Film Room: Episode 9

“Film Room” is a segment on The Basketball Dictionary which breaks down random game clips via narration to dissect every component of a play. The idea is to demonstrate how small decisions — both by players and coaches — make a large impact on the outcome of possessions. A lot of terminology will be used, including much of what is already covered on the Dictionary itself.

Today’s episode explores the principles of transition defense, and primarily why it’s so important to get back the second the shot goes up if you’re in the deep corner.
