Bill Tierney, Head Men's Lacrosse
Coach, Princeton University. Coach
Bill Tierney has led Princeton to six
NCAA men's lacrosse championship
titles in his 16 years as head coach.
Now he shares his insights to
adjusting your defense to an
ever-changing offense. After winning a
national title, Princeton went on to
lead the nation in scoring defense,
scoring margin, and winning percentage
in 2002. Coach Tierney explains how to
create dozens of different defenses by
choosing any one of the five
outer-circle theories, combining it
with any inner-circle plan of action
and adjusting individual
responsibilities. He gives an
extensive marker board presentation
with pressure-filled defensive schemes
designed to confuse opposing offenses.
The advantages of Tierney's system is
it takes away the center of the field,
does not allow for easy shots, and
focuses on containment of the ball and
the offensive players. All of these
concepts, and the drills used to teach
them, combine to develop a strong,
cohesive team defense at any level. 41
minutes. 2004.
