Leading the nation in team defense is no small task. Coach Pivec credits his tough man-to-man defense and his unique 23 Hot junk defense for this accomplishment. Using his junk defenses and their variations limits the ability for high scoring players to operate and keeps the offense off balance while disrupting their flow. Pivec uses on-floor instruction to illustrate the multiple advantages of 23 Hot, which includes aggressive traps, post fronts and pass denials. Coaches can run three unique defensive "looks" from the basic 23 Hot: man-to-man, scramble and box-and-1. Other variations include four surprise attack options from a 1-2-2 zone, in addition to 50 and 51 full from a half court set. Junk defenses are an equalizer that will complement your basic man defense. Pivec's defense increases turnovers, lowers shooting percentage and disrupts offenses. All positive outcomes for your team.
