Celtics jump to the ball
 | 1 Brad Stevens Winning with undersized teams (pdf) pickandpop.net X1 closes out on a pass from the wing to the top, then jumps to the ball when 1 swings the ball and basket cuts. (Stevens says there is a line of defenders under the rim, I like this rotation better since there is always a player at the top for ball reversal after the basket cut) |
 | 2 X1 fronts 1 in the post then moves on-the-line, up-the-line when the ball is passed back up top. See Defending - 4 on 1 post (to prevent a reverse-pivot seal, front pivot on the top foot). |
 | 3 X1 moves to a help position on ball reversal then arm bars 1's cut to the ballside post, and moves to a front. (Variations) - 3/4 in the post - live 1 on 1. |
 | 4 On a pass back up top, the next defender closes out, X1 is off (rotate offence to defence). See Defending - 1 on 1 with passers, Villanova jump to the ball, 7-point defending, Dick Bennett post defence, Post play - Pitt 1 on 1 live.  |
