great explanation, i think learning defensive rotation at a young age is important, i learned it as a freshman and more advanced in 10th grade with my aau team it really helped my understanding of defensive schemes in general
Thanks I know what hedging is but I still have a question. Could noah and the main defender switch? It may be a miss match but it's better than an open 3 if Davis popped out
I would say that the first example shown in this video is more of a drop coverage. Drop coverage is when the guy who defends screener is lower to prevent any easy layups. Hedge is different because the guy defending the screener should look like he’s about to double team the ball handler, he basically tries to scare the ball handler away from the hoop for a little second. But as soon as the on ball defender comes back, he sprints back to the guy who set the screen and rolled. You need really good team communication for hedging. This is because the guy who rolls to the hoop will need to be covered by help side defense which leaves an open shooter. Good offensive point guards can exploit this. Quick defenders can be good at hedging. It’s definitely a harder screen coverage tactic, but when it’s well utilized, the offensive team will have a really hard time to get easy buckets. It’s a good confidence breaker.

What program do you use to draw and annotate the clips?

could switch but you want to stay away from mismatches

In this particular play the defender was burnt off the screen. Better option here would have been to switch and get in front of ball carrier.
Great video!
Thanks!
Just wonderin is hedge and drop coverage the same thing?

Great explanation, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
That looked more like he was icing than hedging …he never went heel to toe with his team mate and remained behind the SNR
Thanks
First
nice job
