Coach Majerus teaches and demonstrates several fundamental defensive concepts including closeouts and defending cutters. He also discusses the idea of defending different types of screens as well as hand-offs. When taught and installed correctly, the triangle-and-two becomes a huge disruptor to any offense. Triangle & Two Defense Techniques One of the key techniques that Majerus coaches is the “fake and fade,” which prevents shooters from getting open looks at the basket. The fake and fade technique takes away a player’s shot and forces a dribble drive. That is exactly what Majerus wants. Players are forced to become dribblers and dribble right into the triangle. To help counter dribble penetration, you will see how Coach Majerus teaches “sliding the triangle.” In addition, Majerus presents game footage that reinforces the fake and fade, sliding the triangle, and the other concepts taught in this stifling defense. Shut down your opponent’s top two scorers, disrupt screens, and stop dribble penetration with Coach Majerus’s complete triangle & two defense. It’s a defense that takes away what an opponent does best and it forces teams to prepare for another defensive look. From one of the masters of college basketball, Coach Majerus’s triangle-and-two presentation belongs in any successful coach’s collection. Rent Triangle & Two Defense DVD today.
