SOS Pressure Defense

One of basketball’s all-time bestselling books, SOS Pressure Defense is a “How to” guide for coaching pressure defense in a logical and sequential progression. Each chapter is highlighted via easy to read text and diagrams. SOS Pressure Defense, which pioneered the importance of teaching and stressing the defensive side of the basketball coin, features more advanced pressure “D” tactics to be taught after basic fundamentals have been mastered. Beyond its broad application to all defensive systems, the major message of the book is P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E. What it can do, and how you can make it work for you, generate more offense off the defense, while shutting off opponent options, stifle opponents scoring in many ways: create turnovers, force bad & rushed shots, disrupt screens, take charge of game tempo and momentum! All of which can and do take place as a result of a great pressure defensive system, as confirmed by the success from high school to the professional levels.
