Nothing e1cels the rive-nan de
tense in basket ball. because the
system is sound Fundamentally.
To be sure, there are ways of
breaking it up just as there are
ways Of breaking through any de-
Tense. The big point in it's favor
is that it automatically takes care
of any attack, as each player takes
the opponent nearest to him when
he reaches the middle Of the floor
and sticks TO him.
Another big advantage is that in
case the ball is secured at mid floor,
as it usually is. the team securing
it has a, comparatively short dis
lance to work the ball down the
floor in an attempt to score.
The fallacy Of stationing defen-
sive players all over the floor is
obvious. Note the two pictures
above. The upper one shows the
five-nan defense, which is hard to
penetrate. The lower one shows
the defense sea ttered. Any one
can see that this defense can be
penetrated more easily. because it
is almost impossible for the players
to cooperate in carrying out a sys-
