I know it was talked about some in hear but can someone explain the defensive settings a little more? For on ball pressure you have gap, moderate, tight, smother what do those all do? I have no clue what gap or smother is. For off ball pressure you have again gap, moderate, tight and deny. Force direction you have baseline and middle how do you guys set that up? I kind of know what it dose but how do you use that to help? Screen you have go under, go over, switch, ice. What does ice do? Hedge you have no hedge, soft hedge hard hedge what do those all do? For post you have behind, 3/4 top, 3/4 bottom and front. What dose 3/4 top and bottom do?

- Gap, moderate etc are just simply distances to the ball handler. Gap is farthest away, daring them to shoot and leaving a lot of space to cut off drives, smother is the closest, you will try to always be in contact with the handler, being physical. Off ball is the same, Gap meaning you sag way off (good for help defenders) Deny meaning you are smothering them at all times, trying to stop them from even recieving a pass.
so:
Gap = sag off (concedes the jumper)
Moderate = medium distance
Tight = play close to man
Smother/Deny = play physical, make them feel you (concedes the drive)
- Icing a pick means smothering the ball handler before the pick is set. Basically overloading the direction the ballhandler needs to go to use the pick. Icing a pick anticipates the screen, and blitzes the ballhandler before he can even use it, but also gives the ballhandler a huge driving lane to the opposite side. This is a good strategy for forcing the ball handler towards the sideline/baseline, since icing is best against picks set up to let the handler attack the middle. Use ice for guys who constantly call pick and rolls to drive down the center of the lane.
- 3/4'ing the post means defending the posted player from the side (one foot in front, one in back) so you can attempt to swat away the entry pass. "Top" means you are on the high post side, "bottom" means you are on his baseline side. This should be based on where the entry pass usually comes from. If the opponent likes to feed the post from above the foul line, use top. If he likes to feed the post from the corner or deepper wing, use the bottom.
