Coach Fox's mantra is "if you don't defend, you don't play." Holding players accountable for defensive play starts with a commitment to that end of the floor. Coaches need to determine the most effective way to protect the basket. Fox teaches players to take charges to protect the goal. Another key is playing the pass as well as defending the dribble. The one-on-one drill emphasizes tracing the ball with hands. This drill can be done full court or stationary. Defending on the wing takes a square stance while defending the pass and the dribble. The shell drill puts several components of defense together into one drill. This versatile shell drill allows the coach to cover multiple situations that occur in a game. A defender must be able to guard every spot on the floor. Fox teaches his philosophy on teaching the down screen, back screen, on ball screen, curl cut, denying cutters, help side position, one-on-one from the wing, help and recover, getting through screens and the cross screen.

Coach O'Neill's three cornerstones of man-to-man defense are; no easy baskets, no open threes and contested twos. O'Neill is a "run back" guy in terms of defensive transition, meaning three players sprint back on defense as soon as the shot is taken. Half court defense starts by forcing the ball to a side. At this point there is a strong side and a weak side. Weak side players are positioned in the middle of the floor for help. O'Neill believes that a team's defensive effectiveness is measured by their ability to scramble and pick up. To illustrate this, the 5-on-4 drill puts pressure on the defense by being at a one man disadvantage. This drill is done in the half court and full court, including the switch and change call. The 5-on-5 full court forces both teams to defend the basket and not give up easy shots. O'Neill teaches the keys to half court man-to-man defense, focusing on stance and trapping. Pick and roll defense includes the blitz, a hard double team on the ball handing guard. An important point is to give the offense just one way to go, especially on the ball screens. Show-High-Low is a technique for defending the on ball screen on top of the floor.
