A Box-and-1 Special.


A simple play that will produce high-percentage shots whenever your star is taken out of the offense

COACHES WHO ARE FORTU-nate enough to have a franchise player would do well to prepare something special for all the box-and-one defenses The Box-and-one defense is a particular type of defense used in basketball.
