Good Book for the 4-3 Defensive System

Overall this is a very good treatment of the basic 4-3 defense. It is definitely geared to high school or above but could be used by the lower level coach if the material was simplified. We are planning on switching to the 4-3 from a 5-2 at our high school and this book will be extensively used for the playbook.

Awesome lay out in implementing the 4-3

I have coached at the pee-wee(13-16 yrs) and at the high school level and have had very good success with the 4-4 and the 5-3. Recently I started coaching at the "semi-pro" level where we only practice twice a week. This book was awesome in assisting me to implement this defense. It's easy to follow but very in-depth. A must have for any one implementing a 4-3 def. program and a terrific guide and reference for a 4-3 already in place. Coach D.

Great at explaining the fundamentals of the 4-3

The strength of this book is its specificity toward the fundamentals required of each position in the 4-3 defense the way they ran it a Clovis High. There is not alot of variations given however, so if you want to show multiple fronts you may want to get another book in addition to this one.
