Breaking the Press
Basketball Press Break Offense Videos
One test you will have to pass as a basketball team is the ability to break a full court or half court press. There are various ways to break a press but no matter how you start the press break it will always end up needing these:
- Ball Side Sideline player
- Player in the middle
- Deep Diagonal player
- Player to reverse the ball to
Having players in these positions will keep the spacing on the floor good and give you your best chance to beat the press. Some coaches will start with 1,2,3 or 5 players up. No matter how you start your players you should end up in the configuration above.
Being a good press break team comes from developing players that can catch, pass, pivot, and use ball fakes. Just because you put players in a press break formation doesn’t mean they will be able to do it. You need to spend time in practice working with them passing under pressure and traps. Don’t let your players take unnecessary dribbles when breaking the press. The best way to beat the press is by passing the ball.
