Defense

Pick up full

- not always, but have it in our bag.

Full-court ball pressure when we choose it--set the tone early.

Everyone defends

- never take a defensive play off.

No possessions off. Effort and focus from five players.

Everyone rebounds

Offense: Bigs crash, 2 guards get back.
Defense: Everyone crashes.

Box Out Technique:

Find -- quickly locate your man/nearest man.
Hit -- put a forearm in their chest and step over/in front.
Get -- aggressively pursue the ball, don't wait for it to come to you.

Talk nonstop.

Constant communication: matchups, screens, help, and coverage.

Active hands

- get into your man's space.

Take away space, disrupt rhythm, and force tough passes.
