A few weeks ago I did an episode on high basketball IQ strategies on offense, when you are down at the end of the game. Today I am going to share how you can change your defensive play to give your team a better chance at getting stops and winning the game.

You’re down at the end of the game and need the ball back to score and catch up. Now we aren’t talking about desperation, have to foul time. We are talking, not many possessions left and you need to make something happen on defense. As I mention, everytime we are talking strategy, a high IQ player always listens to what your coach instructs you to do. You first job is to execute their strategy. But you should also have situational awareness to avoid the mistakes made by so many average players.

Welcome back to Hard Smart Together! I’m Coach Dave, I’m here every week to help basketball players become the smart, confident players that coaches love.

Hope you enjoy!
