Green shell
 | 1 Lawrence Frank NBA Coaches Playbook "Green" means fronting the low post. From a 4-on-4 shell, defenders shift as usual on a guard-to-guard pass. On a guard-to-forward pass, the guard who didn't pass slice cuts to the ballside post. Here defender X4 must jump to the ball, defend the cut, then get to a "green" in front of 4, with hands high and butt low, yelling "green, green, green!". Weakside forward X3 gets to a tag (help) position in the lane to prevent a lob pass, yelling "tag, tag, tag!". On-ball defender X2 is in a hard, no-middle stance, pressuring the ball to discourage a post pass, using the nearest hand to trace the ball to limit the vision of the passer. X1 gives elbow protection and is ready to help if 2 drives middle. |
 | 2 2 passes back to 1, 3 comes up weakside, 4 replaces 3. (Option - 4 tries to reverse-pivot seal on the pass to 1, see Defending - 4 on 1 post) |
 | 3 1 swings the ball to 3, who passes to 4, 1 slice cuts to the low post. Repeat the drill, all defenders get to defend a slice into the post, and tag the post. The Nets want to take away the middle of the floor, protect the three-second lane, contest shots, and block out and rebound. (Variations) - make a post entry, throw the ball back out to the passer - trap the post |
