Zone vs. man to man defense

Hello Basketball enthusiasts!!  We spent the last week discussing and using defense in game situations.  For this weeks blog you will have 3 tasks to complete to recieve full credit for PE.

1.  Based on what you know about zone and man to man defensive prinicples, what type of defense is the team in white using?  Explain why you decided which defense is being used.  Note: The ball is in the hands of one of the purple team members at the top of the key.


2.  Click on the Syracuse defense link at the bottom of the page and review the content.  After reviewing the link post your own video and explanation of what defensive strategy is being empoyed.  Include the following in your text:  1.  Is the defense effective?  2.  What makes the defense effective or not?  3.  Would you use this defense if you were a coach?  Why or why not?  Explain in 1 paragraph (minimum 6 sentences) what type of defense you will run based on the players you have.
