X1 sets up just inside the top of the key and X2 and X3 set up a little farther outside the arc. If you have a very quick, aggressive point guard, allow him/her to pressure the ball all over the court. The defenders set up a little deeper than in "80" (see Diagram D), and just "float" in front of the offense, slowing their progression up the floor, while keeping the ball in front of them (no long passes). The objective is to control the tempo, slow down the offense a little and burn some clock.
It is "safe" because there is no real gambling, you don't give up the lay-up, and there is less chance of committing a foul. This is a "safe" press with just mild pressure applied and no trapping. They ALWAYS looked for this trap no matter what the call was. But usually it was 'one and done" and everyone retreats looking for the half court trap. With "80", Coach Sar says they could usually get one good, hard trap deep and sometimes a second trap either just before or after half-court. X4 now drops back as the deep, middle "safety".Įach time the ball is reversed, the defenders must give up some ground and move backward some so that X1 will have a better angle to trap. X5 now rotates up to the ball-side sideline at half-court to prevent the pass up the sideline. As the ball is reversed to the opposite sideline, X3 now prevents the sideline dribble penetration, X1 sprints over to trap and X2 denies the middle pass. Notice that your "back unit" has rotated with X4 and X5 assuming a position similar to what they started with in Diagram A. X3 should not leave the middle until X2 is there as this could allow the ball to get up the middle. X3 waits in the middle until X2 rotates over to the middle and then X3 slides to the right. If the ball is passed back to the inbounder, X1 slides over a little but still wants to deny the pass back to O2. teach X4 and X5 to keep their butts toward the middle of the floor to get to the sideline for steals and deflections. X5 drops back as the safety in the middle, deep to prevent the long diagonal pass. X4 slides up to the ball-side half-court line to prevent the pass up the sideline. If the ball is along the right sideline, X2 and X1 trap while X3 prevents the pass into the middle. X2 and X3 have sideline and middle responsibility, preventing dribble-penetration up the sideline and closing the trap with X1. If you want extreme pressure (like late in the game), go straight man-to-man. He/she can either attack and trap immediately, or wait until the ball-handler starts the dribble and then attack. X1 has responsibility for pressuring the ball and stopping penetration back to the middle. We always want to keep the ball out of the middle and force toward the sidelines. This is the aggressive 3/4 court trapping press.
