The diamond press positions four defenders in a diamond shape with a fifth playing safety. This formation creates natural pressure points across the court, making it difficult for opponents to advance the ball efficiently. When properly implemented, the diamond press can be one of the most effective weapons in your defensive arsenal. It's not just about forcing turnovers – it's about controlling the game's rhythm, wearing down opponents mentally, and creating the type of defensive identity that defines championship programs.
