Paul Hewitt: The 3-2 "Point Zone Defense"

Spiegato molto bene, non é una 3-2 vera, ma lo diventa solo con il 5 che esce in punta. Clinic molto ben fatto

This is an interesting zone, and at times acts as a sort of rotating zone depending on how the point decides to play. As i watched i thought of it as almost a pack line zone, with the on ball defender up playing man to man, with the rest of the defense back adjusting to the offense.

The defense is conceptually fine, however the presentation lacks and especially gets bad with Coach Hewitt constantly interrupting the team trying to learn this defense. The start and stop gets annoying and drags down the presentation. His attempts at humor didn't work for me either.

There are no breakdown drills given which drops it a point. He does give a couple of different scenarios (ball screens, cutters, skip passes, etc.) which are OK as far as they go. I think if you're going to implement this at the HS level you'll have to put some work into figuring out special situations yourself (as well as some breakdown drills), as the DVD doesn't address every possibility.

As another reviewer mentioned there are better 3-2 zone DVDs out there.

I think that Paul Hewitt does an amazing job explaining "The 3-2 Point Zone Defense."

I installed it for our team. It not only became our bread and butter but I found that my players more often than not were in the right place at the right time and never out of position.

It takes work to teach anything. But what I found was the time that I put in to learning it, and teaching it, my players responded with the same heart and passion to learn. I had several players that became like coaches on the floor and would often help others get into position. I absolutely loved Paul Hewitt's skill set to break it down in such a way that made it easy for me to learn. As a coach I believe we have to love the teaching aspect and then things fall into place.

Didn't get much from this one. Players on the floor often seemed confused about their responsibilities as was I. I'm not a highly experienced coach so I could be mistaken but all I saw was players in a 2-3 zone alignment or a 1-3-1 alignment. If you are looking for info on the 3-2 zone I would recommend Tim Jankovich's DVD.
