We are a zone rebounding team. On the majority of our shots, we should have a 4-around-1 alignment. Our general goal is to form a "5" on a dice and hunt the ball from there. We want to overload the weakside with an extra rebounder. The responsibilities of each player will be dependent upon their position on the floor and can vary depending on where the shot is taken from.
PERIMETER SHOTS
On a perimeter shot, the responsibilities are as follows..
- Dunker Spot = Rotate to the top of the circle
- Weakside Corner = Crash from the weakside
- Strongside Corner = Sprint through the nail
- Trail = Get Back
- Shooter = Get Back
On an interior shot, the responsibilities are as follows..
We finish every 5v0 rep with zone rebounding position- Dunker Spot = Get the ball by any means neccesary
- Weakside Corner = Crash from the weakside
- Strongside Corner = Get Back
- Trail = Get Back
- Shooter = Follow Shot

TRANSITION DEFENSE
When the opponent secures the ball after a miss...
We do not worry about matchup's until we are whole. We are essentially in a zone until we get whole. This could result in a two man zone or a three man zone.
"TANDEM" TWO MAN ZONE
In the two man zone, the top of the "tandem" has to influence the ball to a side. If the ballhandler attacks, the bottom player in the tandem is there to help. If the ballhandler passes, the bottom player takes the first pass and the top player sinks to the rim.
"TRIANGLE" THREE MAN ZONE
In the triangle zone, the top of the "triangle" influences the ball to a side. This allows the other two players to load to the ball. The strong side player can than play in a gap and the weakside defender can protect the rim.
FILLING IN THE WEAKSIDE
The remaining players fill to the weakside. The lowest man needs to be the loudest man and direct their teammates to a matchup. Bigger players always kick the smaller players out. Assuming the low man position.
