Jim Larranaga: The Scramble 2-Pack
The Full-Court Scramble
with Jim Larranaga,
George Mason University Head Coach
Many coaches and programs have used the half-court scramble successfully for many years. Now, with this tape, comes the opportunity to cause offenses more problems by employing the full-court scramble. In this tape, Coach Larranaga details the five different forms this defense can take: man, quick trap, slow trap, twist, and zone pressure. He teaches the positioning and responsibilities of all five players in each situation and when is the best time to employ each. For example, twist is an excellent defense to use to take the ball out of the hands of an outstanding ball-handler. In addition, Coach Larranaga demonstrates the breakdown drills he uses to teach these defenses.

Jim Larranaga: The Scramble Defense
with Jim Larranaga,
George Mason University
Coach Larranaga builds the Scramble from the ground up through chalkboard instruction and game and practice footage to highlight key points. Starting with 1-on-1 drills, he takes you through each phase of the Scramble (2-on-2, 3-on-3, and 4-on-4) until you reach the 5-on-5 frenzy that has made the Scramble famous. The Scramble is a man-to-man defense with trapping principles. Use it regularly to take your opponents out of their offensive rhythm or use it sparingly to surprise the offense and force key turnovers. The Scramble can be used as a half-court or 3/4-court trapping defense.
