On average, the typical offensive possession in the men’s high school game is 35 seconds. Understanding this we use the scramble defense to shorten the length of each opponent’s possession, taking them out of their comfort zone. This defense is guided by man-to-man principles, specifically up the line on the line theories. “SCRAMBLE MEANS HUSTLE” 4 KEY TERMINOLOGY —TRAPPER— The person who is trapping or in the trap. —INTERCEPTOR— One of two players anticipating the pass out of a trap. High post becomes of great importance in the scramble defense, one of the interceptors must take away the high post. The second interceptor is responsible for taking away the reverse pass. —HOOP POSITION— The defender designated to guard the basket area, this person should be tough mentally and physically and understand the merits of taking the charge. 5 SCRAMBE DEFENSE “Thumbs Down” 1. Pressure the ball. 2. React with the ball. 3. Beat the ball to the pass receiver. 4. Trappers must seal ball with proper trapping position. 5. Interceptors need to anticipate pass and rotate. 6. All players must be ready to steal or defect pass especially out of trap. 7. Always trap downward passes. 8. Recover to man-to-man principles on ball reversal . 9. Trappers MUST rebound. Thumbs down is a conservative version of the scramble. You always trap down on the first pass and rotate back to man-to-man after on ball reversal. Very low risk is associated with the thumbs down 1/2 court trap because you are only trapping the first pass. We work on the idea that one of the weakest basketball skills today is passing. Passing is not a practiced fundamental. Thumbs down is an excellent half-court pressure defense that al- lows you to trap the opponent’s first pass immediately after they cross half-court. 6 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 3 on 3 • 1 passes the ball to 2 • X1 tries to best the ball to 2 • X1 and X2 Trap 7 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 3 on 3 • 2 tries to return pass to 1 • X3 rotates and steals pass • X3 breaks for a lay up 8 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 3 on 3 with 1 Man Rotation • 2 Passes the ball to 1 • X3 does not get steal, pressures 1. • X1, X2, X3 are back playing man to man. 9 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 4 on 4 with 2 Man Rotation • X1 Pressures the ball. • X1, X3, X4 pressure the wings and the low post. • On entry pass from 1 to 2, X1 and X2 trap 2. • X3 rotates, anticipating return pass . • X4 moves with pass. 10 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 4 on 4 with 2 Man Rotation • 2 Passes to 1 • X3 does not get steal • X1 runs out at trap • X4 rotates anticipating next pass. • 1 passes to 3 • X4 can go for steal or pressure 3. • X1 sees X4 moving to cover 3; sprints down to cover 4. • X2 moves with pass 11 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 4 on 4 with 2 Man Rotation • X1, X2, X3 and X4 are now back playing man to man. • X1 must work hard to front 4 in the post. 12 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 5 on 5 • X1 pressures the ball • X2, X3, X4, & X5 pres- sure the wings and the post. • X1 & X2 trap on pass from 1. • X3 rotates anticipating return pass. • X5 fronts low post. • X4 rotates up and cov- ers high post. 13 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 5 on 5 • 2 passes the ball to 1. • X3 does not get steal; pressures 1. • X1 runs out of the trap. • X4 rotates for return pass. • 5 dives back inside. • 1 passes to 3 • X4 can go for steal • X5 rotates over to cover • X1 sees X4 going out to 3 and X5 to 4. • X2 moves with pass. 14 THUMBS DOWN BREAKDOWN 5 on 5 • X5 must work to front the post. • X1 drops down to cover 5. • X2, X3, X4 are now back playing man to man. 15 THUMBS UP Thumbs Up Refers to trapping the dribbler. Rules as Follows; 1. Pressure the Ball 2. Surprise the dribbler, trap up 3. Anticipate and rotate 4. Seal the trap. (Hands High, Legs crossed, Mirror the Ball) 5. Steal, deflect or defend any pass out of the trap. 6. Run to where your help came from when leaving the trap. 7. Make a pass look open, then take it away. 8. Continue to trap on downward pass, not outward, or the pass is 15-20 feet away. 9. Trap the dribbler on all screens. 10. Know your job-trapper, interceptor, goal tender (coaches must identify these positions) 16 THUMBS UP When to Use Thumbs Up This element of the scramble defense is very aggressive. Rather than wait to let the offensive initiate their sets, use the thumbs up to trap the dribbler as soon as the ball crosses half court or is dribbled to a wing. Here are four situations that are especially effective in thumbs up: • To get the ball out of the hands of an excellent point guard. • To attack the point guard. • To create chaos when the offense is using a dribble entry into their offense. • To keep a great players from catching the first pass. 17 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 3 on 3 • X1 pressures the ball handler to the sideline. • X2 & X3 are “up the line” off their man. • X2 leaves as the ball crosses mid-court. • X1 and X2 trap 1 • X3 rotates up, anticipat- ing a pass from 2. 18 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 3 on 3 • X3 does not get the steal, so he pressures. • X1 runs out of trap. • X1 and X3 trap 2 • X2 drops off 1 to be in help position. 19 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 4 on 4 • X1 pressures the ball handler to the sideline. • X2, X3, X4 are “up the line” off their man. • X2 leaves 2 as the ball crosses mid-court. • X1 & X2 trap 1. • X4 rotates up. • X3 rotates to the middle as trap occurs away. 20 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 4 on 4 • If X4 does not get the steal, pressures 2. • X1 runs out of trap. • X1 and X4 trap 2 • X3 rotates to cover 4 • X2 drops off 1 to be help 21 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 5 on 5 • X1 pressures the ball han- dler to sideline. • X2, X3, X4 and X5 are “up the line” off their man. • X2 leaves 2 as the ball crosses mid court. • X1 & X2 trap 1 • X4 rotates up • X5 rotates to cover 4 • X3 rotates to the middle as trap occurs away. 22 THUMBS UP BREAKDOWN 5 on 5 • If X4 does not get steal, pressures 2. • X1 runs out of the trap fol- lowing downward pass. • X1 & X4 trap 2 • X5 fronts low post • X3 plays the high post area 23 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Bulldog Drill 1 on 1 Bulldog Drill • 1 takes ball out and dribbles to sideline. • X1 guards 1. Staying down in the defensive stance. • 1 zig zags all the way down the court. Bulldog Drill (take charge) • Same as above to begin. • X1 should beat 1 to spot just before half court. • X1 establishes position and takes charge from 1. 24 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Herding Drill (3 dribble trap) • 1 starts with ball in the mid- dle of the court. • X1 & X2 at the elbows in de- fensive stance. • 1 takes three explosive drib- bles to the right. • X2 beats 1 to spot, cutting off sideline. • X1 herds 1 from the back • 1 picks up the dribble. • X1 & X2 trap 1 25 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Herding Drill (zig zag dribble trap) • 1 starts with ball in middle of court. • X1 & X2 at elbows • 1 takes off dribbling • X2 beats 1 to spot, cutting off sideline. • X1 herds 1 from back. • 1 makes a move • X1 beat 1 to spot • X2 herds from the back. 26 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Herding Drill (zig zag dribble trap, chase) • 1 starts with the ball in the middle of court. • X1 & X2 are at the elbows. • 1 takes 3 hard dribbles • X2 beats 1 to spot, cutting off sideline. • X1 herds from back. 27 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Herding Drill (zig zag dribble trap, chase) • 1 makes a move. • X1 beats 1 to spot. • X2 herds from back • 1 picks up dribble • X1 & X2 trap with high hands and legs crossed. • 1 passes out of the trap to a coach. • X1 & X2 sprint out of trap and chase coach from behind, trying to prevent a layup. 28 SCRAMBLE BREAKDOWN DRILLS Help Deflect Recover Drill • 1 starts with ball near half court. • X1 pressures 1 • 2 is on wing looking for entry pass. • X2 denies the easy entry pass from 1 to 2. • If X1 gets beat off dribble, X2 opens up to help.

  • Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: an Analytics Analysis
    1 Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis An Honors Thesis by Jeremy Mertz Thesis Advisor Dr. Lawrence Judge Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 1-' ,II L II/du, t,- i II/em' /.. 2 ?t; q ·7t./ 2 (11 S Ranking the Greatest NBA Players: An Analytics Analysis . Iv/If 7 Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to present a statistical model to help rank top National Basketball Association (NBA) players of all time. As the sport of basketball evolves, the debate on who is the greatest player of all-time in the NBA never seems to reach consensus. This ongoing debate can sometimes become emotional and personal, leading to arguments and in extreme cases resulting in violence and subsequent arrest. Creating a statistical model to rank players may also help coaches determine important variables for player development and aid in future approaches to the game via key data-driven performance indicators. However, computing this type of model is extremely difficult due to the many individual player statistics and achievements to consider, as well as the impact of changes to the game over time on individual player performance analysis. This study used linear regression to create an accurate model for the top 150 player rankings. The variables computed included: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, win shares per 48 minutes, and number ofNBA championships won. The results revealed that points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and NBA championships were all necessary for an accurate model and win shares per 48 minutes were not significant.

  • Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association
    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

  • Partner Passing – Passing Drill
    Partner Passing – Passing Drill Overview: Partner passing teaches the absolute basics of passing and allows your players to practice different types of passes and the correct technique. A great drill for kids beginning to learn the game of basketball. Setup: Players get into pairs and should have one basketball between them. Once the players are in pairs, they must stand on a line parallel from their partner. How it Works: The coach will explain which type of pass they want performed and then the players will pass back and fourth to each other. Every minute or so the coach can change the type of pass the players are performing or increase the distance they are apart if it’s too easy. Coaching Points: Make sure you mix up which type of pass you want them to perform (bounce pass, chest pass, one-handed push-pass, ect). Don’t allow players to be silly and throw the basketball too hard at their partner. It will end up with blood noses. Make sure all coaches are teaching the same passing technique so the kids don’t get confused. Stationary Keepings Off – Passing Drill Overview: This main goal of this drill is to teach the basics of spacing between players and also to teach decision making on the catch. When players are young we all know they constantly sprint towards the basketball. By keeping them stationary in this drill, we show them that it’s easier to keep the ball away from the defense if we’re spread apart. Setup: Select one or two players to be the defenders and get the rest of your players to spread out in a small area like the three-point line.

  • Basketball Statistics Manual
    Basketball Statistics Manual FIBA Europe Statistics Manual Field Goals A field goal attempt (FGA) is charged to a player any time they shoot, throw or tap a live ball at their opponent’s basket in an attempt to score a goal unless the player is fouled in the act of shooting and the goal is missed or not counted. When a violation or foul is committed by the shooter or a player from either team, after the ball has been released for a shot, a FGA is credited because the shot would count if successful. A field goal attempt (FGA) is not charged to the shooter if the shot is nullified because of illegal interference with the ball (goal tending) by an offensive player. In this case the offensive player who commits the violation is charged with a turnover and a team rebound charged to the defensive team. A field goal made (FGM) is credited to a player any time a FGA by them results in a goal being scored or being awarded because of illegal interference with the ball (goal tending) by a defensive player. When a player is fouled in the act of shooting and the shot results in a FGM, then a FGA must also be credited. A FGA is not charged if the player shooting the ball, a teammate or a defensive player commits a violation or foul just prior to the ball being released. The official will call the violation or foul and signal that the score or play following the call is canceled. This indicates that the ball was not released for the shot prior to the infringement so no FGA is awarded.
