What happens when your team can’t even guard itself in practice?
This course answers that exact question. James Anderson breaks down the unconventional, data-driven defensive system he built after watching his team get run off the floor by a more athletic opponent in the state championship game, the same system that carried his program to a state title the very next year. He covers why conceptual defense works and the data behind forcing ball handlers to their weak hand, how to guard the ball using hip-to-hip collisions instead of traditional zigzag footwork, smart post defense principles, and a simplified approach to ball-screen coverage any team can install.
The course’s standout concept is peel switching, a strong-side rotation built on the three-point arc that sets this defense apart from nearly every other system, taught alongside proven drills like 10-foot collisions, ball-on-back one-on-one, funnel one-on-one lock-left, a dedicated peel-switch drill, and a five-on-five hostage-dribble drill. This isn’t theory pulled from a textbook, it’s a complete defensive system built from real game data and player input, refined through a painful loss, and proven with a state championship.
