BRAD STEVENS’ DEFENSIVE PRINCIPLES…
These were notes from the University of Florida Coaches’ Clinic last August. Thanks to Mark Daigneault for providing these:
Coach Stevens developed these 6 Defensive "DNA" Principles because he was coaching six freshmen who needed to learn how to play their defensive system.
1. Commitment - In 11 years, he never had a player in the program that worked his tail off on the defensive end that wasn’t a great teammate and student.
2. Positioning – Starts with transition.
3. Prioritization – The goal is to stop the other team from scoring.
4. Awareness – Awareness can allow a marginal athlete to become a very good defender – more so than a great athlete with marginal awareness.
5. Execution/Technique – Technique is easy to work on in individuals (workouts).
6. Completion – The importance of finishing plays (blocking out)
