❌ Don’t help off the strong side corner ❌

This is an age old “rule” in Basketball, but we ask “why not”?

In the half court, our overall defensive focus was to contain the ball and have the shortest closeouts & rotations possible.  We wanted clarity and decisiveness, so our rule was “if the ball is coming towards you, as a scoring threat, rotate”.  

Two questions to always ask if you want to grow; “Why”? and “Why not”?

This scheme created disruption, and because it was unpredictable for the offense, helped us become a highly efficient defense.
