Team Coordination Effective drop coverage requires strong communication and coordination among all defenders.

Reading the Offense Defenders must anticipate the ball handler's moves and adjust their positions accordingly.

[{"selector":"#anim-a855f534-3336-47d3-bb56-460e3fd1c8ab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-51c36f7d-1bd8-409e-a911-363b194848e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(96.00887%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Limiting Fouls By maintaining verticality and positioning, defenders can contest shots without committing fouls.
