LAVERGNE

Get back! Limit transition. Play sound Defense. Don't gamble. They will make unforced TOs.
Expect quick shots - BOX OUT!
Stop #2 from getting to the paint. We can look to double / trap him and force other people to beat us.
Be aware of #21. Don't let him beat us with a spot up 3 or offensive rebound put back.
When #21 isn't on the floor, #24 is a weak rim protector. Look to the post for a hard 2/lay-up.

Poor 3-point shooting team. Don't let them get within 15'.

Expect pressure. 3-2 zone or Man.
Expect Traps, Reaching In and to be Swarmed.

DON'T SETTLE FOR JUMP SHOTS AGAINST THEIR ZONE!

Be patient, strong with the ball, and FIND THE OPEN MAN.

They run a 5-out offense with #2 PG calling for a High Screen PNR about 80% of the time with #21.

November 20: Loss vs. Nolensville 80-40

Man Defense.
Super Active tipping and stealing passes.
Pressure the ball at volleyball line.
Swarmball. Almost always double the ball.

5 second shot clock mentality. Settled for jump shots or 1 pass quick shot. A lot of 1-on-1 ISO ball.

November 24: Loss vs. Father Ryan 60-35

High PNR action top of key with #2 and #21 all game.

Played very effective (3-2) Zone in the first half.

Played it close through the first 20 minutes. Game got away from them in 3rd Quarter with too many unforced turnovers and very lazy defense.

November 24: Loss vs. Cane Ridge 76-71

High PNR action top of key with #2 and #21 all game.

Played very effective (3-2) Zone in the first half.

Almost always double the ball.

Did well in second quarter turning defense into offense.

Want to get out and RUN!

November 25: Loss vs. Kirkwood 76-26

December 2: Loss vs. Pope John Paul II 80-49

Man Defense.

December 4: Loss at East Nashville 56-55

Played 3-2 Zone.

Called TO literally 10 seconds into the game to set up a press breaker.

Played Less High PNR, and more 5 out sets with #2 playing 1-on-1
