This post contains two man to man plays from Mike D’Antoni and the Houston Rockets Playbook.
Adjust these sets to fit your players and philosophy and/or take bits and pieces to combine with what you already run.
I realize that the NBA defensive rules are different than high school and college, but I hope you can use these sets as food for thought for improving your system.
The plays are from The Houston Rockets Playbook assembled by Chris Filios.
