Skip Prosser: Full Court Pressing Defense

Coach Prosser teaches the pressing defense that has been the hallmark of his team's success. This is a basic man press designed to keep the ball in front of the defense, force the opposition into making bad decisions, and create turnovers leading to what Coach Prosser calls "cheap points." Prosser does an excellent job of going over every aspect of the press including the trap rules, player positioning, ball denial, switching screens, and quick pickups off successful shots. Although this is a man press, tips are given to design the press to look like a zone, confusing the opposition into playing into your hands. In this video you will learn all about Coach Prosser's pressure defense and philosophy. This will allow your team to control the tempo of the game and play your style of basketball!
