Introducing The Outer 1/3 Defense -
A Simplified Approach To The No-Middle Defense

As I'm sure you're well aware...

The No-Middle Defense has swept the basketball world by storm... resulting in numerous championships at the state, regional, and national levels!

It's no wonder that top college teams like the Baylor Bears and Texas Tech Raiders and even high school coaching legends like 1,000-win Jerry Petitgoue have transitioned to this smothering man to man defense.

That's why I felt some urgency to get this brand-new program out to you asap!

And to guide you in seamlessly installing the No-Middle Defense--called the "Outer 1/3 Defense"-we've teamed up with USA Basketball coach Nick LoGalbo!

Coach LoGalbo will show you how to easily teach this incredibly effective defense to your team in a simple step-by-step format.

After working through the program and experiencing Coach LoGalbo's unique ability to break concepts down with crystal clear instruction, it'll be apparent why USA Basketball wanted this talented coach to be a part of their storied tradition!

With the Outer 1/3 Defense, Coach LaGalbo will not only show you how to develop this powerful defense step-by-step, but he'll also show you HOW TO TEACH the defense and correct your players like an elite-level coach so that you'll be able to...

Stop The #1 Goal Of Most Offenses!

See most coaches design their offenses with the #1 goal of getting paint touches...

Plain and simple... possessions withpaint touches = a higher shooting percentage!

That's because attacking the paint usually...

• Results in the highest percentage shot...
• Initiates more fouls.
• Creates more free throws
• Forces the defense to collapse and creates opportunities for open kick-out 3-point shots.
• Opens up driving opportunities off the kick-out pass.
• Opens up schemes and plays designed to get open perimeter shots.

Quite simply, you've broken down the defense when you get it into the paint.

But here's the good news for coaches wanting to prevent this...

With the Outer 1/3 Defense you'll be able to impose YOUR WILL on the Offense... rather than the other way around!

Remember, teams aren't great because they get lucky. Teams are great because they are better prepared.>

This scheme will ensure you're always one step ahead of your opponent's offense... which will translate into more wins.

I know that sounds pretty simple, so let's dive into some of the specifics on how the Outer 1/3 Defense from Coach Nick LoGalbo can propel your defense to the next level!

7 Powerful Reasons To Make The Switch To The Outer 1/3 Defense...

First off, the Outer 1/3 Defense is commonly referred to as the No-Middle Defense... It is an intense defensive approach used to prevent the ball from getting to the middle of the basketball floor... It denies entry via the dribble and the pass.

This scrappy man to man defense is great for eliminating dribble drives, deterring easy passes with constant ball pressure, and contesting every shot with lightning quick rotations.

With that in mind, here are seven reasons to consider installing this defense...

• Simplicity - The brilliance behind this incredibly potent defense is that Coach LoGalbo has made it very simple and easy to implement...
  
  So long as you follow his "3 non-negotiables" to simplifying concepts for your players (these are covered at 5:04 in the video and on p. 7 of the Ebook).
• Quickly and Easily Gauge Success - Since Coach LoGalbo utilizes tape on the floor to show them where the offense cannot go, it quickly gives them immediate feedback whether they were successful.
  
  This is a powerful feedback tool that results in quick improvement.


• Dictation! - This defense is all about dictating what the offense is allowed to do
  
  Great offenses want paint touches and ball reversals. Outer 1/3 Defense takes these effective offensive elements away and forces shots that are off balanced and out of rhythm!
• Flexible and Neutralizes More Talented Teams - Due to the flexible nature of this defense, you can extend it to full court to overwhelm the opponent.
  
  You can also drop back in the quarter-court and act like aggressive pests. This can be especially frustrating for highly talented teams...
  
  This is because talented teams are often accustomed to having their way with opponents on the offensive end. By preventing them from getting into the lane and taking easy shots you'll slowly break them down psychologically...which will bear fruit in the second half!
  
  See most talented teams aren't used to grinding it out and being patient! It's a great way to sneak out some victories against more talented teams.
• Frustrate Elite Point Guards And Post Players - Coach LoGalbo shows you the best defensive strategies within this defense to stifle elite guards and elite post players.
  
  He even shows you how to adapt ball screen coverages based on the opponent's strengths.
• Ball Fakes and Shot Fakes Are Less Effective - Due to the way that angles and positioning are emphasized, it greatly reduces the effectiveness of ball fakes and shot fakes.
  
  This helps your defenders maintain great position which forces the offense into low-percentage shots.
• Proven Track Record - And the proof is in the pudding, Coach LoGalbo helped his school reach its first Top 25 Chicagoland ranking in over 20 years... while producing one of the top defenses in an elite conference. A conference that constantly produces the next Blue Blood talent that you will see on TV in the future.
  
  Coach LoGalbo's elite teaching ability is also a reason he was selected as USA Basketball coach where they won the Gold in the FIBA 3v3 basketball tournament.
  
  And here's a little more about Nick LoGalbo...

USA Basketball 3x Gold Medalist Coach Nick LoGalbo

As mentioned, Coach Nick LoGalbo has spent time as a USA Basketball Junior Nationals Coach and nearly 20 years as a high school coach.

Here are some of his accomplishments...

• 3 FIBA World Cup Gold Medals For USA Basketball 3-on-3 Men and Women U18, Head Coach.
• USA Basketball 5-on-5 Junior National Team Court Coach.
• Head basketball coach at Lane Tech Prep High School in Chicago, Illinois.

• Founder where they develop inner-city youth into upstanding men and great athletes.
• School's first Top 25 Chicagoland ranking in over 20 years.
• One of the top ranked defenses in a highly competitive Chicago league conference.

...I'm sure you can imagine how ultra-competitive things are in the Chicago area for basketball!

After all, Chicago has had their fair share of NBA legends- e.g. Anthony Davis, Dwyane Wade, Isaiah Thomas, Doc Rivers, Tim Hardaway, Patrick Beverley, Derrick Rose, and many more!

And while you may not find yourself coaching elite-level talent...

...you can certainly find yourself going up against it.

Coach LoGalbo experiences this firsthand...

...and regurlary has 20+ win seasons.

More times than not, he finds himself coaching against a lot of very athletic and talented teams.

So, his players have to be smarter, tougher, and more disciplined than their opponents.

It's usually the only way they stand a chance to be competitive and respected.

And after trying a variation of defenses like zone defenses, full court presses, and other man to man defenses...

The Outer 1/3 Defense has been far and away his most successful...

As it fit their team's identity and helped them compete with the big-hitters in Chicago!
