Box-and-One Defense
Four players form a box zone defense while one player applies man-to-man pressure to the opposing team's primary scoring threat.
2-3 Zone Defense
A common zone strategy with two players guarding the top of the key and three players covering the baseline, designed to fortify the paint area against attacks.
Pack Line Defense
A type of man-to-man defense where off-ball defenders stay inside an imaginary line around the key to clog driving lanes and encourage outside shooting.
1-3-1 Zone Defense
One player takes the point, three form a line across the middle, and one guards the baseline, creating a defense that is versatile and good for trapping.
Man-to-Man Defense
Each defender is responsible for guarding a specific opponent, aiming to restrict scoring opportunities and force turnovers.
Zone Defense
Defenders cover specific areas of the court rather than guarding individual players, looking to disrupt passing lanes and force outside shots.
3-2 Zone Defense
This zone features three players near the free-throw line extended and two players in the low post, with the intent of better perimeter coverage.
Matchup Zone Defense
A hybrid defense blending zone and man principles, where defenders start in a zone formation and switch to man-to-man as opponents enter their zones.
Triangle-and-Two Defense
Three players form a triangle zone defense in the paint while two defenders apply man-to-man pressure on the opposing team's best shooters.
Press Defense
A high-intensity, full-court defensive style that aims to force the offensive team into turnovers and hurried shots through constant pressure.
