Winning the Close Games

Defending Against the Last Shot

"The vast majority of games that are decided by last shots are won on put backs -- NOT the shots."

GAME STRATEGY.

  • Be aware of the team foul situation, and if you have a foul(s) to give.
  • Contest all shots, but do not foul.
  • Switch all screens, and attack the passing lanes.

ATTACK RATHER THAN REACT.

  • Use a combination defense, especially against a star player.
  • Be deceptive. Show man, but play zone on inbounds pass, or show zone and play man on inbounds pass.
  • Be disruptive. Double team to disrupt any set play.

REBOUND ! ! !

  • You must eliminate any offensive rebound of a missed shot.
  • Assume all shots are going to be missed and box out.
  • Do NOT watch the flight of the ball to see if it is going to be successful.
  • The majority of games won in the last seconds are a result of a successful putback or rebound shot off a missed shot.
