Coach LoGalbo is one of the best young high school coaches in the country. He has used the Outer ⅓ (no middle) Defense to make Lane Tech one of the top programs in Chicago.

The beauty of the no middle defense is that it allows you to dictate to the offense. Rather than passively reacting to what the offense wants to do, the no middle defense forces the ball to a side and then keeps it there. This prevents opponents from reversing the ball and running their offensive actions.

Because the ball stays on one side, your defense rotates less, allowing you to stay matched up throughout possessions.

Some of the benefits of the Outer ⅓ Defense are:
-Players buy into this defense.
-Players trust the defense.
-Players have confidence in the system.
-Players know where they have to help.
-Players know where rotations come from.
-Can extend this to the full court.
-Dictate where the offense starts.
-Blow up scouting reports by keeping players to a certain side.
-Dictate what players can do.
-Take away the opponent's best player by understanding where the players like to get catches and understanding how we are going to take it away.

In this video, you’ll see 3 of the drills Coach LoGalbo has used with this team to improve various areas:

-A 1v1 closeout and toughness drill that forces your players to apply Outer ⅓ principles in different areas of the floor.

-A 2v2 shell variation that works to keep the ball on one side while reinforcing helpside responsibilities for the player not guarding the ball.

-A 3v3 No Middle drill that shows how to maintain Outer ⅓ principles in the full court and get the ball to a side early, stymying your opponent’s transition offense.

The drills in this video are just a taste of what Coach LoGalbo covers in The Outer ⅓ Defense. There, you’ll also find:

-Ball screen defense philosophy and drills

-Transition defense philosophy and drills

-Explanations of all Outer ⅓ rotations and terminology.

The Outer ⅓ is a complete defensive system. It’s the perfect coaching combination - easy to teach and miserable to play against. Implement this system and watch your defense lock down your opponents!
