My name is Michael Snell and I am currently an assistant men's basketball coach at Division II
Bloomfield College of NJ. After several years of being asked to train individual players and turning
down the majority of those requests, I've decided to start my own informational portal here, dealing
with basketball defense.
My reasons are several, but most importantly I've felt this necessary because the level of play on the defensive
end of the floor is grading somewhere near a D- if not an F across all levels from Pee-Wee up to and including the NBA.
I believe there are several factors to blame, not the least of which are a lack of overall basketball knowledge (IQ),
AAU programs and individualized offensive instruction.
Here I will share the knowledge and techniques that I've perfected in my 30+ years of playing for and working with
some of the very best defensive coaches to ever teach the game. Topics I will cover weekly will include but are not
limited to the following...
* Defensive Philosophies and Principles
* Man to Man Defense
* Zone Defense
* Help Side Defense
* Man and Zone Presses
* Defensive Technique / Footwork
* Rebounding
* Strength & Conditioning
