Villanova head coach Jay Wright is one of the nation's top basketball coaches. In this playbook, you'll see why he's also considered one of the best teachers of the game as well. Coach Wright shares his three-quarter court, 1-2-2 defensive pressure scheme. This is the same scheme that aided in the Wildcats' run to the 2016 NCAA Championship.

Coach Wright shares four base strategies you can use to defend out of a three-quarter court 1-2-2 defense. He covers additional plays and strategies and shows you how to convert back into a 1-3-1 or 2-3 zone defense. You will also see how to effectively guard ball screens when defending zone offense.
