Man Defense Plays
Man to man defense is where the defender follows their check (offensive player) through their movement on the court.
The court is divided into 4 parts. Any number that is in the 40's refers to the full court. Any number that is in the 20's is half-court.
Any number that ends in '0' means that everyone stays with their check. Any number that ends in '1' means that the first pass is double teamed or trapped. Any number which ends in '2' means that the second pass is attacked with a double team or a trap. Any number that ends in '3' means to fake an attack on the first pass, but then return back to normal. Any number ending in '4' means that the player that is furthest away from the ball handler, attacks the ball handler.
