We implemented this defensive system in 2013 at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Louisville, Ohio and set the school record for defensive points allowed 3 separate times in 4 years. During our four seasons running this defense, we made it to the state championship game one time and to the regional level (final 16 or 8 teams in our division) the other three seasons.

"Coach Hack's Wolfpack Defense guide is a must read for coaches of all levels. This comprehensive guide to man to man details every aspect of team defense starting with transition defense through the rebound. Getting players to play "5 on a string" is a reality when you digest the concepts Coach Hack has presented in his guide. As a coach with 32 years experience, I have used many of the concepts in the Wolfpack Guide but now have a greater plan on how to implement a complete defensive system." -Tom McBride, Uniontown, Ohio (300+ career wins)

Highly recommend it to all coaches!" -Josh Verdes, Chapel Hill, NC
