The TABC Exclusive Mini Sessions, partnered with Basketball Coaches Insider, is for TABC Members ONLY!
Watch as Jason Cantwell, Head Girls Basketball Coach at The Village School in Houston, TX, explains the lock left defense strategy, a system designed to force all action to the left side of the floor, which is tougher for most right-handed players.
He breaks down the roles of chasers (pressure and funnel left) and jokers (help and rotate), shows real examples of the defense in action, and shares key success metrics like opponents' left-side shooting percentages and forced bad shots/turnovers. Kentwell emphasizes that the defense is flexible and can be adjusted to fit any team.
