For 20 years, he was head coach of the Angolan national team and won three African
Championships, one Pan African Games, and one Military Championship. Cunha, the former
President of African Coaches Committee, participated with Angola in three World Championships
and one Olympic Games (Barcelona, 1992). Cunha is presently the FIBA instructor for Africa and
the National Technical Director of the Angolan Federation.
PHILOSOPHY
Zone defense challenges the offense to shoot well from the outside. The main goals of the zone defenses
are: Put pressure on the ball in all areas of the half court, with the primary purpose being to prevent high-
percentage shots, and offer help when one offensive player penetrates with or without the ball (dribbling
penetration, cuts from the weakside of the ball, pass to the centers). Prevent the penetration of the ball
(by pass, dribble, or cut), forcing the offense to move the ball around the perimeter, farther away from the
basket. The defenders never move before the pass is made and the defender nearest to the ball should
“defend” on the next pass.
2. WHEN WE SHOULD PLAY ZONE DEFENSE
When we want: To catch the offense unprepared because we switch the defense. To protect the area
near the basket. To hide one (or more) weak defensive player. To protect one or more players, who are
in foul trouble. To force the offense in the last two minutes of the game, when we are ahead by 8 to 10
points, to make extra passes before shooting. To organize our fastbreak in a very efficient way .
3. DISADVANTAGES
Does not encourage the improvement of individual defensive skills. Leaves the team vulnerable against
good outside shooters. It is problematic against quick ball rotation, combined with splits and cuts in the
gaps of the zone.
4. MAIN PRINCIPLES
It is easy to teach zone defense, but it is very difficult to do so efficiently. The zone defense has many
weak points. The defensive players must recover quickly. All defensive players must know exactly their
position on the court and what are theirresponsibilities. Each defender must know the position of the ball.
The defenders must go to certain rebound areas.
5. STUDIES ON REBOUND AREAS
Based on research, diagr. 1 shows the ten probable rebound areas that open when a medium distance
shot is taken and missed.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
These are the percentage of possibilities that the ball rebounds in certain areas,
independently of where the player shoots from:
- Area n. 3: 40%
- Area n. 4: 35 %
- Area n. 10: 15%
- The final 10% of the rebounds are divided in the other areas:
Missed shots from area n.1: 55% of the rebounds will land in area n.4.
Missed shots from area n.2: 60% of the rebounds will land in area n.3.
Missed shots from area n.5: 66% of the rebounds will land in area n.4.
Missed shots from area n.6: 56% of the rebounds will land in area n.3.
Missed shots from area n.7: 54% of the rebounds will land in area n.4.
Missed shots from area n. 8: 52% of the rebounds will land in area n.3.
TWO - THREE ZONE DEFENSE
In order to teach the two-three zone defense we split the half court in two fundamental areas:
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
1. Above the free-throw line (defenders X1 and X2).
2. Below the free-throw line (defenders X3, X4 and X5).
BALL ABOVE THE FREE THROW LINE
Defensive slides of X1 and X2 In diagr. 3, the slides of the first line defenders are shown. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
In diagr. 4, you can see the position of defender X1 on the ball and the other one, X2, who helps out.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
In diagr. 5, X1 goes towards the dribbler, puts pressure, and then slides when the ball is passed to the other guard. X2
helps and waits for the pass to the helpside. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Another option: X1 and X2 can also wait for the lateral pass and then slide. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
X1 and X2 are in a tandem position, with X1 pressuring 1 with the ball and X2 is behind X1, ready to go out to guard the
ball after it is passed by 1. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Dribbling penetration
If 1 dribbles into the gap of the front line of X1 and X2 and then passes the ball to 3, X3 comes out of the
lane and puts pressure on 3. X1 goes to the free-throw line corner, X5 overplays 5, the strong side low
post, and X2 goes in the helpside position inside the three-second lane. X4 goes under the basket on the
help side position. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
BALL BELOW THE FREE THROW LINE
Ball to the Wing
If the ball is passed from above the freethrow line to the wing player below the freethrow line, in this case
from 1 to 3 (as we can see in diagr. 9, 10, and 11), note the defensive slides of X1, X2 and X3.

line. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
In diagr. 13, notice the slides of the same defenders when the ball is instead passed
to the wing on the weak side. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Ball to the Wing and Cut from the Weak Side (Three Defenders Slides)
If 2 cuts from the wing position to the opposite corner, X5 goes out of the lane to pressure the ball when 2
receives the ball from 3. X4 overplays the low post on the ball side and X3 double teams 2, if 3 is not a
good shooter. If 3 is a good shooter, X3 does not double team and instead overplays 3 in an open stance. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Ball to the Wing and Cut from the Weak Side (All Five Defenders Slide)
In diagr. 15, 16, and 17 I have illustrated the movements of each of the five defenders when the ball is on
the wing and there is a cut of the guard 2 to the opposite corner on the side of the low post 5, to overload
one side of the floor. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
When the pass is made from 1 to 3, [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
X3 pressures 3, giving X1 the time to slide to guard 3. X3 then goes low to guard 2, who is going in the corner, cutting
from the weak side. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Ball in the Low Post
If 2 is not a good shooter, X3 can help on 5 - the same rule is applied to X1. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Ball in the High Post
If 5 receives the ball, X5 must pressure him. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Flash Cut to the Ball
If 4 makes a flash cut to the ball from the weak side, it is possible to make two different defensive
adjustments:
A. X4 overplays 4’s cut, while X2 is responsible for covering 2 on the weak side. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])[Only Registered Users Can See Links] ([Only Registered Users Can See Links])
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
B. X2 overplays 4’s cut, while X4 is responsible for covering 2 on the weak side position.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
Pass to the High Post and then to the
Opposite Wing
If 3 passes to the high post 4 and 4 passes to the opposite wing 2, changing the side
to the ball, we can slide in two specific ways, as shown in diagr. 22 and 23.

[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
HOW TO TEACH THE ZONE DEFENSE
A. Progression of Teaching ball movements around the zone. Ball movements and cuts to the basket. Ball movements
with passes to the low and high post. Movements with six and seven players on offense. Five on five.
B. Special Drill six players involved on offense: five static players and one player, who cuts along the baseline, from one
corner to the other.
