How it works
- Free Throw Alignment: The defense must know exactly which defender is guarding which offensive rebounder.
- This is typically called out by position or name: "You got 5!" (defender assigned to the 5 player) or "Guard the strong side rebounder!" Timeout Adjustments: During timeouts, the defensive coach discusses the next possession's defensive look.
- The players returning from the bench must immediately know if it is man-to-man or zone, and if it is man, who is guarding whom.
- Inbound Defense: The team communicates who is denying the inbound, how tight the press is, and what areas are being trapped.
- "Deny first pass!", "Pick up full court!", "Trap in the corner!"
