“We have a simple rule for switching. Anytime there is movement over the top of a screen, there has to be an automatic switch. If a blind pick is set on one of our defensive players, there has to be a switch. To play good pressure defense, you have to use the switch.” IfsPlayUseSimplePlayerMovementBasketballPicksPressureBlindDefenseScreensCoachingBasketball CoachingOver The TopSwitching Author:Ralph Miller
“When covering the man with the ball, the defense should be able to touch the ball with his hand. He should assume this touching position as the ball is being received. When the ball is received, the defense should discourage the pass into the post area. The hands should be kept up. Keeping the hands up reduces a tendency to foul and allows a player to move his hands quickly.” MenShouldHandsAbleMovingPlayerPositionHe ManBasketballAreasBallsAssumingDefenseTendenciesPostsCoachingTouchingCoveringDiscouragingFoulBasketball CoachingHands Up Author:Ralph Miller
