Man that illegal defense rule looks atrocious to look at now.

Love how you incorporate direct advice from guys like Coach Nick and Coach Bennett and then you demonstrate those principles with perfect examples. Great work as always!

You always give away the opponents weakness and take away their strength... but that requires you to do your homework and then execute

Great stuff here, really cool how it showed multiple sites talking about the same concept to reinforce his point. Above & beyond!!

Love it; appreciate the effort! I share your suff with my athletes and it really helps them see where I'm coming from as a coach

Very nice, informative breakdown for any coach looking to develop a proper defensive scheme.

Such phenomenal content. Really appreciate the detail you put into these! Keep it up!

Love the video, shared with team, so comment is for detailed discussion. At 4:00 mark, the pick and roll was defended with drop coverage, and no help was needed by the corner 3 defender. One of the best help principles to use is to only commit to the help if it is actually needed. Secondly, when the ball handler got a pick on one side and ended up clearly on the right side, the same corner 3 defender was no longer the help (weak side help). You can see that the weak side help actual came over. So double whammy on the strong side corner 3 defender. I use the pack line because we don’t have a big so best to prevent any inside. And with the pack line, our principle is to just never leave the strong side corner 3 (only stunt).

Great breakdown! This makes me proud to be Red Raider alum! In an offensively driven game, we thrive by dominating defensively

Great breakdown, great content!

Keep going... I really like that you referenced other bb channels

As usual! Great content!!

Love it, great videos every time.

Great content!!!

Loved seeing all my favorite BBall content creators in one video! Great content as always

best basketball channel on youtube 100%

very good! Hope you make more vids

Great video. I've always being send baseline player/coach.

Quality content. Shootout to those "can you hear me shaking my head" 😂

I play at a high level division two and i love these videos gives different perspectives of how to win games

If you have time, I Would love to see you analyze Ayo Dosumnu, Luka Garza, and Cassius Winston's game. I love to hear others opinion. Go Illinois!

I love seeing SDSU in these videos! Watching SDSU over the years has given me more respect for defense. In games where SDSU is blowing out the opponent I root for the opponent to score as little as possible more than the Aztecs to run up the score.

this is one fucking amazing channel, you really don't have enough subscribers for the kind of content you create

dope video

Find it funny people say modern players couldn't do well with 90s defenses even though certain defenses were banned back then

The defense should be allowed to do whatever they want regarding positioning. Either the offense can make shots or not.

Great video, but can U break down this past years Florida st

Would packline be good in hs basketball. Usually in hs they are not good shooters. Is it hard for kids to lean?

This is the way I have always viewed it (and I'm surprised I haven't heard many others voice this opinion) . You have formation strength and sideline; like football. If you have more players on one side, then you inherently have more of an opportunity to help since they are technically closer together. You also have the sideline which counts as a defense. What a true defense(of the future) should do, is for to the side with the most help defenders. This also includes the sideline when deciding. So to take a trivial example... 3v3 (in 2k) you should force to the help if both are on the same side. If not you force to sideline. Does anyone agree?

Which of the 3 styles has been best on average?

Florida st would deny one pass away while being in and extreme on the line up the line stance. Then they would guard the ball like a pack line would. U should break this down because u didn’t mention this type in ur video

Help-the-helper, no excuses.

Who's video is it at 10:16? Like who is the guy that is speaking?

Hey has anyone heard of the SWARM defense by Wayne Walters?

Old heads complain about how the rules make offense easier today yet you literally couldn’t play help defense in their era 😐

how didn’t i know this

There aren't enough RELIABLE Stretch-5/4 bigs to make 3-pointers. 😑😑😑 That would punish Texas Tech's style of defense.

Never help one pass away, the easiest play in basketball on offense, passing to someone who is wide open right next to you.

So scouting is important

Would either the Pack Line or the No Middle defense work in the NBA?

Video was off to a great start, then you involved coach Nick. Bye channel.

I swear google is spying on me

I think you can help one pass away if you start in help

you forgot defensive 3 sec also

Only bcuz of the mid range is not used

Pack line defense Aka "drain 3s on em all day"

James harden would love this 😂😂😂

90s defense was easier couldnt zone up on people

That's because Jordan kept trying to help too much

Bring back those ILLEGAL DEFENSE RULES. 🤣🤣🤣 It held players accountable for being solid 1-on-1 perimeter defenders.
