Barry Hecker has been teaching the college, NBA players and the youth how to shoot basketball for 40 years now. The video features an on court presentation, the shooting progression workout developed by Coach Hecker is very effective and every talented and goal orientated player show practice that daily. In his shooting progression he breaks down the some of the useful aspects of shooting like the fundamentals of shooting, different shooting drills and also shares one of the most underrated and forgotten weapons of Basketball. So, how the Coach Hecker starts with the basic rules of good shooting: balance. This method sounds really easy but when it comes to performing it with perfection almost every other player fails at this. So how do you perfect your balance? Well, it all starts with a footwork that allows the player to square up to the basket and then jump straight up. The other part of making your balance good is getting the feet in the right position. A lot of amazing balancing techniques have been introduced by Coach Hecker to improve balance, including jump stops and reverse and forward pivots. One more thing he focuses more on is keeping the butt low and the head up while working on these skills. Some Forgotten Techniques Finding the seams of the ball is one of shooting mystery that so many players seem to forget. The proper rotation comes when the players place the fingers on the same spot when they catch the ball. Coach Hecker also explains the proper shooting form. He uses five pound dumbbell, this helps to solve three main shooting problems. For the perfection of jump shots Coach Hecker uses simple drills and teaching points that will make your players understand everything pretty quickly. There are so many benefits of these drills like it brings consistency to your shot making and balance. Coach Hecker also shares interesting ways to help players learn how to better shoot the ball. One of his best is the "get it up drill." He uses a hula-hoop to teach shooters how to avoid a flat shot by creating a better arc on the ball. The Underrated Hook Shot The other forgotten method is the hook shot and Coach Hecker also gives huge importance to that as well. This technique is very rare but still it has its importance and it is nearly impossible to defend. The proper technique can be developed by following the shooting drills. He then gets his players on the court to work the shot around the rim and while attacking the rim.

Steve Pikiell: Creative Play Calling For the coach that is currently in or taking over a program that struggles, this video from Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell can help you become more competitive. Pikiell was the first player for legendary UConn head coach Jim Calhoun to become a Division I head coach when he took over at Stony Brook in 2005. Pikiell slowly rebuilt the program into an America East Conference power. He shows you how to get more with less and adds in some set plays and inbounds plays that you can use in your programs. The Importance of Vocabulary and Communication Successful teams are the ones that are able to communicate in a quick, efficient manner. Coach Pikiell shows you how to develop such a system to make sure you and your players are on the same page. One of the big reasons for a simple communication system is to package plays. Pikiell’s teams have been able to create lots of scoring opportunities by utilizing communication in the Wide series. In this series, Pikiell uses a variety of screens and other actions to get all of his players involved. Ultimately, Coach Pikiell takes advantage of his players’ best skills and uses them to the team’s advantage. Communication helps in doing so. Developing an Identity One of the big steps in rebuilding a program is the developing of an identity. Since there is no single identity that is “best,” Pikiell gives some ideas as to how one might go about developing an identity and coming up with at least one thing a team “can hang its hat on.” One of the ideas is the use of the 1-3-1 zone defense. Pikiell presents the 1-3-1 and using it as a half-court trap to take advantage of a team’s personnel. Another idea is the use of the 2-2-1 press and adjusting it to fit different levels of talent. Pikiell discusses the idea of “no middle, no layup, good defense” as something a team could hang its hat on. Getting Victories with Inbounds Plays Pikiell believes you can build confidence in a program and one of the ways to do so is through inbounds plays. In this segment, Coach Pikiell presents a number of inbounds plays from a box alignment and then goes into a few more from the double-stack alignment. He even shows you how to take advantage of a “screen magnet” and free up a player under the basket for an easy basket. With experience in rebuilding programs, Pikiell stresses the idea of building a system that suits your personnel. Keep things simple and design a system that can adapt and adjust depending upon personnel and situation.

You can see ready-to-install, highly efficient quick-hitters that will help you pick the best player and post player from your hammer set. Your opponents will feel a lot more pressure if you score early in your offense. Simple actions can be taken to open up your best player, especially in transition. This creates separation which leads to high-percentage baskets. These are the priorities Kelvin Sampson, University of Houston's head men's coach, tries to instill in his offensive systems every time he goes down the court. Sampson discusses some of his most effective offensive strategies. He also offers several difficult-to-defend early actions the Cougars used to generate one the best offenses. This video includes an overview of how teams defend pick-and-rolls and creative ways to create spacing within half-court sets. Defending Pick-And-Rolls and Creating Space Offensively Sampson explains how pick-and-roll defenses are handled by most teams and how his time as a coach in the NBA has influenced the way he wants his college teams. The Cougars coach shows how to influence a ball handler's weak hand in a 5-on-5 court setting and where rotations and defensive help would be most effective. He offers guidance on defensive terminology, and explains how to keep defenses consistent with ball-screen coverages. This informative explanation about defending pick-and roll actions is a great transition to a fantastic session on spacing on offense. Sampson explains why spacing matters offensively and how to get players to grasp the concept. Sampson demonstrates how to space players in half-court.

Sampson shows a secondary pindown action to get the ball to the post players. This puts heavy pressure on the defense and forces them to stop at the rim. Sampson shows you a 4-out, 1-in set play that creates space and uses positioning and movements to make sure your actions don't result in a quick bucket. One example shows viewers that interchanging guards on one side of the floor keeps the help-side defenses in motion and allows offenses access to the other side. In this informative, fast-paced clinic video, Sampson takes viewers on an offensive thrill drive. These on-court sessions demonstrate quick hitters and early actions that are difficult to defend, but easy to teach. These flexible offenses can be added to your half-court offense playbook, which allows you to catch defenses while they are asleep and gives you more easy buckets. 79 minutes. 2022.

The difference between the best and the worst teams in today's game is the ability to adjust on the fly. It's interesting that in today's game, teams that dominate transition offense are often unable to adapt in the half-court against strong defenses. Paul Hewitt, a long-standing NBA G-League coach and successful college coach, demonstrates how you can create a dominant transition offense. Hewitt also explains how your players can increase their offensive confidence by teaching them how to make seamless adjustments to half-court defenses that limit your options for transition. You'll learn how to teach your players to execute the play-after the-play, which Coach Hewitt calls "the play-after the-play". This will allow you to take your offense to the next level. Your team will be efficient and high-scoring and can quickly score high-percentage shots. Transition Offense and Transition Spacing On-the-court demonstration: Coach Hewitt quickly demonstrates his extensive knowledge of transition offense. He emphasizes how winning transition's first three steps allows your players many scoring opportunities. He also demonstrates how good transition offenses put pressure on defenses right from the moment they take the ball off of the glass. Coach Hewitt walks you through a series drills to help you teach attacking skills. He also shows you how this leads into lessons about transition spacing on the half court. The 'Fastbreak Layups Drill teaches players how to push the ball forward and run as fast to score easy buckets. The '2-on-2 Passing Perfection Drill' teaches players how to pass and catch, as well as many repetitions of different finishes at the rim. This drill is a great twist on a well-known one that everyone uses to practice transition. Instead of one player dribbling across the floor, you have two players who are working to pass ahead. Each coach has their own preferences about how their teams should set up offensively when they are on the floor. In a valuable segment about transition spacing, Coach Hewitt describes the five spots he sets up for his teams as they move down the court on offense. The goal is to stretch the defense and create opportunities for layups. Coach Hewitt shows you how to create gaps in defense by placing players in each corner, just off the slot and using a rim-runner. Hewitt demonstrates great examples of transition spacing with his 5-on-5 players. Flow Action and The Play After The Play Next Coach Hewitt will give you an overview of what to do if your primary scoring options have been eliminated and your transition offense has been stopped. This is the idea of "the play after" - actions that can make your offense appear unstoppable. Hewitt will show you how to make your half-court offense seem uncoutable by following simple rules such as 'how paint touches are created,' changing sides of the floor and 'using step up screens,' and 'using pin down screens. Your post player will be taught how to create as many 2-on-1 screening opportunities as you need. This will allow for a multitude of mismatches as well as downhill driving opportunities. Hewitt concludes his lesson with his top techniques to teach the most common half-court action most NBA teams use today - The Flow Series. In demonstrating the Flow Series, Coach Hewitt shows how your players can learn to create driving opportunities and work to incorporate the aforementioned 'play-after-the-play' concepts into this attack. The coach starts with a 5-on-0 set-up and then moves through the most important Flow Series concepts. He also demonstrates how to use actions and reads to help your players understand the concepts. This builds up to a live 5-on-5 offense. This video is a must-see and provides a great learning opportunity from one the most accomplished coaches in basketball. Coach Hewitt provided a Master Class on how to build your transition offense. Hewitt also emphasized the importance of pushing your players to play smart and fast, and encouraging them to score easy baskets. Hewitt also teaches you how your players can create offensive opportunities whenever a play is stopped or breaks down.

Cutters Zone Offense The trend in modern basketball is to spread the floor and beat zone defenses with skilled players that can shoot. UMBC head coach Ryan Odom has proven his teams can beat anybody when his team became the first No. 16 seed in the NCAA tournament to beat a No. 1 in 2018. Odom led UMBC to a 25-11 overall record including an America East Conference Tournament title and a victory over Virginia in the opening round of the 2018 NCAA tournament. In this video, Odom shows you how to develop a zone offense that uses more skilled players to create opportunities with weak side flashes, drive and kicks, and natural overloads. Whether you want to capitalize on a number of skilled players or simply don’t have any size inside, Coach Odom shows you how to carve up a zone defense. Cutters Offense Coach Odom’s zone offense is extremely versatile and even when using extra shooters in the lineup it allows teams to play inside-out through ball and player movement. You will see how you can attack the rim using overloads, shifting the post player to open up logo touches, and dribble penetration. There are also ways to vary the attack by allowing the post player and the baseline runner some freedom. This can help distort and overwhelm a zone defense resulting in drives, jump shots, and post feeds. You can even use screens to pin down defenders. 1-3-1 Offense Using a more traditional zone look, Coach Odom shows you how perimeter players can penetrate the defense. This is huge especially for teams that try to play a non-shooting guard against a zone. Coach Odom will also show you how to use ball screens to open up driving lanes. This can serve to collapse a defense and open up perimeter shots. Additional Strategies In addition, Coach Odom offers up a few set plays to use in transition and in short clock situations. You will see how to attack a zone defense using the popular Horns set or the “Angie” ball screen as the clock winds down. There is also a segment on flowing into the zone offense using actions primarily seen in the Blocker-Mover offense. These can create early scoring opportunities. Coach Odom’s presentation is perfect for any coach looking to modernize the zone offense attack. Rent this zone offense DVD today.

Cutthroat 4-on-4 Drills & Variations The Cutthroat Drill has become a staple in NBA and FIBA practices. While primarily a defensive drill, Nike scout and International Basketball Consultant Terry Layton offers a different take on Cutthroat using it as the cornerstone of his approach to coaching the sport. Layton has over 300 wins as a high school, junior college, and college coach in the U.S. as well as 300-plus wins coaching at the international level. In this video, Layton shows you how he has taken the defensive-minded Cutthroat Drill and used it to maximize practice time by using it to work on offensive concepts as well. Cutthroat Drill – The Set Up The traditional Cutthroat drill was derived from the basic Shell Drill and has been used primarily to develop sound team defenses. Layton prefers to get the most out of the drill by teach offensive concepts as well. In preparing for Cutthroat, Layton teaches varying formations starting with the basic 2-2 as well a 1-2-1 alignment that many prefer. Offensive Concepts Layton works on offensive concepts such as cutting, creating movement, passing, and communication as part of the Cutthroat Drill. Players drill simple actions like stepping toward a pass in this live-action situation. This version of Cutthroat is much livelier and the fast pace prepares players for game situations. Defensive Basics With improved offensive play, the Cutthroat Drill becomes even more of a challenge for the defense. Layton will teach players the basics of defense including proper closeout technique. He will use the four-line closeout drill where he teaches players to close out with their feet parallel and pointed at the ball. This creates a wall that prevents dribble penetration. With a solid understanding of closeouts, Layton introduces live 4-on-4. The drill begins with a pass to a perimeter player. The defense then touches hands before closing out to defend while the offense begins to attack the defense. Keeping Everyone Involved In an effort to avoid players standing around while the drill is in progress, Layton uses a number of ways to keep everyone active and engaged. Coach Layton likes to have at least 75 percent of his players active at all times. Some of the ways to do so are to have players work on conditioning or on passing fundamentals. Coach Layton’s take on Cutthroat is what every coach should want from his practices: a competitive environment where players are actively engaged and improving their skills. This 67-minute video will have a lasting impact on how you approach practice daily.

Transition Offense and Set Plays Former Grand Canyon University head coach Dan Majerle drew on his experience in the NBA to develop an offensive system that can work at any level. In this video, you will see over 30 plays that Majerle used to score quickly in transition or in the half-court offense. You will learn how to space the floor properly in an effort to get quality scoring opportunities from all over the court. Transition on Misses Majerle demonstrates four plays to show you how to score in transition off of a missed shot. You’ll see multiple pick and rolls with incredible floor spacing using the “Drag” option. This can also be used in the “21/31” play where ball screens are used with your other guards. “22/32” uses off-ball screens to pressure on the rim with cutters. “Push” creates confusion for the defense with handoffs and screening actions plus the weak side hammer screen option. You will also see how to create a mismatch with a bigger guard versus defenses that try to switch on all their screens. Transition on Makes Majerle shows you 10 additional plays off of made baskets. Both “Oklahoma” and “Oklahoma Touch” use a double drag screen with secondary screening actions to free up a post that can shoot from outside. The Rub series has three plays that create scoring opportunities with a quick screen away for a trailing big man. Each play in the series delivers a nice variation to the main ball screen. “Cut” is a great way to get the ball inside using a screen-the-screener action. “Open” really confuses defenses with simultaneous cutting and dribble-handoff actions. The “Chin” series gives you clean layups off back screens. Half-Court Sets Coach Majerle shows you 18 different plays to run in the half-court offense via his “Floppy” and “Loop” series. There are 10 plays initiated from floppy action that create high-low post feeds, off-ball screens to open shooters, and much more. You will see how you can align against teams that like to front the post player. Loop creates guard movement from a 1-4 high set to get defenders chasing before they get slammed with a ball screen or other action. Loop can set up a lob pass to your guards, open up perimeter shots, and more. In this video, you will see a large portion of Coach Majerle’s playbook. It’s a playbook that helped him transition the Grand Canyon program into Division I and one that produces plenty of scoring actions. Rent this transition offense DVD today.
