This Bill Self 1-3-1 Press Offense is designed to attack the traps in the back-court while also handling “soft” 2-2-1 presses. The entire offense is built on the 1-3-1 alignment which use great spacing an passing to keep the ball in the hands of your best ball handlers. It will also keep your best finisher in scoring position during open court opportunities. If you keep three outlets near the ball handler and place a person on the back side of the press for a possible throw-over, then this press allows you to attack any type of pressure.
