4 on 1 shell
 | 1 Four attackers with defender X1 on 1. Start with on-ball defence, then - 1 passes to 2, X1 jumps to the ball into a deny or gap position - 2 passes to 3, X1 jumps to a help position - 3 passes to 4, X1 sinks in the lane to maintain a help position. Option - to start, X1 passes to 1 from in the paint and closes out. Variations - 2 has the ball to start, 1 cuts to the block and back, X1 denies the cut - 2 dribble penetrates, X1 helps or stunts, recovers on a pass to 1 - 2 passes to 1, X1 closes out - 1 face cuts or backcuts on a pass to 2 then comes back out to the wing - replace 2 with a coach. Lloyd Mitchell (Greenvale) - 2 has the ball to start, X1 denies a lead to the wing three times, then allows the pass, 1 drives baseline, X1 takes two or three slides, 1 stops in the lane and passes back to 2. |
 | 2 When 4 shoots, X1 boxes out and chases down the rebound. Variations - 4 dribble penetrates then goes back out (X1 helps, recovers) - 4 has the ball, flash cut by 1 - 1 posts up - 4 skip passes to 1, play is live. See Duke 6-point contesting, and 7-point contesting. Winning Hoops - X1 tries to stop a drive by 4 (who can shoot), then recovers to contest a shot and block out when 2 picks up another ball and passes to 1. Don't go for a shot fake. 2007 Tasman Coaches Clinic - Bull in the ring - start with denying a wing lead, then defend a flash cut from the weakside, then a post cut from the weakside. Play 1 on 1 on the catch. Mitchell - when the ball is reversed to 4, 1 cuts into the lane, X1 denies with a strong arm-bar, forces the cutter low, snaps his head, and denies a post-up from the top side, now it's one-on-one, if X1 overplays, the ball can be swung back to 3 and 1 seal out X1 for a pass. |
