This is how you embarrass a 2-3

Jay Wright’s 1-2-2 was a chess move, not a gamble. Speed teams up, slow teams down, and strike when they least expect it

A double lob BLOB? I can honestly say I’ve never seen this play before (and I write about basketball strategy for a living)

I can honestly say I’ve never seen this version of a BLOB screen the screener before

Uncomfortable. How I would describe most teams playing against the Press Virginia 1-3-1

Fred Hoiberg's "Lanes" 1-3-1 Zone Variation No traps. Defend the passing lanes not the players

There's some college coaches that have basically solved offense Kevin Young is one of them

Sensitive content

Flex porn for the hoops sickos

It's a real tone setter to hit the backdoor special right off the jump ball

Whatever Mark Pope is doing, try to copy that

Dan Hurley offense You think you have it all covered then someone just pops free for a layup or three

I will not get tired of watching the spin backdoor anytime soon

Maybe a PERFECT BLOB? Two inside options, one outside An easy progression of reads with great spacing

Iverson stretches the defense horizontally and Spain applies acute vertical pressure Perfect combo?

I’ve used a 1-3-1 half court trap my entire coaching career… And the offense has tried (mostly unsuccessfully) to make this pass the entire time

I’m not saying you have to run the full Flex continuity as your main offense… But I am saying the Flex is like one of the best m2m BLOBs out there

2-3 zones are getting higher and wider these days To counter, you must understand how to attack through the baseline

The Nebraska Globetrotters

Despite what the text on screen shows, I think the 1-3-1 switches to a 2-3 zone If we can’t even tell in hindsight, imagine how tough it is to game plan against

"Dad, what was Press Virginia?"

Villanova's “Rover” Zone Offense 4 guards taking turns cutting into the middle and a post along the baseline holding the back line of the zone

“3 on 2 Help Coming” Replicating principles for transition offense, transition defense, press offense, and press defense

The Press Virginia denial defensive system produced some of THE UGLIEST offensive possessions EVER

“Since installing this defense, our deflections went up by 50%” Deny &amp; Disrupt causes havoc

The 5 Rules of the Merrimack 2-3 Zone Defense 1. Move on the flight of the ball 2. Nobody shoots where they catch it 3. Hands never drop below your waist 4. Stay down - don’t bite on ball fakes or shot fakes 5. Don’t get screened

Most teams sprint back on defense "Bucky Ball" does the opposite: 🏀 Attack the rebound 🏀 Jump passing lanes 🏀 Create chaos before offense even starts If they never get organized… you never have to guard it.

The ONLY press breaker I’ve used in my coaching career Never struggle against press defense again

COMPETITIVE FINISHING (Full Workout) 1 | Veer Finishing Variable finishes in traffic

Attacking Merrimack's 2-3 Zone is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions You think you know what you're doing. Then nothing fits. And you're forcing pieces.

One Minute of ELITE zone concepts from Mark Few 1. Stack Overload 2. Crack Screen 3. Pinwheel Overload 4. Rotate 5. 1-3-1 Lob Set

If BALL PRESSURE causes this much trouble for the #6 team in the country, imagine what it will do to high school guards in your conference

Jay Wright’s 1-2-2 Zone 🏀 Force turnovers 🏀 Dictate tempo 🏀 Keep opponents uncomfortable

The Bob Huggins 1-3-1 zone swallowed passing lanes and baited bad shots This is Press Virginia's change of pace defense

Auburn doesn't just run the flex pattern - they punish you on the backside Auburn uses "skip opposite" options expose over-help, isolate Broome, and unlock new scoring threats Let’s take a deeper look 🧵

Every possession starts in a 1-3-1 zone. From there? It might stay, morph into a 2-3, or shift to man How do you prepare for that?

The flex offense teaches spacing, timing, screening, and toughness - all in one package It’s NOT outdated

The ONLY press breaker I’ve used in my coaching career Never struggle against press defense again

Grease Board Scribbles - 4-OUT MULTI-OPTION PLAY

Converting a 1-3-1 zone into man-to-man defense The shot clock ticks down as the offense tries to figure out how to attack

“Since installing this defense, our deflections went up by 50%” Deny & Disrupt causes havoc
