hopeless instructions...im sure he's got more than 5 players on offence when he starts drawing all over the board...keep it clear verbally & visually.

Geez, guys. You wouldn't run this defense for an entire game. You won't run ANY defense for a whole game, if you're smart. You adjust it to the offense. This is a good defense for when the offense tries zealously to drive inside. If you have a choice, you always want to force lower percentage shot, and, if the other team has weak three-point shooters, you want them trying those instead of getting under the basket. Let's try not to be so close minded. Keep all your options on the table.

if u have shooters, all u gotta do is split the middle or drive baseline, kick and swing for the open 3.

Damn! I hope your opponents got no (!) outside shooters at all.
