Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Sean Hobson. We're talking about right now our man-to-man defense. The key thing in a man-to-man defense is obviously, the man that has the ball. If that's your responsibility, that's the most important thing on the court at this particular time. Nobody else on the floor can score the ball, only the man with the ball. So, his responsibility right now, as a defender, is to defend this guy. He's not worried about anybody else on the floor because his assignment in our defensive scheme is man-to-man on the guy that has the ball at this particular point in time. So, when your guy has the ball you need to close out on him, we want him to pressure him, we want him down in a good defensive stance. He's playing him to his weak side, he's causing him to try to go back to the middle and not to go here to the left. And we want in a good stance, we want our hands up, ready to play with our hands. That's how we close out, that's how we play the man on the ball. Now, if we want to deny this guy getting the ball, we can go ahead and move him around too, so he can play strong on this side because he has nobody to pass to on the left side. That's just a different end philosophy on how you want to play these guys, but the main thing is when you're on the ball, that's your first assignment is to take that man out in the man-to-man defense."
