I am curious. Has anyone had good experience with the Box and 1 Defenses? Do they work and if so, in what situations do they work best, and which situations are they not effective?

I've used it the whole season. 22-0 in the regular season + made it to the 7th round of the cup + now playing in the finals ;D Not sure if it's because of box +1 defence but it certainly has made some kind of an impact.

I think they work if your opponent has one player far superior to the rest. If he has a balanced roster, I think you're asking for trouble playing this defense.

It works the best against izolation tactics. If your oponent have beast player. Basicly your best defender should face enemies best offensive player, while other teammates will work on closing passing lanes. So if your oponent tries to run izolation for a player with low passing, and your defender gona have decent defense, then enemy will shot bricks all the nite long.

apart from this i think that box and one defense can also be helpful in a slower paced offense coz in that case too the team usually passes the ball to its best shooters so if ur best defender is defending the best shooter he will miss most of the shots.

Was thinking about it too, but havent tried it yet. gona try to use it at scrimage to defent patient and see what happens. But personally i think this tactic weakeness can be defending inside izolation or any other inside oriented tactic. Since sf and pf and especially c usually have very low OD, so they can hardly close pasing lanes. This migt lead to eazy assisted shots. But against outside attacs its a beast, atleast in my league

I have had luck vs the Look Inside offenses in my division with Inside Box and One. These same teams beat me soundly when I played Man 2 Man against them.
