Basketball Drills - Full Court Pressure Defense

[OnlineCPR]

A good full-court press system can be very effective for creating turnovers.

I like this video , I think I will try to use your advice for my rec team. Thanks.

[filatelisti]

How about if the offense isn't just standing still and are manning whole different positions?

[rocktr36]

defense is no basketball

[WaltersNetwork]

Nice I going to use this during games

COACH HINESSS

[JEEEEZimDOPE]

hey guys. why not.

[MrHoop503]

check it out 6 year old crazy little ball handler!

[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.

[lbj6mj23]

@msheplervideo

how about 90s chicago bulls?

[weatherallc05]

@msheplervideo yeah ur right, i used to prefer pressure defense over zonal. plus there is always a gap to pass into, and at lower level the opponent wont spot the gap. at NBA level, full court pressure is futile

[TheDan2917]

Great defensive techniques. you can learn a lot from this video.

[windex66]

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?

[MrSoulja561]

i love this can we see more of full court pressure drills

[Ferried89]

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

[lolxdfreak]

thats shit defense

[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.

[GAMES57LIKER]

@TheAppleFace123 you're right but it's not that easy. i train basketball for long time and i am the playmaker. these two people are there to make a pass hardar and inaccurate or to steal it. Coaches extend the drills as possible to ready the players for the worst possible scenario

[GAMES57LIKER]

@TheAppleFace123 sry for bad english, and what you think will happen in matches when playmakers will panic

[coachrv30]

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.

[kennysacht]

Thank you for posting your videos. One thing that would make it better: Rather than refer to a ghost 5th man defender, actually put a 5th man on the court so we can VISUALLY see 5 defenders on the court.

[bodgermachine]

i agree with nyc11104 this teaches great palys for u16 players and ignorant players mostly ruin the game by acting like theyre better than what they feel and are arrogant with it

[TheLeilisa]

i recommend this anyone who wants to grow taller

"Helpo Growth Formula " search in google....

[nicklontoc]

this really from 2008? i initially thought that it's an 80's video. 

[sinky8]

very good tips thank you

[plusEV]

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

[gdawg3132]

great defense plays

[rp11563]

Can't have a bald guy in your video

[EmanTheKidd]

This reminds me of Reno 911

[MrSuperDuperAnthony]

u can just get a ball screen easy to break

[BGSoccerMagic]

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

[ilovesoccer59]

i play travel basketball and we dont press like this

[jonhut111]

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

[ilovesoccer59]

yes i have

[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.

[allah12311]

gotta love the mustache

[awesomitated]

wouldnt a good passer get it to 3 easily and make it a free shot :s?

[kennywinfred1]

your all missing the point.. its all about the coaches mustache

[18Herbert10]

xD thats true!

[41htdex]

i think the people posting these coments are cool>

[thatbradkid]

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

[myspacedotco]

i think 23s the best. the last one just doesn't seem smart because if the guard on offense sees their worst player cutting in he will make the pass

[Z43hoops]

he would have to make a really strong pass plus the center is still there to jump it

[commentatornator]

On the bluff, what would you do if they didn't pick up their dribble? The video doesn't address that.

[kb826062871]

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

[mylastbesthope]

You would deny the pass. That is everyone would stay with their man and try to get a steal or force a 5 second call.

[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.

[x14684]

thanks coach.

[Solesdepuebla]

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

[china416]

what if the guy bringing up the ball is lebron james? loll jkz.

nice up

[Solesdepuebla]

then you get shaquille oneal, the admiral and dikembe mutmobo

[triplen10]

labron would just do a crab dribble through the trap..

[LakersDynasty42]

Then you put Ron Artest on him.

[24Elementman]

@china416 get off Lebrons nuts there is cum on your face faggot. And to answer your worthless question a half court trap wouldn't work on any NBA player not just almighty Lebron even though Kobe Durant and Wade are better fucker

[china416]

@24Elementman loll, good to see a homophobe such as yourself still engage in participatory conversations over the internet where your fiery passion is expressed so eloquently with your high school education.

A+ for effort

F- for tolerance, its ok I understand homophobes such as yourself, no need to be afraid.

[24Elementman]

@china416 OK RETARD for 1 what I said has nothing to do with being Homophobic I'm saying you love Lebron too much faggot. SECOND WHO THE FUCK CARES IF I'M HOMOPHOBIC ANYWAYS?? Its better to be a homophobe then a faggot like youself.

[china416]

@24Elementman lol I can't figure out if I am talking to an ignorant fundie or a kid who is trying to act beyond their years but doesn't have the education to do so.

I'm so glad that your prejudiced attitudes can be expressed here on a youtube forum rather than in a public environment, because we would all know what would happen then lol.

here's a pointer - relaaaax.

[LolsitzGeorge]

@24Elementman well if the defense was SOO good everybody would use that would they not? the real reason for defense is to scare your "man or woman" or in some instance when the chance is given you can get the block or the steal. defense is never perfect or then it would be like soccer getting 5 points per game. the point in doing such plays is to do it as perfect as possible, as effective as possible

[LolsitzGeorge]

@24Elementman and lebron isn't bad either. kobes been in the league far longer and his so called rings were thanks to shaq. shaq would get the ball which drew the attention of all players having them to play double team on him and then he would give the pass to kobe for that open 3. Kobe played with jordan, jordan taught him sooo much. without that mentoring you think kobe would be the same? im not saying he wouldn't be nice but he just wouldn't be as good as he is now

[jbrixcrystal]

i used this on my team and we won! thank you for uploading!

[eddiee24]

That guy was my coach in college coach sokaitis

[fasique]

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