This course is the live presentation by Guy Shavers at the Coaches Clinic Basketball Summit in 2020.

During this presentation, Guy is going to teach you his Modified Amoeba Matchup Zone Defense, called CLEAR. Guy will teach you the defensive strategies and tactics that have led his teams to success.

He dives into concepts like defensive recovery as well being aggressive and offensive like on the defensive end.

Coach Shavers covers different aspects of the Amoeba Matchup Zone Defense and the different ways you can apply it to your program.

The originator of the Amoeba Defense was late coach Jerry Tarkanian (990-228 career coaching record) at UNLV some years ago. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski once said of Tarkanian, "Jerry had consistent high levels of success because his teams played hard defensively. He's one of the truly remarkable defensive coaches."
