Mastering the 3-0-2 Press: Coach Duane Joubert`s System

This course, led by veteran coach Duane Joubert, provides a structured and systematic approach to teaching and implementing a full-court press defense. The instruction begins with the foundations of the 3-0-2 press, breaking down responsibilities within the first and second traps while emphasizing proper stance, angles, and communication. Through detailed explanations and guided demonstrations, Coach Joubert highlights how to develop anticipation skills, teach athletes to “lock the door” defensively, and convert deflections into fast-break opportunities.

The curriculum progresses through a series of increasingly complex drills that replicate live-game conditions. Beginning with controlled tip drills, the lessons advance to 3-on-1 transition exercises, baseline square alignments, and situational breakdowns of both offensive and defensive reads. The course culminates with the Four-Minute Press Drill, a comprehensive training tool that integrates conditioning, decision-making, and execution under pressure. Coaches and athletes will come away with a clear progression they can apply directly to practice, ensuring their teams are equipped with both the tactical understanding and competitive readiness required to sustain pressure throughout an entire game.
