Defensive systems in basketball refer to the alignments, positioning, and defensive schemes that are put in place in order to prevent an opponent from scoring. To play good defense in basketball, you must have quickness, footwork, and deep knowledge of the fundamentals. Throughout the course of a game, teams can employ several defensive strategies, but all fall into one of three categories: man-to-man, zone, or combination defenses. Building a defensive system is a sure-fire way to become a top contender. 

In this course, Coach Nicki Collen discusses what it takes to build a defensive system. She breaks down everything from scouts, language, ball screens, transitions, and ball pressure is covered!
