The Amoeba Defense is a basketball defense used to wear down an offense. It is a risky defense that mixes the man-to-man and zone defenses together. The defense is set up like a diamond.
The Amoeba defense was developed and used by coach Jerry Tarkanian (990-228 career coaching record) at UNLV some years ago.
What you are asking about may be Tarkanian's Amoeba defense. Be prepared for heavy ball pressure on your point guard.
