Understanding where the line is fine. Playing the line outside the perimeter is a bad idea. Opens the back door. I always teach "ball, you, man,"principle. The line makes sense in the post however but if you start with making sure they always see the ball and their man, you are rather safe as well.
Doesn't being "on the line" on a high post action make it easier for back door cuts? If the player is "hugging" the offensive player that makes it a hell of a lot harder to cut backdoor, doesn't that put the defender at a disadvantage playing up so high?
The answer, which you didn't get, is yes. Younger players are very literal, and if you put them on that line they will not be in position to see both their man and the basketball, will be open to a back door cut, and won't be in a position to help. The defender should be able to point at their man and the basketball forming a shallow triangle.

as young kids were taught to stay between our man and the basket
yes and they also fear losing sight of their man and giving up an easy basket.
Wow, I would like to learn more about this. I always thought man to man was exactly that. Do you have anymore videos or plans about this?
this helped so much!
Thanks for watching.
Good tips
A lot of backdoor potential with this philosophy

Was there a specific time in the video you are referring to or just a general question?

So this is what they mean when they say play the passing lanes. Good strategy!
