- Man or Zone? First off, you’ll want to figure out if you’re going up against a man to man, or a zone defense. Versus a man to man, you'll probably run a 3-out-2-in, 4 out or a 5 out set.
- Study Your Opponents Defense. Every defense has its strengths and weaknesses. For example a sagging type defense, where their priority is locking down the paint, will be very tough to penetrate or feed the post against, but will as a result concede many more three point shots.
- Evaluate the Matchups. Creating and taking advantage of mismatches is one of the ways you can have a huge impact on the game as a coach. If your big men are towering over your opponents down on the block, you need to exploit your size advantage.
- Know Your Own Player’s Strengths and Weaknesses. A player’s effectiveness on the court will be largely due to the role you as a coach put them in. When you look at a team like the Detroit Pistons of the 2000s that went on to beat the Lakers super-team in the finals, you see a team that had clearly defined roles for every player in the starting lineup, letting them all play to their strengths.
