X1, X2 and X3 defend man to man, X4 and X5 defend in a tandem zone.
Can be done fullcourt too.
coachingbball.proboards.com - for a tandem and 3, the middle and baseline players use 1-3-1 rules, the point and wing players match up and play man-to-man. (Set up the tandem whenever a player guarded man-to-man gets the ball. Optionally force left when the ball is out top.) - you can have weak or strong zone defenders - the man-to-man players can rotate into normal help defence positions - when the ball is on the wing with a player guarded man to man, zone defenders cover the ballside high and low post (a tandem) - if a zone defender guards the ball, he should not extend beyond the 3-point line, and the other zone defender should protect the basket - shots by the other two attackers should be contested and outside the key. - three players are guarded 1-on-1, front a post player, deny perimeter players and forget help - the other two players are not guarded at all - the stick guys do not leave the lane to cover the other two unless you tell them to - you could have a stick player trap the ball if a star gets a pass. |
