Brian Field has gained so much knowledge from one of the best brains of the NBA world. From Dave Price to Kipper Todd to David Carrier he has been learning from all of the greats of the game. Field has also made a full court pressing system which is based on the details and philosophies from each coach. Well, to be very honest his system of full court defensive system is no doubt one of the most chaotic system in the Basketball and the reason is his abilities to create unthinkable traps in the court. Black 1-2-1-1 Well, in the typical 1-2-1-1 full court trapping defense, all you have to do is to increase your speed up and force some rushed shots and passes. But the case is different in this case as the coach field uses the same philosophy but there is an addition of the flooding system. The moment ball gets into the front court and into the deep corner, the defense floods the paint that eventually saves the rim from easy baskets. The coach Field uses this system off of any made basket in the paint.Whenever you are forcing the opponent player to play a false shot or turn the ball over, your team will be there to assist you and will help you create re-tapping angles and opportunities. Communication is everything for this kind of defense. White Run and Jump Man-to-man-run and jump press are shown by the coach Field while building on his defense system. He has explained everything so beautifully and has highlighted key points like the element of surprise and why he doesn’t this as a typical run and jump press.The moment defense turns their back at the half court, the trail defender is being used by the coach Field for sprinting ahead and trap just after half court. This will allow a long, cross the court skip pass as an open look out of the trap. The team will be able to make create deflections and pressure all over the floor when they take away the passing lanes with off-ball defenders. Full 2-2-1 This is kind of a traditional approach which is being used by the coach Field. He uses the 2-2-1 full court press to lure the opponents in traps and forces them to make mistakes just pass half court. So, its all about breaking into the strengths of the opponents and forcing them up the sideline into a trap with his most athletic and long players. When the ball starts moving up the floor, the trapping players start moving up the floor as well. Eventually, the players start to trust each other as they will set out once the traps occur to cover open areas. Blue 2-3 Zone Trap The coach Field tries to change the pace while taking advantage of the stoppage in play. Using a packed in style of play, guards start the implementation of the trap the moment ball gets below the free throw line. The defenders will be focusing on trapping in the deep corner and only allowing a skip pass. Pink 1-3-1 So, there is another technique which is very effective in the Field’s Chaos pressing system which is Pink 1-3-1. In this half court trap technique, the players fly all over the floor trapping in the four corners. This trapping defense is being used by the coach Field to trap in the high corners, low corners, or all over; this style of defense is used at a stoppage of play or during a timeout.

It is a trapping defense unique in that it is not necessarily trying to force turnovers right away, but to force opponents into turnover situations later in games. Players will learn when to trap and how through a series of drills which are explained by Coach Rhoades. The core of Double Fist starts with the 2-on-1 Corral where players learn to speed up ball handlers and force them to the sideline. The drills progress to a 2-on-3 Corral, a 3-on-3 Trap, and a 4-on-4 Trap Interceptor. Each is explained so that you can teach your players the Double Fist. Diamond Full Court Press The final variation of a press used by Rhoades, the Diamond Press is not the typical Diamond that many other programs utilize.

Coach Rhoades explains how he likes and uses stunts to force opponents out of the middle of the floor and closer to a sideline. It is there where Rhoades’ defense can dictate to the offense.

Bob Huggins: Full & Half-Court Pressure Defense West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins is the master of pressure defense and shares with you system in this video. Huggins has over 850 career wins and has taken his teams (Akron, Cincinnati, and West Virginia) to 24 NCAA tournament berths. He has done it largely because of his relentless full-court pressure defense. In this video, Huggins gets into the details of his defense, how it developed, keys he uses with his players, and drills that he uses on a daily basis. Press Philosophy For Huggins, pressure defense is all about effort and activity. You will hear Huggins talk about how to encourage players to play with maximum effort. Coach Huggins will show you how the principles of half-court defense are extended into the full court. One of the most basic principles in Huggins’ system is forcing a ball handler to go to his weak hand. Another is making big post players dribble. Huggins likes to expose weak ball handlers. His defense does not give up any space and pressures opponents for all 40 minutes of the game. Players must pressure the ball at all times, deny inbound passes, and look for trapping opportunities. After a made basket, Huggins’ players immediately find their man and deny them the ball. Disrupt Spacing Offenses are based upon spacing which can help provide direct passes that lead to good shots. Coach Huggins’ defense forces teams to pass over, under, or around, but never through. Forcing passes that are not direct translates into poorer shots for offenses. Huggins believes in fronting the post to force lobs which take time and allows for the defense to rotate and get into position to defend it. Trapping Huggins makes all of his players constantly look for traps. Defenders force the ball to lines and give help defense in line. This leads to trap situations and also prevents direct drives to the basket. Players are taught to never play with their hands down. When they do, they are easier to screen. 4-on-4 + 1 Drill When you press and trap, you are going to have to play at a disadvantage at times. To prepare for those situations, Huggins uses this drill which he demonstrates for you. In 4-on-4 + 1, the defense plays at a disadvantage. The defense must rotate properly and pressure the ball to take away direct passes. Those playing help defense are on the help line and defenders one pass away are in the passing lane. Q&A Session Huggins finishes the session with a question and answer session. He is asked about pressing on a miss, trapping on a ball screen, and much more. If you are looking for a defensive system that can really frustrate opponents, Coach Huggins’ DVD is for you.
