How Baylor Runs Their "No Middle" Defense

In this video, we breakdown how the 2021 National Championship Baylor Bears ran their "no middle" defense. The focus of this defensive philosophy is to keep the ball out of the paint as much as possible, and they do that by keeping the ball from being driven to the middle of the floor. They overemphasis closing out to the top shoulder on the perimeter, and influence baseline drives.
Once they force the ball-handler to drive baseline, they are early to rotate out of the paint to stop (and sometimes trap/double team) the ball, and they scramble out on the backside, when it's throw out. This philosophy is not without its own flaws, but Baylor was one of the best defensive teams in the country running this scheme.
In the video, we will breakdown their defense into four parts;
1. How they closeout
2. How they rotate
3. How they guard ballscreens
4. Their X-Factor

Wow. That's most impressive defense I think I have ever seen. Great for this era too.

@jacobhanner8625

This is exactly what our highschool runs and we gave up 38 ppg last year. If you can master the rotation when the ball is driven baseline it is very effective.

Thank you for sharing this. It's much appreciated.

Wow great breakdown!

@commentking320

super good breakdown

@JTMont21

This was always how I was taught to play defense. High school and college. We played helpline with these same rotations

@alexkozhemyakin1835

Such an excellent and very interesting recap! Thank you very much, keep going! Subscription from me, bro

@RampartPh

nice very educational breakdown. i think another factor here is how long the team has been established. they need to know the system very well and they need to be familiar w/ the nuances of each other.

@AugieV-

Great video!

Really insightful video. I love basketball (though admittedly i'm more of a glue guy than a star on the court) and love to see in depth defensive breakdowns. It's very difficult as a casual to understand when watching if the defensive possession for a team was a success. Ultimately the offense can miss on a horrible defensive possession and make a tough shot on a great one. I'm an NJ native and watch a lot of Nets and that's been on my mind with them a lot lately. They seem to have a poor defensive rating, but perhaps their scheme just has some variance? I'd love to hear any advice you have on starting these film studies to try to understand defensive schemes

great video

Great video breakdown. Very popular defensive system in today's college and high school game. What are the 3 most effective ways that you would attack this type of defense offensively?

@bryceandcarter6139

My high school team never played this way, they wanted full court pressure and denying of all passing lanes. It was frustrating, especially once we played more athletic teams that were able to beat us off the dribble. We taught “help” and help the helper or “crack back” but it wasn’t a staple of the defense and athletic teams tore us apart. It was very frustrating as a player when this defense seems like the best and most efficient in todays game.

Great breakdown. Do you have more information on this or tape? I am implementing this system with my guys and the more tape I can show them the better.

@chrispaul7849

great breakdown, my defense is very similar!

@khoryewshen6514

i would like to watch some study for undersized guard defense film breakdown

@donovansaine2396

Hello great break down. I am trying to understand at

@calebkluender7598

Great breakdown. We run this, and the past couple years, a lot more teams are five out with their Big centered at the Free throw line/ top of the key, It distorts or puts us into a gray area on who the goalie should be, what do you think?
