Helping Defensively

One thing that we have to analyze is how we want to help defensively.  With so many teams running dribble drive and looking to draw quick and immediate help, we need to make sure we don't come off the strong side at the first thrust. 

Once the dribble drive forces the defense to pinch, it allows the kick out for 3pter, it opens up the second drive behind the first drive and finally the it allows for the +1 pass to punish the defense for 'helping the helper'.

The help has to come off the strong or weakside post.  Going to be a hard defensive principle to teach but this allows the perimeter to stay locked in awhile longer.
