After the pass t o 2 , 1 corner cuts opposite. As soon as 5 catches, 3 cuts hard t o

Initial set up:
X1 will pick the ball early. This is NOT a
"pack i t i n the paint" zone.
X2 guards any high post player and
anticipates first pass
X3 & X4 are high and wide preventing pass
into corners
X5 plays post defense
Commonly, Baylor's opponents use an t w o X1 and X2 have now traded ball pressure
guard front. and high post coverage responsibility
I t is the j o b o f X1 and X2 t o trade o f f ball X3 is inside o f and deeper than the deepest
pressure and high post coverage. When the man o n his side o f the floor.
pass is made f r o m 1 t o 2 , X2 closes o u t the
ball while X1 drops t o high post coverage. X4 is i n the passing lane preventing the pass
t o the corner
X3 and X4 can help the t o p guards cover the
wings i f needed, they come as high as the
offense operates. If the ball is opposite o f
one o f the wings, they want t o be inside and
deeper than the lowest man o n their side o f
the court.
