Would you be half court trapping? Or pressing full court, or could it be either? Is the halfcourt trap a base defense?



I don't think the Half Court trap is a base defense in my expierence. We usually ran it out of a 2-3 zone, or a 3-2 zone. But I have seen teams run it out of m2m before.

But I think that the Base defense's should only be M2M, 2-3 Zone, or 3-2 Zone, with the option of putting in the press, or trap as add-ons to the defense.

Because you can pretty much have any type of press, or traps out of those 3 base defenes.
