2v2 Defense

A progressive 2-on-2 half-court read: the on-ball defender mirrors their assignment's feet and stays lower than them, while the off-ball defender sits halfway between their own man and the ball, forming a help triangle. Coaches walk through reading a pass (moving on the release, not after the catch) before adding a live drive, where the help defender has to seal the driving lane, then recover back out to their own assignment once the ball is kicked out. A foundational read-and-recover progression before scaling up to 3-on-3 and beyond.
