my team runs a 1-3-1 press and a 1-3-1 half court defense. i dont mind running it as a press but i dont get it for a half court defense. youll always have someone open in the corner and teams in my league are great shooters, so we get scored on a lot. any advice or examples of a different defense we should run?

[@bballcoachallen]

You could try a 2-1-2 here is a link to a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX7bhqCDnbprgrc

[@tylerprall1666]

Any videos on how to break that 2 wide 2 1?

[@bballcoachallen]

2 wide up top or in the middle?

Is the 2-2-1 half court trap good for defending teams that run 4 corners?

[@jasonkonadu7684]

Hey so my friend told me he’s never ran a 2-2-1 before , you said to have the quicker players in middle of the 2-2-1, so on our team, how would we prevent getting killed on the boards? So all I told him was we can have our guards up top and have the bigger guys behind the 3 to help rebound off a misses . What you think ?

[@bballcoachallen]

It’s a trap and not something you would run through a whole defensive possession … normally a 2-2-1 would move to a 2-3 very easily

[@jasonkonadu7684]

@@bballcoachallen thanks if I have any more questions I’ll let you know

[@jeremiahbrown1232]

Have a link to the 4-1 defense?

Here you go www.alsbballtraining.ca/books-perimeter-defense.php

[@jasonmikell739]

Also how do you avoid the trap on the offensive side of the ball? If I’m bringing it down and they are trying to trap us?

[@bballcoachallen]

bring it down the middle, and force middle

[@jasonmikell739]

If the trap is unsuccessful around half court what do you instruct the kids to do?

[@bballcoachallen]

set up their half court defense

[@cdeleon7]

Since this is a zone trap would it be best to fall back to a 2-3 zone if the trap breakdown?

[@gorjesstay4578]

We are playing a taller team today. Any quick advice for playing bigger players?

[@bballcoachallen]

depends on the tall players skill set... my recommendation is to start with a press defense to see if the tall players can handle the ball. Next I would explain to my team fouls are okay this game as I would want them to play tough in the low post and stay straight up but very close. I would then find the worst ball handler on their team and double team him every time he has the ball
