We will start our 5 0n 5 play this week. There will be 10 people on the court at a time and only 1 ball. This means the majority of the time you will be without the ball or find yourself defending someone who does not have the ball. It is important to have a some strategies in mind for what you are going to do when you find yourself in this position, both offensively and defensively.
For this weeks blog, I want you to think about what you are going to do when you do not have the ball. Give me one offensive strategy you can use when you do not have the ball to help your team score, and one defensive strategy you can use to help your team prevent another team from scoring on you. We will discuss this in class but if you are confused let me know.
When i don't have the ball, i intend to drive down the court get open so my teammates can pass, preferably to a spot that's good for shooting. In terms of defense, the best thing i can do is stay vigilant, watch the ball, and try to tip it back to one of my own teammates when the opposing team misses the shot.

One offensive strategy that can be used is setting picks for teammates, this will either allow them to get open and receive a pass or allow them to have room to drive and take a shot.
ReplyDeleteOne defensive strategy we can use is to play a 2-3 zone. We can also double team the other team's players.
-Alex Pollack
On offense, I will set picks and make cuts to the hoop. On defense, I will not let anyone have a clean path to the basket and I will contest every shot?

On offense when you don't have the ball it is essential to move around and get open so that your teammate with the ball has the opportunity to pass the ball to you if necessary.
ReplyDeleteOn defense it is always helpful to your team if you stay with the man you are defending and try to prevent them from getting the ball.
Trevor Kern
One offensive strategy is that you can cut away from the man guarding you so you can get the ball and score
ReplyDeleteOne defensive strategy is to stick to a man and follow him around to prevent the team from passing it
Nathan Culotta
Offensive - set a pick
ReplyDeleteDefensive - step into the passing lane when the man with the ball looks like hes going to pass
Ryan
Offensive:
ReplyDeleteTry to force the players on the other team to use their weak hand..
defensive:
have a good "ready" stance.. keep knees bent and feet about shoulder-width apart from each other and one foot a bit ahead of the other..
-Jon Glaser
On offense, I can set picks to get other people open. On defense, I can play tight on whoever I'm guarding to prevent them from taking open shots.

When we are on offense I will try to devise an offensive scheme that involves a lot of passes and fast breaks. On defense I will make sure my team hustles to the ball and plays good strong defense. We will do a 2-3 zone with elaborate coverages. -Jake Ledner
ReplyDeleteOffensive strategy - keep moving to get open
ReplyDeleteDefensive strategy - stay between the basket and the player
Oops, forgot to put my name above...Chris D'Arpa
DeleteDefensive Strategy- 2-3 zone which makes it difficult for opponents to score layups and shots in the key
ReplyDeleteOffensive strategy- cutting to the basket. Helps the ball mmove around quicker and creates better oppurtunities for easier shots
-Constantine Magginas
block people on the other team from getting to your teammate
ReplyDeleteblock the person with the ball from scoring on you
-matthew blaisdell
When you do not have the ball but your team does you could get to open space for the pass. When the other team had the ball you can play zone defense, each person on the team protects a certain part of the court.
ReplyDelete-Harrison Linowes
Offensive strategy- to run around and find open space for your teamates to pass to you
ReplyDeleteDefensive strategy- cover somebody so they cant get the ball and score
-Mattin Gharagozloo
On Offense, I Could Get More Involved And Get Open, On Defense I Can Stick Tightly To Whoever Im Gaurding
ReplyDelete-Upneet Atwal
offensively, you can cut and move around or set a pick. defensively, be in between your man and the basket so they do not have a back door cut for an easy lay-up.
ReplyDeleteErik Gunnarsson
When i don't have the ball i will get open so my teammates can pass. This will allow us to score easy points. Defensively i can black passes and rebound balls before the other team can recover them.
ReplyDelete-Abhishek Tennarangam
Offense- set a pick
ReplyDeleteDefense- guard player on other team by following them around tightly
Max Levine
Offensive - Cut away from other players.
ReplyDeleteDefensive - Stay man-to-man on defensive and box out for rebounds.
For offensive strategy get to open space on the court, especially closer to the basket so it will be easier for you to make your shots and set picks to help your teammates
ReplyDeleteFor defensive strategy you must always be guarding your person unless you are playing zones on the court
-Preetam Ganti
without the ball, i will attempt to get open by moving around and try to create space for teammates. on defense, keep your hands up and watch the ball
ReplyDeleteAlder
when i don't have the ball but my team does i move into open space and get ready for the pass. When the other team has the ball you can play man to man defense, thats when each person guards another player on the team.

ReplyDeleteWhen you don't have the ball, you should be running to open space and get ready for the pass or set up a pick.
When you have the ball, you should dribble toward opponents basket or pass the ball. Best is shoot the ball and make it
Offenaive- move to open space or cut to the basket
ReplyDeleteDefensive- stay between the persom you are guarding and the basket
Evan Treworgy
on offense i would place pics on the opposing team so the player with the ball has some driving space and dribbling space.
ReplyDeleteon defense i would prefer a 3-2 zone becuase most player like to take 3 pointers
-Jay Shah
I thought i did this one already. But when i dont have the ball i intend to move around a lot to create space for my teammates to drive. and when im on defense, my team will play man to man and stay between the player and the basket
ReplyDeleteAlder
On offense, i will get open so my teammates can pass and to give some room for them to go down to court in case they get the ball.
ReplyDeleteOn defense, I can stay near the hoop, as even though many people like to shoot 3 pointers, when they get close i can catch the rebound and pass to my teammates
My strategy would be to stand closer to the net and get the ball to our team.
ReplyDeleteOn offense, get open so teammates can pass.
ReplyDeleteOn defense, stay near the hoop so i can catch the rebound and pass to my teammates
