PRINCIPLES OF THE MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE
Pino Sacripanti’s Cantù youth teams won three Italian titles. He was an assistant coach of the
Italian National Junior Team before becoming head coach of Cantù, the Italian Serie A team.
Sacripanti was named Coach of the Year in 2002.
It’s very important to underline some key points to eliminate all the easy shots of our opponents, to reduce
their shooting and rebounding percentage, and increase their turnovers.
KEY POINTS
1. Start from an efficient offense.
2. Complete the fastbreak.
3. One-on-one on the ball.
4. One-on-one away from the ball.
5. Defensive principles on different kind of screens.
THE TEAM DEFENSE STARTS FROM AN EFFICIENT OFFENSE
▼ The primary aim of an efficient offense is to get good shots.
▼ During the development of the fastbreak, in all overload situations, the last player of the offense stops
at the half court, ready to balance if we realize the primary fastbreak; only in the second stage he will be
part of the secondary fastbreak or of an eventual offensive transition.
COMPLETE THE FASTBREAK
To develop the mentality of the defensive transition, it is important to have some basic rules:
1. The two big men go for an offensive rebound, while the three outside players balance; in case of
penetration of one of the three outside players, the big man, who is generally farthest away from the
basket, helps to balance.
2. The big man nearest to the opponent’s rebounder hinders the outlet pass, and then runs, as fast as
possible, into his area.
3. The outside player, who is nearest the opponent’s dribbler, who is pushing the fastbreak, must find a
way to slow down the ball. His teammates must guard the shooters and be ready to work on possible
penetrations, helping and recovering.
ONE-ON-ONE ON THE BALL
Great responsibility is given to the defender on the ball, who must not be overtaken in a one-on-one
situation. He must try to avoid the defensive helps, the defensive switches and eventual rotations.
1. Try to contain the dribbler, at least for the first three or four dribbles, giving teammates time to set up.
2. Push the ball near the sidelines whenever possible, avoiding central penetrations, that create new
passing lanes for the offensive player.
3. Only after that, we prevent the offensive player from using his strong hand. If he receives the ball, the
defender must deny an easy crossover.
4. If the ball is in the low post, we try to contain the offensive player as long as possible, making him
dribble to the central lane. We then close the direction, forcing him to go to the baseline, where help from
the weakside will arrive.
ONE-ON-ONE ON THE PLAYER WITHOUT THE BALL
1. Aggressively overplay the man near the ball, staying on the passing lane with the arm or with the body.
2. Leave the player far from the ball (weakside), ready to see the ball and the player, to help and to start a
rotation from the baseline.
3. With the player in the low post position, we try to overplay three/quarter, preventing him from easily
receiving the ball, rotating around the player in relation to the ball position.

It is important to underline some considerations:
▼ All the players must do all the rotations from the weakside at the same time. It is necessary to always
look at the ball. [Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:open_popup('[Only Registered Users Can See Links]','a_327',740,569);)[Only Registered Users Can See Links] (javascript:void(0))
[Only Registered Users Can See Links] g
▼ All the rotations must close all the most dangerous passing lanes that lead to a negative mismatch on
the defensive box-out.
[Only Registered Users Can See Links]
▼ If we want to increase the aggressiveness of our overplays, we lift up the defensive line of the player,
who guards the man without the ball, trying to steal as many balls as possible.

▼ Recover on the offensive player, who received a dish off, by running towards him, hindering the shot
and trying to make two lateral slides if he starts to drive.
▼ The box-out must be done by all five defensive players in order to grab the defensive rebound.
DEFENSE ON SCREENS
Always keeping pressure on the ball to hinder the pass, we:
Go behind the screen in third position on the weakside.

3. Work together on pick-and-rolls, pushing the offensive player on the screen and making a strong step
out, with the defender of the screener, who pops out perpendicularly to the driving line of the dribbler, to
disturb and slow down the passing action. In relation to the dangerousnessof the other big man, we can either switch
between 4 and 5 (diagr. 11 and 12) or help from the weakside on the big man, who rolls inside and stays with the other
offensive player, who is open on the threepoint line for a possible shot (diagr. 13, 14 and 15).

It is very important to keep in mind that, on every screen there is the possibility of an automatic switch.
This creates an advantage in keeping a good overplay on the players without the ball, and some
imbalance on the covers, creating many mismatch situations. The direct consequence is that a big man
must defend one-on-one against a smaller player and vice-versa. This situation can typically be used in
last six to eight seconds of an action, when the offense has not the necessary time to adequately set up.
