Emir Mutapcic was a player andthen assistant coach for Alba Berlin (Germany) from 1998 to 2000.
He then became head coach of the club, winning three straight German First Division League titles
and the German Cup championships in 2002 and 2003.
A coach can say his team played sound defense when his players made: a) good defensive transitions; b)
strong baseline screen defense throughout the game; and c) were effective against the pickand- rolls.
Remember: Good defense can only work when the defenders are always in a defensive stance!
TRANSITION DEFENSE
We want to get set with our defense as early as possible. Once the opponent has ball possesion, all five
players have to sprint back at full speed to gain their defensive positions, seeing the ball at all times. The
forward ball movement must be stopped as soon as possible. Penetration of the ball by a pass or dribbling
must be eliminated.
PRESSURE ON THE BALL
The player with the ball must be pressured at all times so he:
▼ Cannot shoot
▼ Cannot easily pass the ball inside
▼ Cannot penetrate in the middle
By doing this, we create a ballside and a helpside. We do not want the ball to be in the middle of the court.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Against good fastbreak teams (for example, the Italian team of Benetton Treviso in Euroleague), we run back on defense
in three seconds. On the other hand, when we play in Euroleague against the Turkish team of Efes Pilsen, we apply a full-
court press, because this team runs a very good set offense.
DENY
Players who defend against an offensive player who is one pass away from the ball must adopt a closed
denial stance, putting them in line between the ball and their offensive player. We want to close all passing
lanes and keep the ball above the free-throw line extension as long as possible. Don’t allow an easy pass
to the corner! Deny the pass more than just one time. The defense must force the ball to the outside.

HELPSIDE
Players on the helpside sag to the middle of the lane and set up in a flat triangle with their offensive
players and the ball. They fill up the positions towards the baseline and sag to the level of the ball. They
patrol the lane and are ready to intercept (lob) passes, block shots, get rebounds, take charging fouls, and
help and rotate early, if this becomes necessary.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
If there is now a low post player on the ballside, and therefore there is no defender either, the helpside defender closest to
the baseline must sag all the way to the edge of the lane on the ballside to fill up this position. He must help and recover if
the offensive forward on the ballside penetrates to the baseline.

The next defenders from the helpside rotate accordingly, in order to create a compact defense. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:open_popup('[Only Registered Users Can See Links]','a_5__2_2',740,569);)[Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:void(0))

The ballside defenders make our defense more aggressive, but it’s the helpside defenders who make it successful. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:open_popup('[Only Registered Users Can See Links]','a_6__2_2',740,569);)[Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:void(0))

As long as we
are able to keep the ball on the same side of the court, we are in position to have five defensive players
defend against three or, at the most, four offensive players. If we allow the offense to swing the ball
quickly from side to side, the defensive players must constantly change position from deny to helpside and
back, which is very difficult. Passes from the wing and back to the guard position have to be denied.
FRONT THE LOW POST
If the ball is above the free-throw line extended, the center must be guarded like an outside player, i.e. according to his
position, either on the ballside or on the helpside. We deny the pass to him or his defender must sag to the middle.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Since high post players are practically always one pass away from the ball, they have to be denied the ball. With the ball
below the free-throw line extended, all low post players must be totally fronted, with the face of the defender towards the
ball.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
A low post player is any offensive player at the side of the lane, on the ballside, below the dotted line. We have two
reasons for doing this: First, we deny any pass to the center, with the exception of a lob pass and, second, our defensive
center is in excellent position to help on any penetration towards the baseline.
EARLY HELP
With early help, our man-to-man defense becomes a real team defense. On a penetration from outside the
threepoint line, the gap between the defender on the ball and the next offensive player must be closed by
the defender of the next man. He should help only until he realizes that the player with the ball is just
about to slow down, then recover inside- out to his own man. Good anticipation is essential. It is much
easier to help and recover if the defender in a deny position is already away one-third of the way to the
ball and ready to help, so that after making a short move to help, he can make his move back to his man
and recover.

If there is a low post on the ballside, this defender will be the first helper. The next defender behind him must rotate quickly
and, if possible, get in front of the low post (second help). In turn, the next defender on the weakside has to rotate for him.

The earlier you help, the better you can stop the offense. You can never help too early!
EVERYBODY SAG
If the offense succeeds in penetrating our defense (by a pass to the center or by dribble penetration), all
defenders must sag to the level of the ball and virtually squeeze the ball back out to the perimeter, thus
forcing the offense to start over.
