  • Match-up & Deny Wing Entry Pass

     

    We want x4 & x3 to "match-up" with their men on the wings and not allow the entry pass to be made or force the offense to retreat for the entry pass in the direction of the middle lien

  • Playing 1/2 Way Between 3 pt line & Elbow FT Line Extended

     

    We are allowing the 1st pass to be made

     

    x1 goes into "DENY" position not allowing the reverse pass from the wing to the "TOP"

     

    x4 & x3 turn their bodies in a way where they are forcing the man with the ball only the option of passing to the corner

  • Alignment vs Baseline Screening Action

     

    x3 takes the corner pass

     

    x5 remains in the high post

     

    x1 drops to give us maximum weak side rebounding coverage and help on any possible drive if x4 were to catch the ball

     

  • Alignment vsPost Entry Pass

     

    One way we play this is to double down from the top with x5

     

    x1 recovers to the high post on 4 or takes away any dive cut from 4 to the basket

     

    x3 plays the out pass between 2 & 3

     

    x4 has any weak side skip pass if 1 moves to the wing

  • Alignment vs 3-2 Formation

     

    We match-up with x2 taking 4 & x5 taking 5

     

    On the 1st pass, the zone re-shapes to its original formation

  • Alignment vs 3-2 Formation Short Corner Pass Give & Go

     

    x2 takes the short corner pass to 5

     

    x5 drops to cover the low post when 4 dives

     

    x3 moves back to cover the high post

     

    x1 drops to the weak side for rebounding & skip pass responsibilities

  • Alignment vs 3-2 Formation Short Corner Pass

     

    x3 doubles down on the pass with x2

     

    x4 takes the low post

     

    x1 drops weak side

     

    x5 stays in the high post with x4

     

    On the pass back to x3 the zone returns to it's original formation

  • Alignment vs 2-3 Formation Dribble Entry

     

    x1 stays between the ball & the 3 pt line influencing the ball to the wing area

     

    On the weak side where there is no wing x4 picks-up the dribble and x1 goes into "DENY POSITION" on a pass back to 2

     

    x5 moves with the high post

     

    x2 reads 5

     

    On dribble entry to the strong side

     

    x1 stays with the ball

     

    x3 drops with the wing man to the corner if he should drop
