@Bill Slater yes. In games I have to hide them a bit as when the ball hits them it’s a turnover. I want players to know there roll…are the shoot it, move it or drive it players…but I also don’t want to break the confidence of a kid. All my kids think thy can make the nba even though ¼ won’t make varsity.

🚦 Transition Defense: Why “GET BACK” Isn’t Enough
The LockLeft defensive system is not just about influencing the ball in a certain direction - it's about why, when, where and how we do that...all of which is based on data! 🧠 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics discovered something powerful: 📊 The farther a defender is from the ball in transition, the more points their team gives up. - The maximum distance between a defender and the primary threat (the ball) directly predicts points allowed per possession. 🔑 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US: - Our goal in transition defense isn’t just to “get back to the paint” — it’s to get to the threat early. Identify and engage the ball before they create momentum or vision. 🧭 The LockLeft Principle 1. Start the ball left – force the dribbler to the weaker side. 2. Blind the ball downhill – limit vision & passing angles, while keeping them moving under pressure. 3. Put the ball in Jail – shrink the floor to the left corner below the free-throw line extended. Once the ball is in Jail, the offense’s efficiency plummets — even elite players are dramatically less effective when forced left. ❌ ✅ That’s how we neutralize transition — not by retreating, but by attacking the threat!

So I have been teaching the first guy back to protect the rim and the second guy back to stop the ball...are you saying I should reverse this? I have went with this because When we stopped ball first the hit ahead passes got 9s scored on us all day...
