“Frankie v. High Pressure Man-to-Man Defense:

“Frankie v. High Pressure Man-to-Man Defense:

This clip is from my last year of coaching. It was during the lockdown, hence our gym being empty. We picked up a non-league game v. one of the best programs in extreme northwest Ohio. This team was very difficult to execute against. Offensively, they utilized 5-Man Motion & Defensively, they utilized 5-Man free switching defense. Hicksville’s defense was physical, ball-pressure oriented, & their switching made us make a ton of adjustments to our “Spread” Blocker/Mover offense.

This statement will age me…we referred to players who were over aggressive in the passing lanes (OPA) as “Frankies.” This came from the 80’s band named “Frankie Goes to Hollywood.” So, we’d tell our players Jimmy is their Frankie & he’s always looking to go to Hollywood (Pick-2).

This is a simple set, however, like all set plays, the play must be timed properly in order to be executed properly. Take our “Frankie” & play around with it & make it yours. The different ways to execute Frankie are innumerable.
