I’m relatively new to SAVI. I coach boys Varsity basketball in Wisconsin for a D4 (will be D5 this year based in enrollment). Last year, I implemented a match up zone defense that worked very well - got better as the season went on. Teams struggled with identifying what we were running - some yelled out man to man and others yelled out zone. I really like the concept of the Lock Left defense. RBUT is a good philosophy. My question is with the limited amount of time I have to install it (in Wisconsin we get less than 2 weeks of practice before our first game and over the summer I have about 1 practice a week excluding one week), how do I go about installing this with the limited time frame I have? I’m concerned it will be overwhelming with new terminology, roles and responsibilities. From a program perspective I feel like it would be beneficial. Another question u have is how early is too early to teach the Lock Left Defense? Is Youth and Middle School too early?
