Wayne Morgan: Mastering the 2-3 Zone Defense

with Wayne Morgan, Iowa State University Head Coach,
'04 NIT Final Four, 12 years with Jim Boeheim/Syracuse

Wayne Morgan learned the 2-3 Zone from the master, Jim Boeheim. Coach Morgan was an assistant at Syracuse from '84-'96 where he learned the finer points of the 2-3 Zone and helped coach Syracuse to 11 NCAA Tournaments and two NCAA National Championship games. Morgan shows you everything you need to know about the 2-3 Zone with on the court demonstrations as well as marker board Xs and Os. Morgan takes you through the keys to the zone: Ball pressure, movement, rotation and the "bump" technique. Morgan also shows you two different trap techniques to turn up the pressure on your opponents. This video shows you how to teach the 2-3 Zone to your players so they will be more active in the zone than they would be in a man-to man defense!
