The Pack Line Defense has proven to be one of the most successful defensive systems in the game of basketball. The originator of this defense is Dick Bennett. Throughout his years of coaching, Bennett has always been known for having some of the top defensive teams in the country. As the game evolved, Coach Bennett put together a system that would allow a less athletic team to consistently compete with any team in the country. He used his patented defense to rebuild programs and control superior offensive teams.

In this playbook, Bennett shows you how to implement the Pack Line Defense, a man defense to contain dribble penetration and contest open threes, which will help keep your team in the game.
