Stop the Ball - no need to run to the ball in the back court. Let the player come to you; meet them at/near the half-court line.
Sprint to the Middle - we should always beat the ball down the floor. we should never let the other five players beat us to the packline!
Find your players from the Inside Out - From the middle/paint/lane (after making sure no help is needed on the ball/drive) point to your player and call out their name/number. Recover to your packline positions.
One person ONLY out of the packline at a time (guarding the ball).
One Pass Away - One Step off your player - One Step to the ball (a.k.a. - the Rule of 1's)
Two Passes Away - On the help line and/or lane line
Move on the PASS of the ball, not on the CATCH of the opponent.
Help EARLY, the recover to your 1-pass or 2-pass away spots.
Finish each possession with a block out and rebound.
