Rob Lanier & Josten Crow — Building an Elite Ball Screen Offense

Build a more disciplined and connected defense with Coach Justin Crow’s detailed approach to defensive rotations, ball pressure, weak-side help, and defending modern offensive actions. Drawing from his Division I coaching experience, Coach Crow breaks down the positioning, communication, and responsibilities needed to make a defense work at a high level. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Defensive Positioning: Teach players where to be on and off the ball to take away driving and passing opportunities.

• Ball Pressure & Containment: Develop aggressive on-ball defense while keeping the ball from creating advantages.

• Weak-Side Help: Build reliable rotations and help responsibilities when the ball is attacked or passed across the floor.

• Defensive Rotations: Learn how players can rotate, recover, and protect the paint without giving up open shots.

• Ball Screen Defense: Understand defensive responsibilities against ball screens, rolls, pops, and empty-side actions.

• Personnel-Based Adjustments: Adjust defensive positioning and responsibilities based on the strengths and tendencies of the players you are guarding.

Take Coach Crow’s Division I defensive concepts straight to your gym and give your players a clear system for pressuring the ball, communicating, rotating, and defending today’s offensive attacks
