Installing the Princeton Offense Known as one of the top Princeton offense coaches in the nation, Delta State’s Mike Neinaber teaches you the ins and outs of the offense in this video. Neinaber spent 20 seasons at Christian Brothers University in Memphis where he won two Gulf South Conference titles, made five trips to the NCAA Division II tournament, and took his 2009 team to the Elite Eight. One of the biggest reasons for his teams’ successes has been the Princeton offense. The presentation begins with a demonstration of the warmup that prepares players for every scoring angle and option within the offense. The warmup includes full speed, game-like layups that simulate the backdoor cuts within the Princeton offense. Coach Neinaber explains the Four-Minute Drill which prepares players for the array of 3-point shots that the Princeton offense offers. Next are the Five-Up drills which put players through the essential moves used within the Princeton offense: backdoor cuts, dribble handoffs, and back screens. In each drill, players learn to read defenders and create scoring opportunities out of a back cut, post move, or screening action. Once players have mastered every option, Coach Neinaber moves into a 5-on-5 four-minute drill to show you how the offense will look. Players run through the offense in a full-court setting and Neinaber explains each move, screen, and set as it happens on the floor so you know what it should look like in a game situation. With an understanding of how the offense looks in a 5-on-5 setting, Coach Neinaber uses 5-on-0 demonstrations to show you each teaching progression. He goes through five different looks in the offense – Low, Five Up, Elbow, High, and Chin. Each look has at least three different scoring options and can easily flow into another set. Coach Neinaber explains each set and motion then runs through the motion with the team on the floor. He slows the pace enough so you can understand where the scoring options should occur and how to teach them to your players. This presentation is outstanding. Coach Neinaber takes a complex offensive system and breaks it down into steps that are easy to understand and install. Coaches looking for an offensive system that keeps defenses guessing can turn to Coach Neinaber for the Princeton offense.

Chris Mooney shows how to organize a practice that includes drills for improving team shooting, passing and ball handling skills. This video is ideal for coaches who want to improve their team's skills but have limited time to do individual drills. Coach Mooney starts with a quick warm-up that involves full-court dribble moves and lay-ups, as well as star passing. Mooney's version of the star-passing drill emphasizes spacing and hard cuts. He also encourages catches and catches, as players engage in bounce, over-head and chest passes. Mooney guides players through pass-and-cut lay-ups as well as driving lay-ups. Next, Coach Mooney demonstrates the three-line running drill. This requires total concentration as players sprint up and down the court to pass, catch, and score. Mooney continues the skill work with two additional shooting drills. Standing still 3's require players to shoot from specific spots on the floor while standing still. Mooney sets an 80-point goal in his 2-line shooting drills. These drills require three basketballs and two lines of players. Shots are taken from different locations on the floor. Mooney ends the video with 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 drills. These require players to create screens, slip screens, and communicate while they are not moving. Coach Mooney is a disciple of Princeton Offense and was a four-year starter under Hall of Fame coach Pete Carril at Princeton.

Princeton Offense 2.0: Reads, Counters, Set Plays Coach Lee DeForest has coached the Princeton offense at every level, from high school to Division I, with great success. In this video, Coach DeForest breaks the Princeton offense down into reads and counters. Reads are player-controlled and counters are coach-controlled. With this idea in mind, Coach DeForest provides whiteboard diagrams and then teaches these concepts on the court in a 5-on-0 setting. You will also see how modern day sets like Horns, Sixers, and Spread can be used in the offense just like the old schools sets like Chin, Circle, and Point. Initial Princeton Set The Princeton offense is perfect for today’s game as it features four interchangeable guard spots. Coach DeForest goes through the initial set up of the offense and then guides you through simple reads and counters that every team that runs the offense should know. Point Series The Point Series consists of six plays that you can run to counter a defensive strategy or exploit a certain weakness found in scouting an opponent. Snap Back is a play that creates a high-low opportunity for one of your perimeter players. Other plays free up shooters off of double screens, flare screens, and dribble handoffs. Low Series As it sounds, the Low Series features two plays that work off of post feeds by using screening actions to find openings for your perimeter players. Wheel is a counter used when the post feed is denied by using backdoor cuts and flare screens. Circle Series Vary your attack on the defense with five plays in the Circle Series. To get the ball to your best player in crunch time, use Circle Floppy. Fist Entry allows you to change up how you initiate the play against an aggressive denial defense. Use quick hitters that sent shooters off of flare or double screens. The Circle Series has something that you can install with your team right away. Chin Series When playing aggressive defenses that deny your initial passing options, the Chin Series gives you two options to counter. Coach DeForest shows you three different ways to counter defenses that sag versus back screens in the Chin Series. He also offers two more ways to exploit a defense that tries to switch on screens. Coach DeForest gives you all you need to install an updated and improved Princeton offense. Rent this Princeton Offense DVD today.

In this video, Coach Nick Pasqua shows how he created a motion offense that incorporates the principles of modern, positionless basketball. He calls this offense the "European Hybrid Princeton Offense" and it's a combination of popular offenses like European Ball-Screen Offense, Motion Offense, the Princeton Offense and even Dribble-Drive Offense concepts. The coach starts by explaining the offense in a detailed manner using diagrams and easy-to-follow explanations. He covers the initial alignment, designated spots, player responsibilities, player reads, and the terminology used in the offense. He also shows how the offense incorporates various actions, movements and responsibilities of each player positioned in each half of the court. He also goes over the benefits of the offense and how it makes the team virtually un-scoutable to upcoming opponents. He also covers counter actions and how the offense can be used against a zone defense. The second half of the video is a practice-like setting, where Coach Pasqua demonstrates the offense with his players in a 5-on-0 setting, quick-hitting actions, and 3-on-0 shooting drills that fit the offense. He also covers different baseline or sideline out-of-bounds plays that flow into the offense, and a 4-on-0 drill that improves dribble drive reads within this offense. Finally, Coach Pasqua offers game clips of the offense in action against in-season opponents, with each clip narrated by him, describing each play, including what they were looking for and how they wanted to attack the defense. This video is a comprehensive guide to learning and implementing the European Hybrid Princeton Offense. It's a unique blend of different offenses that makes it simple enough to break down for high-school level players. Coach Pasqua does a great job of explaining everything in detail and providing a lot of valuable information for coaches to improve their team's offense.

Tara VanDerveer, a highly accomplished coach with over 35 years of experience leading the Stanford basketball team, shares her knowledge and expertise on coaching basketball in this video presentation. She has a proven track record, having won three National Championships and coached USA Basketball to a Gold Medal, among many other accomplishments. In the video, Coach VanDerveer explains how she has adapted her team's style of play by implementing a 4-out positionless system that incorporates their version of the Princeton Offense (Jersey). She demonstrates how to create multiple scoring options by using a 4-out basic alignment, in which four guards line the perimeter with 8-12 feet in spacing, allowing for easy cutting action and feeding the post. By using this system, guards can back cut, cut over the top, flatten out, or exchange places, keeping the defense on their toes. She also uses a whiteboard session to diagram the actions and movements used to teach the Princeton Offense to her players. One of Stanford's favorite actions is their Blue Screen, in which the post player sets a ball screen on the best wing player and then follows up with a pin down screen on the wing after the ball is reversed. This action is tough to guard and creates a great scoring opportunity for the most athletic wing. They also run a simple Red Screen (wing pick & roll) that is created off of cutting action and the post player feeding the wing on a kick out. Coach VanDerveer's drills are centered around layups and quality shots within the offense, with an emphasis on getting the best possible shot. Playing positionless basketball allows players to have fun playing in different spots. In Pinch Post Shots, players feed the high post and work on their cutting action to simulate a screen, then come off of a screen for a shot. In Finishing Drill, athletes work on driving down the lane line and making various moves to get to the rim and finish through contact. In Buddy Layups, players work on swinging the ball around the perimeter and running actions they will use in their half-court offense, such as a backdoor cut for a layup and dribble hand-offs. The video ends with VanDerveer taking the viewer through live game film, helping players understand how to run great movements and actions against any defense. This video is 97 minutes long and was released in 2021.

Jeff Horner takes the classic Princeton Chin Offense and modernizes it for today's game of basketball, where a shot clock and the 3-point line are prominent. The head coach at Truman State explains that the success he's had running this version of the Chin Offense is due to the way it involves everyone on the court and the potential scoring options for various players at any given time. The offense is also flexible and can be modified to adjust to changes in defensive tactics. In this highly informative on-the-court instructional clinic, all sets are demonstrated using 5-on-5 offense vs defense. Horner begins by showing the base set in the Chin Offense, where he demonstrates initial positioning and player responsibilities and roles within the offense. This leads to a good transition into the use of dribble hands offs (DHOs) to initiate the actions and the various types of screens that can be used, as well as when the continuity occurs, moments to look for in the high-low action and the best positions on the floor for bigs to post up. With Chin Pressures, Horner highlights how to tweak and adjust the offense when the opposing defense adapts and tries to take away DHOs. He also takes time to point out how the Chin Offense is especially tough to stop when you have a perimeter player who can really play and how to effectively use drag screens involving big-to-guard actions to free up additional scoring opportunities. In Chin Doubles, Horner shows how this option has been extremely successful in getting good, open looks on the perimeter – using staggered screens, and follows it up by covering how to quickly transition back into the Chin set and the best ways to incorporate high-low actions from this look. Horner then covers a detailed overview on how to surprise defenses by getting effective quick hitters out of sets that initially look like the Chin is being run. Quick hitters covered here include ‘Early’ – which is designed to get a shot within 5 seconds and features a corner 3 coming off a double-staggered screen.‘Early Back’ is a quick hitting option you can implement when defenses begin to cheat on ‘Early’ – featuring a 3-point opportunity on the same side that the ball is entered to initiate the offense. ‘Early Cross’ is an effective quick hitter that utilizes a cross-post screen and is designed to get your big the ball near the basket for a high-percentage, quick-hitting shot opportunity. Horner's version of the Chin Offense is a great fit for any level of basketball. Coaches who appreciate and understand just how effective and tough-to-guard different

Winning with a Hybrid Princeton Offense Former Williams College and Marist University head coach Mike Maker was very successful using a hybrid style Princeton offense. His Williams teams made four appearances in the NCAA Division III Elite Eight, three in the Final Four, and finished as the runner-up twice. In this video, Coach Maker shares his offensive philosophy and his strategies for attacking man-to-man defense. His ideas are built around the old Princeton offense. After discussing philosophy, Coach Maker goes into detail on the use of pivots, reverse pivots, and passing the basketball. The on-court demonstration continues with a “20-on-2” Shooting drill that forces players to score in a timed situation. The offense is taught in 3-on-0 and 4-on-0 situations and finally tying everything together in a 5-on-0 setting. All of the basic fundamentals are put into play here. His Princeton style offense emphasizes quick slips, ball screens, pick and pops, post ups, and back cuts. In addition, Coach Maker shows you how you can use two good post players in this system. He does go into some defense and how he develops it, but the primary concepts in the video are on developing the offense. Coaches looking to enhance their man-to-man offense can benefit from the tips offered by Coach Maker on screening and cutting. It’s an excellent presentation of how a modern offense can use old school ideas to succeed.
