  • We hear so much about how the three-point shot and offensive spacing has changed the game of basketball. While that's certainly true, there is also a defensive tactic that's had a similar impact: Switching.
    In this video, we take a deep dive into how and why defenses are now switching so many screens. Some of the main teams included: The Warriors, the Rockets, Villanova, Texas Tech, Baylor, LSU, and the 2004 Pistons and Lakers.

    To me the big turning point around 2013. This was still two years BEFORE the Warriors took over the league, but you could see the change happening. The Warriors crushed the Nuggets in the playoffs in the first round, and Steph kept abusing players going under the screens by pulling up for three. It kind of broke my brain. I kept seeing it and thinking "but... that's a bad shot, right???" But it wasn't. The game had changed.
    In turn, that level of shooting and spacing changed how teams covered ball screens, which led to everything you've shown here.

      Actually its the Suns of 2005 first then but can't defend the the post well and then its the Heat of 2012 who enhanced it that really changed the game because they can defend as well the post players because of switching and fronting bigger post players while having a stretch 5 in Chris Bosh. We saw that when Bosh got injured in the playoffs and they fully utilized it in the finals against the Thunder. Then the Warriors used that same concept in 2015 with a stretch 5 and also because how quick he is to defend perimeter players (like Bosh who is good but Draymond is elite) and then Rockets of 2018 enhanced it again by switching every screen because the Warriors were so potent in the perimeter.

    I love watching old videos of the midrange wizardry from the 90s and early 2000s. I think the fact that some players were good enough to be able to turn and fade, deliberately taking off balance shots to score was amazing. I wanted to model my game after a Kobe or Demar type player, but it’s a hard pill to swallow when you learn that only the best of the best can make midrange shots worth it, and matching the efficiency with a 3 is much more advantageous.

    Great content, I've seen every single video on your channel, keep the good work up. Only one thing, I don't understand why is nobody talking about rebounding after switches? While the triple switch allows the three-pointers (sometimes) but it takes away the opportunity for the big to just outpower the guards for the boards, and simple switches can lead to iso ball and all that, but if there is a big with a guard on him under the basket, that can lead to a lot of second-chance points skewing the efficiency data on those isolations, they might be producing points indirectly. Just a something to think about, other than that, I absolutely love your channel

    Great video- instant sub. 20 years ago i would shove guards over/through the screener as a center- the idea of switching wasnt even a thing. Which was weird because more often than not the point couldnt hit 20% from 3, even if he wanted to shoot- which they didnt unless they cut or got to the elbow. Amazing how offense and defense evolved in a short time.

    Ran a defense in hs called point, which was a man-zone mashup where switching occurred all the time. It resembled a 1-3-1 zone, but the positions swapped depending on the ball. Took a lot of talking, but I can kind of see it in the way LSU's defense is set up, though I'm sure it is helped by a lot of the 5-man-out offenses.

    @thecellulontriptometer4166 Před 2 lety +18

    Good analysis. From a coaches perspective(at the college and pro level), teaching, practicing then drilling into muscle memory switching defense takes time. Generally(IMHO) far more time is dedicated to offense because of the timing needed to be successful. The sense in the past has been that to play standard defense is more about individual positioning and effort than team timing. I think that the challenge for many coaches is that focusing enough time to make this type of team switching defense work, takes away from the time spent on creating offensive synergy. That said, with the explosion of 3 point shooting, less timing for plays is needed offensively, and more time can then come back to focusing on defensive schemes. In other words, I think the two are connected from a coaching perspective.

    Well done sir, I'm still watching coaches having players face guard opponents AWAY(in high-school) from ball let alone switch or help side...your man D should look like a zone and your zone a man, with folks like you putting out Great content its bound to have a positive effect on those well intentioned individuals who give their time but simply don't have the necessary knowledge, and just as importantly this great sport..well done
