One of the most effective ways to disrupt offenses is to keep changing defenses. Being able to switch your defensive look between man and zone pressure, while utilizing various ball screen coverages in the half court are essential to creating an uncomfortable feeling for any opponent.
Marshall University head coach Tom Herrion has been running multiple changing defenses with great success. Now you can learn the “how, the when, and the why” his teams have been so successful over the years at changing their defenses. By using six different times you can change defenses, Coach Herrion has kept his opponents on edge and out of rhythm. The main goal is to “never allow your opponents to play the way they practice.”
Coach Herrion uses on court demonstrators to walk you through four different pressing defenses to get the ball out of the teams best ball handler’s hands. He provides you with shows multiple looks through his “lock” and “squeeze” concepts that focus on taking the point guard out of the play and forcing your opponents post players to bring the ball up court in transition. He finishes with his “Greyhound Drill,” a full court drill that emphasizes transition offense while immediately getting into full-court pressure on a made basket.
Coach Herrion switches his defense to two different zone looks that incorporate pressure looks in order to keep his opponents off balance. With both zone defenses, Herrion will demonstrate how they force their opponents to their trap zones at half court. He provides a detailed look at how to effectively use a 1-2-2 containing press to get two different traps. If that wasn’t enough, Herrion switches defenses again and provides a 2-1-2 pressing attack. Coach demonstrates how most teams will look to beat the 2-1-2 press and how you can shut them down by applying heavy heat on the ball.
If you opponents are lucky enough to break your pressing defenses, Coach Herrion goes in detail into three different ball screen defenses you can use against you opponents best ball handler and shooter. Coach gives you an in depth look at how they use downing/icing the screen effectively to force their opponents into the deep court in the half.
