Jerry Tarkanian: UNLV Amoeba Zone Defense

Tark explains, in several teaching progressions, why your zone defense must be similar to your man-to-man defense. Coach Tarkanian shows how the Amoeba prevents the offensive players from getting into the gaps, beating you with the dribble and getting cross-court passes. On-court, the Runnin' Rebels demonstrate run glide run, zig zags, close outs and denials. Drills include the Amoeba drill for guards, back line, 5-on-7, 5-on-5 and how to double team the first pass.
