This is for Eddie, any of his students or for anyone else that has covered this before. I saw this counter to the Old School Sweep on Youtube:

Ive been working this swwep from Eddie's book and DVDs. What should I do to Recounter this sweep and neck crank counter? What could I do to help keep from even getting swept back in the first place? Is the answer to just keep a tighter lockdown and execute the old school sweep slower while trying to have no space between my neck and shoulder? Thanks guys!
Try grabbing his foot to do the sweep, not the shin, and keep your elbow tight to your side. Should stop him getting the underhook.
Thanks
gusto - that video sucks
Thats the same defense Eddie himself taught me last I seen him.
It works, although it is certainly easier if your foot is not tied up and you can use your butterfly hook to help elevate him. Eddie taught that at the seminar he did at our gym.
Mike and BJJ060382, what did Eddie tell you to do to counter thier attempt to sweep and neck crank you? Is it what BaldTony advised?
TiTTy!
the 100% is one of my favorite reversals from many different pozish
Wow… Looking at the post counts you guys got has given me post size envy. Here is one more to make me feel better about my “nice” post count :(
He didn't really say how to counter it but if you stay really tight you deny the person the opportunity to secure the necessary underhook.
