Cheryl Reeve: Loop and Elbow Offenses and Counter Sets With fewer teams playing with traditional big men, teams have to be able to get the ball inside. Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve takes you through two sets – Loop and Elbow – that she has developed through the years. It’s a motion-oriented half-court offense that uses multiple cutting and screening actions that confuse defenses. In the video, Coach Reeve starts with 5-on-0 demonstrations and builds up to 5-on-5 detailing the spacing and timing needed for success. Loop Series The Loop series starts with the traditional zipper action and then uses such moves as the flash cut that comes on the pass back to the post player who set the down screen of the zipper. Using the flash cut inverts the offense and creates an easy scoring opportunity for a wing who is being defended by someone not used to playing in the post. Other moves used include the flare screen, side ball screen, stagger screen, and double UCLA cut. Coach Reeve shares options out of the Loop that give you ways to take advantage of your personnel. Elbow Series Coach Reeve introduces the Elbow series from a Horns set. The series is a set of plays designed to create favorable matchups and it can be used in late-game situations where execution is critical. One play has the point guard use a UCLA cut after an entry pass to the post player. When this fails, a pin-down screen by the opposite post can generate an easy post-up opportunity. Reeve shows you double-down screens, handoffs, flex actions and more out of the Elbow series. She also touches on how to disguise Elbow plays using the same initial actions used in the Loop series. Using Counters At some point, defenses will catch on to what you are doing and come up with something that takes away some of the best actions of the Elbow and Loop. Coach Reeve goes through a number of counters in both series to take advantage of the defense. In the Loop series for example, Reeve has the player move to the corner looking for the ball if a defense anticipates a down screen. That simple adjustment gives the wing player a look for an open shot. Reeve also shows you how to run Loop to get into Elbow series plays. These multiple options keep opposing defenses guessing while getting your best players the scoring opportunities you want. Reeve is one of the WNBA’s most successful coaches and her exceptional detail in this video will not only help you gain a better understanding of flow and spacing on offense, but also help you to maximize player execution.

Mastering the Huber Defense: Unleashing Defensive Excellence Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on mastering the Huber Defense, a defensive strategy that is sure to elevate your basketball game to new heights. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the Huber Defense, providing you with valuable insights, expert tips, and detailed breakdowns to help you outperform your opponents on the court. Whether you're a seasoned basketball player or a novice looking to improve your defensive skills, this guide is your key to unlocking defensive excellence. Understanding the Huber Defense The Huber Defense, named after its creator and renowned basketball coach, Coach Huber, is a highly effective defensive strategy designed to disrupt the opponent's offense and gain a competitive edge. This defensive system emphasizes constant pressure, strategic positioning, and rapid transitions, making it a formidable tactic to counter even the most skilled offensive players. Key Principles of the Huber Defense 1. Aggressive Ball Pressure One of the fundamental principles of the Huber Defense is applying relentless ball pressure. This involves staying close to your assigned opponent, denying them easy passing lanes, and pressuring them into making mistakes. By applying intense ball pressure, you force the opposing team into rushed decisions, turnovers, and ultimately disrupt their offensive flow. 2. Help Defense and Rotations Another crucial aspect of the Huber Defense is the emphasis on help defense and rotations. Effective communication and teamwork are vital in executing timely rotations to cover open players and provide support to teammates in defensive transitions. By maintaining constant awareness and employing swift rotations, you can neutralize scoring opportunities and frustrate the opposition. 3. Active Hands and Deflections Active hands and deflections play a pivotal role in the success of the Huber Defense. By actively contesting passes, disrupting dribbles, and deflecting the ball, you create chaos for the offense, forcing turnovers and creating fast break opportunities. Mastering the art of deflections requires anticipation, quick reflexes, and precise timing, all of which contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Huber Defense. Implementing the Huber Defense To successfully implement the Huber Defense, you need to focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your defensive prowess: 1. Communication and Defensive Assignments Clear and effective communication is essential in the Huber Defense. Assigning defensive roles, switching assignments when necessary, and maintaining constant communication with your teammates ensure seamless execution of the defensive system. By communicating effectively, you can anticipate offensive movements, adjust defensive positions, and quickly respond to any changes on the court. 2. Footwork and Stance Proper footwork and defensive stance are crucial for maintaining balance, agility, and the ability to quickly react to offensive moves. Maintain a low stance, with your knees flexed, and your weight evenly distributed on the balls of your feet. This position allows for quick lateral movements, better stability, and the ability to stay in front of your opponent effectively. 3. Anticipation and Timing Anticipating offensive plays and reading your opponent's movements are vital skills in executing the Huber Defense. By studying your opponent's tendencies, recognizing offensive patterns, and developing a keen sense of anticipation, you can disrupt their rhythm and gain a significant advantage. Timing is equally important; knowing when to contest shots, steal passes, or help defensively can make a significant impact on the outcome of the game. The Benefits of the Huber Defense Mastering the Huber Defense offers numerous benefits that can elevate your defensive capabilities and contribute to  the success of your team. Here are some of the key benefits of implementing the Huber Defense: 1. Defensive Intensity and Pressure The Huber Defense is known for its relentless intensity and pressure on the opposing team. By applying constant ball pressure and disrupting passing lanes, you force the offense into making mistakes, turnovers, and poor shot selections. This defensive strategy creates a sense of unease and frustration for the opposition, leading to a higher chance of turnovers and reduced scoring opportunities. 2. Disrupting Offensive Flow The Huber Defense excels at disrupting the flow of the opposing team's offense. With its emphasis on active hands, deflections, and quick rotations, this defensive system can throw off offensive plays and force the opposition into improvisation. By disrupting their rhythm and timing, you can neutralize their most potent offensive weapons and gain a significant advantage. 3. Fast Break Opportunities A key advantage of the Huber Defense is its ability to generate fast break opportunities. By creating turnovers and securing defensive rebounds, you can initiate quick transitions from defense to offense. This fast-paced style of play often catches opponents off guard, allowing your team to capitalize on scoring opportunities before the defense has a chance to set up. 4. Team Cohesion and Communication Implementing the Huber Defense requires a high level of teamwork, cohesion, and communication among players. Each team member must understand their defensive assignments, rotate effectively, and communicate seamlessly to cover open players and anticipate offensive movements. By working together cohesively, your team can establish a strong defensive presence and make it difficult for opponents to find open scoring opportunities. 5. Psychological Advantage The Huber Defense not only impacts the physical aspect of the game but also has a psychological effect on the opposing team. The constant pressure, active hands, and disruptive nature of this defensive strategy can lead to frustration, doubt, and decreased confidence for the opposition. As a result, the Huber Defense can tilt the momentum in your team's favor, demoralize opponents, and create a psychological advantage that can greatly impact the outcome of the game. Conclusion Mastering the Huber Defense is a game-changer for any basketball player or team seeking to elevate their defensive performance. By implementing the key principles, techniques, and strategies outlined in this guide, you can outperform opponents and establish defensive excellence on the court. Remember, the Huber Defense is not just a defensive strategy; it's a mindset that demands relentless effort, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence.
