Our team gotten very good at getting the first trap but struggles to get the second/third trap out of the press. What are the things you emphasize to work towards getting multiple traps when pressing.

Thank you in advance for your response

Identify the spots where you want secondary traps. In practice only allow the traps in areas where secondary traps occurred. Do not let them trap the first pass and you get more secondary traps. The real trick is to get all five to see the trap so you have interceptors. You really need to get them in practice. They will get better. As the season progresses. We also try to force sideline once the ball has been reversed and get our down court guys to stay up the line from the guy they are guarding and you will see many traps just after half court. Good luck! Coach Haske
