Hi Coach,

Today is Day 1 of The One Defense Away Challenge… 

Coach Wheeler is breaking down 21 Defenses in 21 Days...He starts today with The Straight Up Man to Man.

As you’ll learn through the entirety of the challenge, you can take almost any defense and execute 3 Core Strategies with them.

• Speed Them Up
• Slow Them Down
• Play The Element of Surprise (Run, Jump, Trap, etc)

(You can also execute with the intention to confuse players and offenses, but we’ll talk more about that later)

Each defense also has it’s own element of control… 

And execution of this control goes to the overall game plan.

Straight Up Man to Man is the most core and fundamental approach to man to man defense.

We aren’t trying to funnel the ball to any particular place on the court.

We aren’t trying to play too fast.

We aren’t trying to play too slow.

We aren’t trying to trick the anybody into anything.

Straight up Man to Man is kinda like “Iceman” from Top Gun. 

Play Ice Cold… no mistakes.

When the offense makes mistakes, you got them.  

Let your opponent beat themselves.  

Don’t help them out!
