Coleman Scott's Crackdown | Technique Tuesday
Dec 2, 2025
In this Technique Tuesday breakdown, Olympic bronze medalist and NCAA champion Coleman Scott walks through one of his favorite scoring positions—the crackdown. This is the exact sequence he used in the NCAA finals to score a first-period pin and win a national title. Coleman breaks down how to shoot to the outside, snake the leg, and hit his signature headhunt finish.
You’ll learn:
- Why Coleman shoots to the outside of the leg—not the inside
- Key details on positioning your shoulder, legs, and free arm in the crackdown
- His go-to finish from this position: the swim-to-head cradle
- How to shut down your opponent’s chest wrap
- Tips for consistently finishing high crotches from your offside
This is high-level technique from one of the best coaches in the country and a world-class leg attacker.
