X3 and X2 trap when 3 attacks baseline and keeps his dribble alive. The trappers have their arms straight up, they foul with the body. X1 rotates down to take 2, denying a pass out of the trap.
UConn's defensive principles are
- ball pressure, everywhere - 1-4 (the other four defenders have responsibility for the ball) - force the ball (sideline, baseline) - contain the ball (deny penetration) - rotation - contest the shot - rebound and run. (Variation - X1 defends a coach) |
