2-1-2 Press – Complete Coaching Guide

The 2-1-2 press does a great job of flustering an offense by forcing them to break a press by doing something they’ve been told they shouldn’t: Dribble up the sideline instead of getting the ball to the middle. The 2-1-2 press is a great change-up press to use in conjunction with another press to keep the offense guessing. If you have some athletic guards who can pressure the basketball and some posts who can cover a lot of ground, the 2-1-2 press may be something you want to try out.
