In this lesson, you'll learn how to contain the offense once a pass is made over the top into the front court and how to use this opportunity to trap.

Further Discussion:

X5 must communicate if they are going to stay home and protect the hoop or go to trap the receiver of the pass. The second line defender who is in the middle of the court must read the pass and be mindful of the communication from X5 so three defenders don't try to trap one player.
