Defending
Denial both sides


sketch
1
Defenders X2 and X3 work to deny passes to attackers 2 and 3, who blast cut, V-cut or L-cut to get open.

sketch

2 and 3 can backcut if denied (or on a pass fake from coach), X2 and X3 defend backdoor cuts by

- staying in their deny position,
- snapping their head to deny with the other arm, or
- opening up and staying between the ball and the attacker.

Options

- coach shoots, defenders must box out and rebound
- coach dribble penetrates, defenders help and recover on a pass
- coach has two balls, X2 and X3 must intercept or deflect passes to O2 and O3
- live 2 on 2 on a pass, see Duke two-man contesting wide, Villanova 2 on 2 whack-out.

Bill Pangos - no ball, X2 and X3 deny for one minute.
 
Lloyd Mitchell (Greenvale) - defenders deny, play 2 on 2 on a pass, the weakside defender jumps to the splitline.
