4 on 4 shell. Force the ballhandler towards the sideline, deny attackers one pass away from the ball, have one foot in the lane defending two passes away, and both feet in the lane when three passes away. Defenders must see the ball and their man.

coachesclipboard.ca - weakside defenders should have two feet in the lane when the ball is below the foul line, and one foot in the lane with the ball above it.

2 runs a give and go with 4, X2 denies by jumping to the ball. 3 and 5 fill cut.

On coach's signal, 4 passes to 3, X5 denies 5 (one pass away).

On ball reversal to 5, 3 and 4 exchange, or 3 screens away for 4 (shown). X3 is now two passes away from the ball and steps in the direction of the ball. X4 moves up the lane and should be telling X3 what to do because he can see the entire court. Defenders should never be more than one pass away from their man.

X5 defends a give and go by 5.
