Defending Wootten horseshoe

| 1 Morgan Wootten
Attackers are initially stationary, defenders adjust to ball movement. Pass the ball around the perimeter until the whistle, hold the ball, defenders can continue to move into proper position, coach checks the defence, then continue on coach's signal. Deny attackers one pass away from the ball.
4 on 4
a)
On coach's signal, wing attacker 2 drives baseline, X2 allows it. Helpside X3 sprints across the lane to stop the drive outside the lane, yelling as loud as he can. X4 rotates down to seal off 3, X1 moves toward the foul line.
If 2 is stopped, reverse the ball to 1. If 2 shoots, X3 boxes out the shooter, X4 takes 3, and X1 takes the nearest of 4 and 1. |

| 2 b)
1 drives outside from the guard position. X2 must stop the dribbler. If he can't get there in time, X3 must come across the lane to stop the ballhandler, and X4 seals off the (weakside) wing area.
c)
If 1 drives inside, X4 should stop him before he penetrates the scoring area. If X4 can't get there in time, he should seal off the wing area, and X3 should stop the dribbler. |

| 3 5 on 5
a) Low post
2 drives baseline, X5 defending the low post rotates to pick him up, X3 rotates down to cover 5, X4 seals off the weakside wing, X1 slides towards the foul line.
If 5 is at the high post, X5 is not involved in the rotation, and is one pass away no matter where the ball is.
|

| 4 b) One-man front
X5 rotates to stop 2, X3 picks up the low post, X1 must rotate and pick up the weakside wing. X4 is not involved in the rotation. |
