Line Man to Man
2-3 Zone
Or even a Diamond Press
You can adjust any of those and more… to be either a Disruption
Defense, a Containment Defense, or a Disturbing Defense (disturbing is the fun word we’re using from now on for surprise, blitz, run and jump, etc)
