man to man defense

In this series, Coach Marcus Thompson from Our Lady of the Lake University teaches the fundamentals of man to man defense. We start on the wing and then move up to the top of the key. The second series is about defending on a ball screen. A defender will go over the top, work with the big on a soft or hard hedge or go under the screen. There are specific fundamentals for doing each of those well. The last set of videos is about closing out on a shooter and why a defender uses specific techniques depending on who he is guarding.
