Winning Hoops

This is a 1-2-2 that becomes a 2-3 when the ball is on the wing, taking away 3-point shots as well as passes inside.

X4 and X5 need to be "up-and-in" the lane when the ball is on top in order to protect the middle. These defenders also have direct lane-to-corner responsibility on passes to the deep corners.

When the pass goes to the wing, X3 calls "ball" and goes out to cover. X5 fronts the post attacker and gets ready to cover the possible pass to the corner. X4 slides over to protect the middle. X2 drops back and boxes out on the weak-side post. X1 drops to the free-throw line.

When the ball is passed into the corner, X5 calls "ball" and covers the player with the ball in the corner. X4 will drop behind the post and get help from X3 who drops down. X2 continues to box out the post on the weak side and X1 rotates up and down the center line, guarding the lane

If the ball is skip-passed cross court, the closest defender takes the ball and the rest of the defenders get back into the defensive rotation as soon as possible.
