Defending
Close-out from gap


sketch
1
On a pass from coach to attacker 1, defender 2 closes out from a gap position, forces middle or baseline or plays straight up as coach requires, optionally mirrors any ball movement or reacts to foot fakes (e.g., pop off).

2
Rotate defender to attacker, 2 becomes the next attacker when 1 passes back to coach.

3 closes out when coach passes to 2.

Vary player and coach positions, e.g., close-out on a pass out top.

See Huggins, Continuous, Spurs and Weakside close-outs, Izzo jump to the ball, and 1 on 1 stops.
