Kermit Davis Morphing 1-3-1 Zone Defense: x3 x1 x1 x3

The document summarizes Kermit Davis's morphing 1-3-1 zone defense. The defense aims to pressure the ball from the half court and force it out and up. The 2 and 4 players trap the 1 and 5 must remain active at all times to make the court look "full". The 5 player is always between the ball and rim. As the ball is lobbed, the 5 moves to stay between the ball and rim, the 1 moves out and up with the offensive player, and the 4 moves over to play a similar role on the other side. The ball handler may try to split the defense but will find the 5 ready to attack the ball.
