C. Vivian Stringer: The 55 Full-Court Pressure Defense

with C. Vivian Stringer,
Rutgers University Head Coach,
3X National Coach of the Year

C. Vivian Stringer has proven to be one of the all-time best coaches in collegiate basketball with more than 700 career wins in her 30+year career! A large part of Coach Stringer's success as a coach has come from her aggressive and intense style of defense, including full-court pressure defense. Stringer has used full-court pressure defense to overwhelm and frustrate opponents and to score more effectively. Using on-court demonstrators, Stringer outlines all of the important elements, Xs and Os, rules and drills to best utilize her "55" full-court pressure defense. Stringer systematically builds this pressure defense as she walks through each player's positioning, responsibilities and rules in great detail. This defense is used to cause turnovers, create fast breaks, control game tempo and increase scoring opportunities with an aggressive, trapping style, which easily transitions into half-court man or zone defense. This defense will get all your players involved in the game and make your team better both defensively and offensively! 77 minutes. 2005.
