Defense – 2-3 Zone – Half-Court Trap

Defense – 2-3 Zone – Half-Court Trap

Keys to success: The goal is to surprise the offensive team and force them to make decisions faster than they want to. Only run this defense occasionally to maximize the surprise factor. The trapping defenders must contain the dribble and keep the ball in front of them; trust that the rest of the team will do their part.
