What it is
- 2-3 Zone: Trapping Out of Corners is a defensive strategy that a common adjustment to 2-3 zone is trapping.
- When the ball reaches the corner, both the baseline player and the top guard on that side collapse on the ball handler, creating a double team.
- The intent is to force a turnover or a bad pass.
Why it matters
- If executed properly, trapping creates openings elsewhere because two defenders have left their assigned areas.
How it works
- When the ball reaches the corner, both the baseline player and the top guard on that side collapse on the ball handler, creating a double team.
- The intent is to force a turnover or a bad pass.
- If the ball handler escapes the trap with a pass, the remaining defenders must rotate to cover the receiving player.
- If the rotation is slow, the offense finds an open player.
- Trapping is effective against hesitant or young ball handlers but can backfire against experienced teams that move the ball quickly.
