Coaches at every level of play are constantly searching for ways of facilitating the teaching process, especially with regard to pressure defense.

We found our answer to the problem (teaching pressure defense) at the U. of Cincinnati. We liked the way the Bearcat coaches used a "box" concept in teaching full-court, three-quarter court, and half-court defense, and we promptly borrowed it for our pressure defense.

As you can see in Diag. 1, we start by drawing a line down the middle of the court from baseline to baseline, dividing the court into vertical halves.

We teach our defenders to keep the offense on one side of the floor as they move from backcourt to frontcourt. The size of the offense's operating room will diminish the more they advance, and we try to lock them up in the "box" - prevent the ball from being moved to another box.

Some of you may be thinking: "He's talking about ballside/helpside principles; that isn't anything new."
