The Outer 1/3 Defense differs from traditional man-to-man defense in a few important ways. Most significantly, unlike man-to-man defense, the Outer 1/3 Defense prioritizes spatial control over individual player assignments. It's all about forcing opponents to the outer thirds of the court, denying them access to the middle. By implementing this team-based approach, you'll see improved coordination with principles that are easier for your players to grasp and execute. Question #2: Why have teams had so much success playing an Outer 1/3 Defense with no middle allowed?  First and foremost, denying access to the middle forces opponents onto longer, more challenging routes to the basket. It disrupts their offensive flow and increases the chances of: - Turnovers - Contested shots - And disrupted plays When you deny the middle, you disrupt offensive spacing and passing lanes, throwing off your opponents' execution. They're forced to rely on perimeter shots or low-percentage drives, reducing their scoring efficiency.  In short, you take away most team’s primary goal, paint touches, and you also dictate the flow of the game. Your defense is now in control of the game!   Question #3: Is this defensive style only right for more advanced teams?  Great question! One of the best aspects of the Outer 1/3 Defense is its adaptability for teams at any skill level.  Coach LoGalbo has designed this system to be both effective and easy to implement, regardless of your team's experience or talent level.  The beauty of this system lies in its simplicity:  Coach LoGalbo has outlined three non-negotiable principles that simplify the concepts for ALL your players. (These principles are covered at 5:04 in the video and on page 7 of the Ebook, and they serve as the foundation for mastering the Outer 1/3 Defense.)  Even if you're a beginner team, you can quickly grasp these core principles and immediately frustrate opposing offenses.  So whether you're an advanced team looking to add layers of complexity or a beginner team focusing on mastering the fundamentals, the Outer 1/3 Defense could be the perfect fit for you.   Question #4: Why does it work so well against more talented teams?  Due to the flexible nature of this defense, you can extend it to full court to overwhelm the opponent.  You can also drop back in the quarter-court and act like aggressive pests. This can be especially frustrating for highly talented teams...  This is because talented teams are often accustomed to having their way with opponents on the offensive end. By preventing them from getting into the lane and taking easy shots you'll slowly break them down psychologically...which will bear fruit in the second half!  See, most talented teams aren't used to grinding it out and being patient! So it's a great way to sneak out some victories against more talented teams.   Question #5: Who is Coach Nick LoGalbo?  Coach Nick LoGalbo is a highly accomplished and respected figure in the world of basketball.  His resume and qualifications speak for themselves–here are just a few of his notable accomplishments: - 3 FIBA World Cup Gold Medals For USA Basketball 3-on-3 Men and Women U18, Head Coach. - USA Basketball 5-on-5 Junior National Team Court Coach - Head basketball coach at Lane Tech Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois. - Founder of the Chicago Glow Basketball School, where they develop inner-city youth into upstanding men and great athletes. - School’s first Top 25 Chicagoland ranking in over 20 years - One of the top ranked defenses in a highly competitive Chicago league conference Coach LoGalbo’s expertise in the game and his ability to develop winning strategies, such as the Outer 1/3 Defense, make him an invaluable resource for coaches looking to take their teams to new heights.  There you have it—these are the most common questions we’ve heard so far, but if you have any others, feel free to reply to this email and let us know.
