Tom Izzo
These notes are from John Zall’s Michigan State Defensive Playbook
“Hit, Find and Fetch” – this is Michigan State’s rebounding mantra. Tom Izzo preaches stepping towards the player YOU are boxing out and making contact to force them away from the rim. Instead of holding your seal and letting the ball hitthe floor; Michigan State players are taught to go find the basketball and rebound it out of the air.
• Use 2 hands to go after the basketball
• Rebound ball above head = good rebound
• Low man wins when making initial contact
• Sends 4 to the offensive glass (Point Guard gets back). This forces the other team to adjust.
• Must be able to get back behind post player on shot attempt
It is important to contain the basketball. Multiple help rotations lead to players being out of position to rebound.
Defensive teaching point–more turnovers are forced by pressure on the basketball rather than the other 4 defenders.
Must have elbow help and block help.

Offense/Defense Synergy
A major key to your defense is your offense (live ball turnovers will kill your defense)
Control the game with your offense so that teams are forced to 5 on 5 versus your defense
Personnel is everything (Why is this only talked about offensively? Does your defensive scheme fit with your personnel?)
Practice
Majority of team work in practice involves some kind of disadvantage work.
Create drills where you can’t possibly rest.
Playing hard isn’t enough. You need to play smart too.
Stance
Chest in front
Butt to the rim
Make him score over you
Fingers to the sky
Hands in front (forces you to have your head back)
As he picks up his dribble, inch up to his body to take away vision
Difference Between Winning and Losing
Willingness to play team ball
Willingness to be held accountable
Willingness to cover for each other
Just because a player is talented, doesn’t mean you can win with him
Sell your team on why we win and other teams don’t (Make sure they understand it’s often not about talent)
