When defending a shooter is the straight lean more effective or the jump when they are shooting? Yes it may depend but any advice please?
i prefer to do a lean, but when done correctly a jump action at just the right moment ie just as they are about to release the ball is very effective too. it all depends if you can keep your 3ft after you complete the jump, or do you need to reset you distance before jumping again if they fake the shot. thats why i prefer the lean and block technique. but it is whatever puts off the shooter the most, which will change from shooter to shooter.
in more ways than one
Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
