40
 | 1 40 is fullcourt man defence. See Defence - Morgan Wootten fullcourt. a) On X4 defends the inbounds passer (on his strong hand, and force a bounce pass), drops to the line of the ball on an inbounds pass, then it's basic fullcourt pressure. X1 turns the dribbler, nose on the ball, or optionally applies light pressure, not worried about turning the dribbler, just close enough to disrupt any quick change of direction and make him feel uncomfortable. |
 | 2 b) Off X4 drops off the inbounds passer to the level of the primary ballhandler. Option - X4 looks to trap on the inbounds pass (shown). |
 | 3 On a trap, get the ball out of the point guard's hands, X1 denies a return pass, X4 recovers to 4. |
 | 4 c) Shortstop To deny an inbounds pass to a strong point guard, X4 double teams with X1. X4 face guards but gaps, X1 plays 3/4 from the middle, not allowing a pass over the top. On an inbounds pass to another attacker, X4 recovers to 4 (line of the ball) and X1 denies 1. If 1 inbounds the ball, go 40 On, X1 defends the inbounds passer then denies a return pass. Go 5 on 5 fullcourt, award the defence 2 points for a causing a turnover in their frontcourt and 1 point for a backcourt turnover. If coach calls "score it", the defence allows a basket then inbounds against fullcourt pressure. Bob Hurley - against a team that runs on made field goals, the inbounder is part of the scouting report, instead of guarding him, double the outlet (with the nearest guard, the other guard gets back), forcing him to go back for the inbounds pass, then xinbounder retreats and picks up his man, you've taken away the break 40 Tough - deny upcourt passes, including the inbounds pass, the press stays on for a backward pass (if 4 brings up the ball, X1 and X4 switch roles) - X4 tries to trap at some point, e.g., on an inbounds pass to the ballside corner, if a ballhandler turns his back, or is on a sideline, or isolated in the backcourt, or just over halfcourt - fist option - on a trap, a defender shoots the gap to contest ball reversal - rover option - X4 drops off the inbounder to a rover position behind the front line of the press, which can face guard - thumbs up - a call, X4 goes to trap on the first dribble over halfcourt. hooptactics.net - Shadow variation - X1 forces 1 down a sideline, as the ball crosses halfcourt, X4 can trap with X1, fake a double team and recover to 4 when 1 picks up the dribble, or jump switch with X1 (from the front), trying to draw a charge or force 1 into picking up the dribble. Invert variation - X1 and X4 switch prior to the inbounds pass, X4 is the on-ball defender.
