To understand Level 3 in the
Dynamic Defense, you must first understand Situations.
So, what's a Situation?
Put simply: a
situation is an offensive action that demands a switch or a double-team in order to stop the ball. That means if help and recover techniques (
Level 2) are not enough to stop an offensive attack, that attack has just been escalated to a situation and now requires a Level 3 defender.
A Level 3 defender can recognize situations and either switch or double-team to stop the action.
Well, as you can imagine, it would be difficult to list every Situation so instead I've focused the lens on a typical action that creates a Situation for many teams: Feeding the Post.
The video below is an excerpt from Dynamic Defense, our newly released DVD series on taking your defense to the next level… literally.

Now,
feeding the post doesn't always create a situation. If the post player can be defended one-on-one, then there’s no Level 3 Situation. But, oftentimes that offensive post player demands the attention of a double-team.
