Coaches: discover the #1 drill every youth basketball coach should know: ebasketballcoa...
This video clip features a great basketball drill to teach full court pressure and trapping strategy. You'll learn how to run the 1/4 court, 1/2 court, and 3/4 court trap and force tons of turnovers.

I was looking for a numbering system that is easy to remember. Thanks I would love to see more

Coach Al Sokaitis is a Great coach. His University of Alaska Fairbanks team (D-II) beat 8Division I teams! Amazing. He has now brought his "turnaround magic" to another small college - Post University. Sokatis also worked with NBA All-Star David Lee. When will a mid-major team hire Sokaitis to take them to the next level?

Nice I going to use this during games

[@BGSoccerMagic]

it's all about responding as a whole, not just one, or two players but the entire team.

As someone who has coached basketball for over 35 years, may I offer a thought. While your observation may seem sensible, fundamentally it is not sound. Trying to steal the ball here leads to careless fouls. Instead, when the trap is set correctly, the player with the ball will be forced to make a slower, poorer pass which can be stolen by the other defenders. Trappers stop and contain the ball, the other 3 players look to intercept - - stealing easier, odds of fouling less.

[@fasique]

21 & 22 are effective for teams just starting to play good defense systems. Try it

[@gdawg3132]

great defense plays

[@pcluis60804]

You can drop back to zone. The trap is an attempt to get a steal, it is not gonna happen most of the time, you use it sparingly. You will simply drop back and play your usual defensive scheme, a zone or man to man.

Hey, If you would have all te series on tape, i would like to be able to watch them. Is that possible?

[@lbj6mj23]

@msheplervideo how about 90s chicago bulls?

[@jonhut111]

The one I've seen or heard about was the one that Vergil Fletcher ran at Collinsville Illinois high school in the 50's early 60's. I wasn't even born until the 90's but I've heard about how wild it was.

[@MasonSnake]

hockey for daaaaays

[@davidjacksonmba8277]

#blackblack jack Nice I going to use this during games @George Davis

[@jonhut111]

Because you can press different ways. There are different presses. Have you ever heard of the Ball Press?

[@summerthew]

but there will be alot of wide open right?

[@thanakhagwangwava385]

That's good

[@Solesdepuebla]

that coach looks like freddy mercury, just more macho, LOL

[@Famous1MB]

Why is there only four on each team??

[@MrHoop503]

check it out 6 year old crazy little ball handler!

[@ltj2181]

the coach is counted this time on the team tallpostman87

[@plusEV]

Not a fan of trapping from in front. Prefer to 'Run and Jump' from the blind side.

[@Solesdepuebla]

then you get shaquille oneal, the admiral and dikembe mutmobo

[@msheplervideo]

Does not work at NBA and elite college level due higher operating ceiling and strength and accuracy of passing. They will kill you for these overplays. At high school level, it is a pretty darn good thing system to throw at your opponent.

[@kb826062871]

If they don't pick it up, just keep on traping the guy!

[@Shlongclock]

xD thats true!

[@thatbradkid]

i have one problem this isnt a full court press like it says it is!!

[@LakersDynasty42]

Then you put Ron Artest on him.

[@MasonSnake]

naaahhh

[@Dkxile46]

What if u were versing a black team you wouldnt win that way

[@crispeenoodle]

u spelled stupid wrong

[@TheAppleFace123]

This is just horrible.... the two people could have easiy took the ball when the guy in the middle would be trying to pass.... be smart, stupid coach.
