Building a Defensive Culture On nights where they seemingly can’t hit a shot from anywhere, great teams still win because they play great defense. Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Larry Shyatt understands that defense can be the great equalizer and has proven so in his decades of coaching. In this video, Coach Shyatt presents a collection of ideas on how to build a defensive culture, including drills that help you do so. Team Culture You often hear coaches at all levels say that the key to winning championships is defense. Is that something you say or do you actually mean it? Coach Shyatt gives his Super 7 concepts for creating a defensive mindset and culture. Half-Court Defense Coach Shyatt guides you through the first steps of teaching a half-court defensive philosophy to your players at the beginning of a season. He uses ropes and the White Line philosophy to help players understand proper positioning on the floor. Coach Shyatt also shows you how you can extend this teaching to your full-court pressure defense. Warmup Drills How your team starts practice sets the tone for the entire session. If you really believe defense wins championships, they you need to start practice with warmup drills that emphasize it. Coach Shyatt demonstrates three drills the he uses on a daily basis to get players ready to play defense. Players work on breaking down ball screen defense with the ELC concept. Players work on their toughness in the Step Up drill where players help on dribble penetration and draw charges. Peer Pressure Drills When a game reaches a critical moment in a packed gymnasium, will your players hear you? Great teams are those who can communicate with each and hold each other accountable. Coach Shyatt introduces two peer pressure drills that force players to make layups and use full-court passing with perfect technique. Transition Defense For Coach Shyatt, this is the key to becoming a great defensive team. He stresses transition defense because it can eliminate some of the easiest scoring opportunities for opposing offenses. Coach Shyatt shows you three drills, two of which are the Tate’s Drill and the Circle Transition Drill. The Tate’s Drill teaches players to excel in the first six seconds of a possession by sprinting back on defense, building a wall, and getting matched up quickly. The Circle Transition Drill teaches players to load to the ball in transition. Coach Shyatt was part of championship programs at the University of Florida and the University of Wyoming. For any program looking to build a true defensive culture, Coach Shyatt’s video is a great place to start. Rent this Defensive Culture DVD today.

Man to Man Defense with Bruce Weber Coaches at the high school level often struggle with installing their defensive system and being ready by their first game of the season. Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber shows you how he deals with the same difficulties using shell drills that develop the team concept of the man to man defense. In today’s game, stopping dribble penetration is a team concept. Coach Weber addresses defensive rotations in addition to shutting down the various on- and off-ball screens that his teams face. Weber is one of the best minds in college basketball having won multiple conference championships with a number of teams. His 2005 Illinois team was the national runner-up and Weber was awarded the Naismith Coach of the Year award. Man to Man Defense Breakdown Drills In a lecture segment, Coach Weber outlines the most important concepts of his man-to-man defense. He starts with the basics like closeouts and positioning and builds upon those using the Shell drill. Concepts such as help defense, rotating off a drive and kick, and more are added as the system is learned. As his teams progress, Weber uses 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 Shell drills to ensure his players are getting into the right positions to help each other. Eventually, players work a 5-on-5 Shell drill where Weber can then teach various schemes and strategies to counter the most common actions his players will see during a season. Defenders learn to stop dribble penetration, help defense, and how to take away the next pass. Individual Build-Up Drills To build the shell defense, Coach Weber uses individual defensive segments where players work on maintaining proper position against ball and player movement. From 2-on-2 to 3-on-3, defending ball screens, and post defense; Coach Weber teaches every detail and technique his players need in order to become outstanding defenders. All of Weber’s drills have a winner and a loser to add competition and reinforce the idea that defense wins championships. Full Court Defensive Drills Coach Weber shows you a variety of full-court drills to build the pressure man-to-man defense. In the 4-on-4 full-court shell, players work to contain opponents in the open court and stunt. This slows down the offense and forces teams to give up the ball. Weber teaches a number of concepts including chasing cutters off pin down and flare screens, defending plays like Floppy, Horns, Screen-the-Screener, and much more. This is an outstanding man to man defense video for coaches looking to build their defensive system and do so quickly in time for a season opener. Rent this man to man defense DVD today.

Matt Painter: Building a Defensive Philosophy With the emphasis on offense these days, it’s hard to build a defensive mindset within a program. Purdue head coach Matt Painter shows you exactly how to do so in this video. It’s hard to sell athletes on playing defense, but building a defensive culture can be the thing that narrows the gap between lesser skilled teams and those with tons of offensive talent. Painter has been the Big Ten Coach of the Year four times and has won the conference championship three times. He has done so by building his program on tough, hard-nosed man-to-man defense. This video is not full of fancy drills. It is more about philosophy and how to build an effective defense. Building Your Defense Coach Painter describes the building of a defense from the ground up. He begins with some basics such as: How to use the safety and jammer positions in your press and transition defense How to be Early, Loud, and Continuous (ELC) on calling out screens The benefits of having both an open and closed defensive stance How to have compact help to have more effective movement on defense Transition Defense With three crashing the boards, Coach Painter shows you how his defense works in transition. The point guard jams the ball off the rebound or the made basket. The guards communicate early and deny the easy kick up slowing the ball in transition. This allows the defense to focus on defending in the half-court. Half-Court Defense Coach Painter believes establishing a half-court presence is a must. Shooters and non-shooters are identified so players know who they need to commit to right away. Painter uses a 3-on-3 shell drill early in practice and players must identify shooters and non-shooters. Doing the drill early sets the tone for the rest of practice. Help Defense Good defenses must have players that can rotate and help. Coach Painter reviews his idea of ‘Compact Help’ where players stop a drive and force a kick out. Players are taught to level the dribbler and not commit the foul. Ball Screen Defense Offenses use screening actions almost all the time against man-to-man defenses, so Painter uses a 4-on-4 Shell drill to teach how to defend a number of those screens. The idea is to prevent easy passes and force long skip passes. Defensive Closeouts The Spots drill helps defenders perform the closeout technique properly. Here you will see: What type of closeout to use based on a player’s shooting ability How to closeout to five different spots How to make sure your closeouts do not allow players to the middle of the floor  This is an excellent video for coaches looking to build a defensive culture in their program.

Forcing turnovers can increase scoring Double down to limit post scoring These drills will help you build your defense starting from the ground.
