When it comes to the practice 2, the coach Few will continue working on the defensive system. Most of the drills will be focusing on making the intensity of the on-ball pressure better.

Now for the last practice of the program the coach will focus on the building blocks of the offensive and defensive strategies. In order to read the ball screens in the best way possible the coach will make you go through new drills specifically for this purpose this will teach the players how to quickly dismantle defensive reactions. When the coach is done with working on the fundamentals, the next thing that the Bulldogs will work on will be off-ball screens and helping on drives.

Icing is a ball screen defense in the NBA that forces the ball handler, in a side pick and roll, towards the baseline and away from the middle. Gonzaga's Blue coverage is also introduced. Blue is a big-on-big double on the post and this is when the offense has two inside and three on the perimeter. The coach will also make you learn the art of trapping and rotation. The Bulldogs will be using a scoring system that will reward the defense in many ways and for that purpose the coach will be using the 4-on-4 shell drill. Rent this basketball practice DVD today.
