As a former coach here is what we taught:
1) FOOT WORK. Your body follows your feet. They also provide a solid base so that you can't get pushed off the block so easily. A well placed foot can create enough space to get off a shot.
2) Echo the "Two Move" philosophy. IF you are down low, you need a shot you can get off and make consistently. Once the "D" catches on, switch to move #2 a few times. After that the "D" will be confused.
3) On defense, NEVER LEAVE YOUR FEET. When you leave your feet, bad things happen. If you are coming over to help and the offensive players is shooting over someone else, that is the only time to leave your feet to block a shot.
4) To get around on defense, it is like a dance Step Back, Step to the Side, Step in Front.
Hope that helps.
