2-3 Zone - Short Corner Trap

Phase 1
2314512345

If the ball ends up in the short corner (like the pass from 1 to 4 here), you can trap it.

Phase 2
2314512345

4 and 5 set the trap.

3 takes the rim (since that will be the most open/vulnerable pass on the floor)

2 stays near the elbow and denies the high post area

1 takes away the immediate pass back out to 1.

Phase 3
2314512345

A common move by the offense will be to send 5 to the rim.

If this happens:

  • 3 takes 5
  • 4 and 5 stay in their trap
  • 1 takes away the obvious pass back out from the passer
Phase 4
2314512345

Now, 2 is playing between 3 and 2 trying to make a read for steal.
