Abilene Christian Defense
This 2021 NCAA Tournament has been so much fun to watch from a coach's perspective.
Especially the ACU-Texas game.
Of course, all the experts going into the game said that Texas would win because of their athleticism and playing in a tougher conference like the Big 12.
Well, we saw what happened and the first thing that went through my mind was
“How do the ACU coaches get those players to play so hard and intense on defense?”
Turns out this was not a fluke event. It is something they practice daily and have built into their culture.
Do you know who Brette Tanner is?
Coach Tanner is the mastermind behind ACU’s pressure defense system and in this course, he breaks down the blueprint to their defensive success.
Check Out this video where Coach Tanner discusses the “Why” of their defense
In addition to the philosophy of their defense, Coach Tanner also covers
How they teach on-ball pressure
Guarding away from the ball
How to guard the post
How they defend ball screens
What I really like about this course is that the defense is not so much based on the talent level of the team, but more around the heart and will of the team to defend, rebound and get stops.
The results speak for themselves.
If you are looking to add a spark or new intensity to your defensive system, you really need to take a close look at this course.
