Hi Coach,
Today is Day 7 of
The One Defense Away Challenge…
If you missed the first 6 days here is a recap of what we have covered:
- Day 1 - Straight Up Man to Man
- Day 2 - No Middle
- Day 3 - Pack Line
- Day 4 - Switching Man
- Day 5 - Matchup
- Day 6- The Swarm Defense
For Day 7 in his series of 21 Defenses in 21 Days Coach John Wheeler features the The SOS Pressure Defense.
The SOS Defense is one that gets the ball on
the side and keeps it there just as The No Middle Drive does.
But once it is there we will by hyper aggressive trapping any baseline penetration or even soft driving attempts.
The SOS is a great mix with No Middle Drive… because you can also call of the dogs and run your No Middle as it’s run. Help early on baseline drives & rotate out.
You can ALSO utilize the surprise element by trapping the ball before the dribble.
It’s unorthodox, but it’s worth it if you want to always keep the offense on their heels
This is the final Man to Man Defense in the Free 21 Day One Defense Away Challenge.
Just a reminder this incredible clinic is 100% FREE!
And this is one of the best presentations of basketball you can find online. We really encourage you to check it out!
