Defending Pin Downs by Andrew Grantz

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Defending pin downs

When defending various screens I feel it is best to make shooters become drivers and make drivers become shooters. Both of these defenses are in this article as well as how to switch the screen. The player guarding the screener is just as important, if not more important, than the player guarding the cutter. The screeners defender must know if he is jammimg cutters, switching, or opening to let a teammate through.
