Your team must have an offense(s) for countering a defensive full-court, 3/4-court, or half-court press.

Without a plan, your team will become confused, frustrated, will panic, turn the ball over, and allow the opponent easy transition lay-ups.

On the other hand, if your players stay calm and have confidence in your plan of attack, you can burn the press and get easy lay-ups of your own.


We actually like it when teams press us, and look at it as an opportunity to get a 2-on-1 situation and a lay-up (or free-throws).


But you must have a plan and practice it... be prepared.
