Basketball Defense - How To Play Man to Man

[weatherallc05]

when i was playing basketball, i preferred man to man. It was quite easy for me to track an opponents movement, whereas i hated zonal defense. I used to get into a habit of moving out of my zone, and it did cost baskets a few times.

[JavieG89]

This defense won't work how they want it to. 3-4 passes with help defense and someones gonna have a wide open shot. Just saying they were moving at half speed and I say plenty of opportunities. But the towel is a good defensive helper. Hand down man down.

Girl on girl just didn't have the same ring to it.....

[Durantula34]

WOMEN TO WOMEN- not man to man

[tedmosby5]

Nice video.

Defenders think about guarding 1 1/2 players instead of just 1

Guard defenders slant body ( footwork ) to allow/encourage going baseline where there will be a help defender. This avoids top of key penetration where offense has more options.

If guards drive to the middle (top of key) both defenders sag to protect the middle.

When the ball is passed to the wings (sides), guard defenders sag back down and other defenders weak side defenders may have to rotate to help. TEAM !

[DanPrinMan]

All the gangster streetballers out there probably don't know what this video is about because they don't play defense.

Anyways, just saying.

[ospina86]

@DanPrinMan what the fuck does being gangster have to do with playing defense?

[ytliang345]

It doesn't matter if they're woman or men, the fundamentals are the same.

[Luraj7]

Don't they say about paying attetnion on the chest? That's what I would do...

[sn1ffp33z]

@Luraj7 no u look at the ball at all times.

[mrDS000]

@sn1ffp33z not really ..u dont want to steal the ball its a better chance of a foul and the ball can move anywher so u should look at the chest

[Mickalla18]

The girl on help side is suppossed to be able too see the ball too.

[Haha1stAccount]

I need to learn how to play man to man, i screwed up in my school's tryout and was dissed by some loser who thinks he's a bigshot. Can someone recommend me a video on youtube that will basically teach me this mainly on how to guard a person 2 heads taller man to man.

[tech2kn0w]

kobe is underated defender bu he has good defense.search kobe defending n watch closely how his stance is.but remember you always hav to be moving even if your guy is jus staying in 1 spot dribling or your guy is trying to get bal. search how to defend post and also if your defender is facing his back to you IMEDIATLY crowd him but don use your hands.use your body/chest to force him to travel.any thing with your hands will get you a foul but they cant call a foul if you push him with your body.

[Haha1stAccount]

Alright thanks man, I'll look up that vid.

[bustazibit]

depends on how oyu use your body it shouldnt be malicious

[HoustonRocket281]

thanx this really help~

[3arlyGrizzle]

try out for a next sport

[Paradisewithchris]

@Haha

Yeah ok for defense u always wana see your man and where the ball is so u move so u can see both.. if the guy next to u has the ball deny... and if a taller guy is ur man ull most likely get fouled alot and theyll turn the ball over... make sure he doesnt get infront of you though cause then he can just jump and make the shot..

[IsolationGame]

This is good defensive drill we run this

[TSquadtre]

WOW i alredy knew this crap

[MakeABanana]

Like everyone else has said, this is just a drill.

If the coach has 700 wins in her career and has been a coach for the US Olympic team, she must have done something right.

[stefanswe]

This is a shell drill, against a 4out offensive set, and it looks like they just work on defensive positioning.

[stefanswe]

oh and also defensive rotations

[JPEZ0307]

For all the comments on this being a bad defense............Hello, it is a practice drill like jimn3bbwave said.

[Taydizzle22]

it's like a man with zone principals...it's weird cuz they close up like a zone even though you're on your on man...

[TIEFMASTA]

How is this Man to Man its Woman to Woman.

[01thiem01]

dat is lam

[chumpy209]

well ofcourse the offence wont just stand there like pogo sticks. this defence is good but not great.

[greekmac7]

how is this man to man??? its zone

[justlucky18]

I also agree with T0mmyPL.

this defensive stand is bad.

First, this is assuming the offense team is all standing outside without movement.

so basically some hard cuts will break it down.

second, if you have good dribbler it would be lay up or floater ( when the ball got to the girl on bottom right corner of the screen )

Third, this stand WILL NOT WORK because LOOK AT HOW MANY SECONDS THEY STAND IN THE PAINT.

[justlucky18]

pretty obvious what the towers are for.

I can tell that you dont play basketball.

[devilck328]

DO u guys know wts the towel for ?

[jimn3bbwave]

The towel keeps the defense from using their hands during the drill. This is a footwork and positioning drill.

I'll use towels on defense when working on offense plays to help them learn the moves against a defense that knows what is coming and cheats the play.

[schwantz037]

this is pretty good and easily understood. Im going to use this method when teaching 11-12 year olds this week.

[sickgm]

This is basic fundamental help defense. This will for sure help any team. This is about team defense. Regardless if a player beats you off the dribble the idea is for the defense to help and recover. Rotation is a key when you get beat down low. This is the first thing you learn when you start playing man defense. Team defense wins games!

[PeteM80]

can i have sucess with this defense with my youth team? players are around 16 to 19 years old.

[T0mmyPL]

i dont think that defense is too good... if one wing attacker will cut to the basket... booom its over

[mrbunni1]

I have to say not even if its a wing, but if the ball handler is more skilled than the defender, then its pretty risky to use this as well

[WTFitsJimmy]
