Zone defenses are used at all levels of basketball to help stop opposing offenses. However, few teams use zones on a consistent basis because coaches don't know how to defend a handful of key situations using a zone defense.

In this video, 2006 NCAA Championship coach Brenda Frese shows you all the tactics you need to run the 1-2-2 defense. Coach Frese details how to install the 1-2-2 zone, the coverages within the zone, defending seven situations within the zone defense, as well as how to defend against three offense sets within the 1-2-2.

Installation and Coverages

Frese takes you step-by-step through what all five players' responsibilities are within the 1-2-2 match-up zone. You will see how:

The 1-guard or "boss man" dictates the top of the zone defense
To protect the paint and force jump shots
To create defensive triangles
To defend when players get beat and are out of position

Defending Multiple Fronts

Coach Frese shows how to defend a 2-1-2 front, 1-4 high set, and 4-out 1-in set using her match-up zone defense. Demonstrations include:

The 7-on-5 drill to help teach defensive rotations
How to front the post when the ball is in the corner, while still preventing the lob over the top
How to prevent two players from guarding the same person
How to get your players to move on the pass instead of the catch

Defending Special Situations

Through the use of game film and on-court demonstration, you will see seven special situations that arise when using the 1-2-2 match-up zone. Frese teaches you how to stop a star player from receiving the ball in the match-up zone, as well as how to guard against high post flashes within the zone.

Additionally, Frese explains how to guard against dribble penetration, how to stop cutting action to the weak and strong sides of the court, how to defend against ball and middle screens, how to defend against skip passes, and how to trap the corners from your 1-2-2 alignment.

Coach Frese shows how effective the use of a 1-2-2 zone can be whether it be defending inbound situations, defending the high post or trapping in corners. Frese walks you through how to install, implement and win with a smothering 1-2-2 match-up zone!
