How to Break the Run & Jump Press

- The Run & Jump press is what helped West Virginia make it to the Final 4 in 2018. One of the things that makes this press so effective is the "randomness" of the traps. Teams who do this regularly are great at keeping the offense off balance throughout the game.
In this video, I breakdown the "common rules" that every Run & Jump follows, and breakdown the "tells" that tip their hand before they trap. Understanding these defensive principles will help you devise a plan to break this press consistently.
Teams often get so concerned about getting a 10 second violation that they get sped up, and make bad decisions and passes. The vast majority of turnovers that happen against this press are NOT 10 second violations. They stem from bad passes, bad spacing, not coming to the ball when it's passed, and not anticipating the initial trap and rotation.

Couldn’t you argue that jumping to pass is fine as long as you have a plan as to who you’re passing to? Jumping to pass in order to get the ball over a trapper is a lot different than blindly jumping and making a decision mid jump (although Luka is really good at this and can jump while manipulating the tag defender with his eyes).
I do think there’s a time and a place for a jump pass. Like the situation you just described. Good pressing teams recover so well, and sometimes bait people to throw certain passes, so you have to be absolutely sure before you jump.
Verry good thx
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful
What coaches are the best to learn from if you want to run the run and jump yourself?
Thanks for the comment, Bryan. Obviously, watching videos on West Virginia is always a good option. I think A. W. Hamilton at Eastern Kentucky is a great one - and after that, I would go to championshipproductions.com and look at their resources. They have the best catalog of coaching instruction that’s out there. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
Hands down it's Eddie Andrist and Forrest Larson. Long time Run and Jump coaches. Both have videos out. I've seen every RJ video for sale out there are no Championship video touches those two.
