Breaking the Press (19)

Sean Miller: Beating Pressure Defenses If you find your team gets overwhelmed by pressure defenses, Arizona head coach Sean Miller has the answers for you. Miller, a three-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year at Arizona, provides everything you need to know to go toe-to-toe with the best pressure defenses around. With footage from two different clinics, Coach Miller shares with you how to aggressively attack any pressure defense. Creating Space One thing that will help defeat pressure is creating space. Coach Miller shows you how your players can create space by changing speeds, using body contact, using glide dribbling, and more. You also see how to change directions to get the ball in bounds, open up the floor, and create offense. Miller demonstrates the Big-X Passing Drill which simulates a half-court trapping defense. Players learn to deal with the chaos of a half-court trap and how to defeat it using simple rules. Full-Court Inbounds Situations Coach Miller takes you through full-court pressure situations and shows you how to get the ball inbounds. He reviews when you can run the baseline and when you cannot. Each situation offers three different outlets to get the ball up the floor – sideline, middle, and crack back. The aggressiveness of Miller’s press attack forces indecision on the part of the defense. The press offense that Miller presents is effective against a 1-2-1-1 or a 2-2-1. You’ll get the ball inbounds quickly, advance up the floor, and get into your offense. Coach Miller also goes over an end-of-game situation when you need to go the length of the floor and score. Attacking Pressure Zones What you do not want to do against extended zone pressure is over-dribble. Coach Miller reviews “Ping passing” which prevents this. You will see the “Logo” set where the offense moves the ball from side to side looking to get to the middle of the floor and force the defense to decide. Miller also introduces the Flood concept which results in open three-point attempts and layups. If you are looking for ways to attack full-court pressure or trapping defenses, this is the DVD you should have in your collection. Rent this beating pressure defenses DVD today.

Press Break & Strategies for Beating Zone Defense  Brian Giorgis has had a ton of success as the head women’s basketball coach at Marist College. Part of that success comes from knowing how to win and how to handle pressure. Despite facing much more athletic teams, Marist has twice led the country in fewest turnovers committed. In this video, Coach Giorgis covers how his teams handle pressure defense. He demonstrates how his teams beat a diamond, 1-2-2, 2-2-1, 1-3-1, and 2-1-2 full-court presses. Press Break Roles and Responsibilities Coach Giorgis begins by reviewing each player’s role and responsibility within the press attack. The press break uses a 1-4 set up, something Giorgis calls regular. The purpose of the 1-4 alignment is to create mismatches in the open court and advantage situations once you get past half-court. Against the diamond for example, Coach Giorgis shows you how to get the ball to the wing, point guard, or post player and still confidently attack the press every time down the floor. Press Breaks From the same setup, Coach Giorgis demonstrates how to attack the various presses. The key is to distort the middle defender once the ball has entered play. Players learn to read ball reversals and skip passes, which can help create mismatches. All guards must know what to do with the ball once it crosses half-court. Picking up the ball just past half-court is a no-no for Coach Giorgis. Here is how he attacks each press. Diamond Press: Using the same 1-4 alignment, Coach Giorgis explains the reads, rotations, and replacing movements as well as the use of the short and long corner. Giorgis also shows you how to get your point guard to the middle of the floor. 1-2-2 Press: The key to beating this press is to distort the back end of the zone. Giorgis shows you certain actions that do so and leave the defense exposed at the rim. 2-1-2 Press: You will witness how you deal with the middle trapper to easily defeat this press. 1-3-1 Press: After the ball is inbounded, Giorgis shows you how his team takes a 2-1-2 shape to attack the back end of this press. You will see how important it is to draw the baseline defender away from the rim. Man-to-Man Press: The key here is whether or not the inbounder is being defended or if the defense has a floater. Giorgis shows you how to create speed mismatches and use screens to get certain players the ball. Once your team has mastered the 1-4 set, Coach Giorgis gives you some options for when opponents make adjustments. Each option offers counters to different pressures. Coach Giorgis has mastered the press break and offers a solution for teams that face increased pressure on any given night. Rent this press break DVD today.

Beating Full Court Pressure and Matchup Zone Defense Former NCAA mentor Dave Odom registered over 400 career wins as the head coach at Wake Forest and South Carolina. He took his teams to nine NCAA tournament appearances and won three NIT championships. A three-time ACC Coach of the Year, Odom shares an aggressive offensive attack to counter defensive pressure in this video. In addition, he demonstrates how to counter the matchup zone that has stymied teams at the college level recently. You will see how to use counter action and baseline screens and cutters to put a defense on its heels. Attacking Full-Court Pressure  The first part of Coach Odom’s presentation deals with handling full-court pressure defenses. You will see a number of drills that build upon one another to help your players get the ball up the floor safely. With an emphasis on seeing the entire floor, Coach Odom shows you how to easily dissect any full-court press. Coach Odom showcases two different press breaks that can also be used an aggressive offensive attack depending upon the type of pressure. Each press break allows for at least three good passing options open at all times and emphasizes ball movement via the pass instead of the dribble. Countering the Matchup Zone The final segment of the Coach Odom’s presentation is dedicated to his matchup zone offense. Coach Odom offers a variety of tips for beating the matchup zone including the use of misdirection and false action. The use of both can confuse the defense and force it out of position. Using baseline screens and cutters, the matchup zone defense is forced to make a choice between leaving the low post open or leaving an open shooter. Another option is shown where the offense flows into an overload situation. The offense can use this advantage in the post to overpower the defense. Coach Odom provides a number of outstanding strategies for alleviating pressure defense. Add his presentation to your collection and reap the benefits it brings to your program!

It doesn’t matter what the defense throws at you; it can be defeated with intelligent spacing and quick ball reversals. Quality Shot Selection One of the most crucial aspects of winning comes down to the quality of the shots your team takes. Bad shot selection can be a cancer causing selfishness and, ultimately, ruin an offense. Coach Auriemma explains proper shot selection and gives you two basic rules. These rules create accountability without causing players to hesitate when in game situations. There is a balance between being aggressive and understanding your role. Auriemma helps players find that balance. Offense vs. Zone Defense Coach Auriemma shows you how to use dribble entries to attack a 2-3 zone.

His teams have won three Atlantic Sun championships (2015, 2016, 2020) and Driscoll was named conference Coach of the Year in each of those three seasons. In this video, Coach Driscoll offers a variety of drills to speed up your offense. Warm Up One of the other key parts of this video is Driscoll’s press break. The Ospreys actually warm up with two drills that work on breaking a press. The Scrape Drill is done without a defense and works on making certain reads. The second drill is a two-guard press break that focuses on making quick decisions when the first option of the press break is taken away. You will also see a shooting drill that works on jump shots from different angles and three-pointers in the Red Zone shooting drill. Players get a ton of shots as they prepare for practice. Practice The heat turns up as players go 1-on-1 in the next part of practice. The Four-Second drill starts with a ball on a chair at the top of the key. On the whistle, an offensive player grabs the ball, reverse pivots, and the live 1-on-1 begins. Next are a series of 3-on-0 and 3-on-3 drills that focus on transition offense. Laker 3-on-0 and Heat 3-on-3 work on passing, catching, and finishing at full speed. Full Court Build Up gets players moving as they go from 2-on-1 to 5-on-5. The Rinse Drill works on different press and trap scenarios. These are great drills for working on the transition offense as well as transition defense. If you are looking to speed up your offense and style of play, Coach Driscoll is one of the most knowledgeable college coaches in the country. His live practice examples and guidance can help any coach instill intensity and an up-tempo style of play.

Pressure defense is about aggression and allowing your team's to go after their opponents by extending the court or in half court. These drills provide a solid foundation for this type of defensive play. They also teach you how to "fake it a pass to make one," create deflections and offensive spacing, and rebound with "tag and pursue", a variation of the block out and swim and spin. Inbounding the basketball is the next phase of this DVD. Players demonstrate different options and methods for getting the ball in the clinic setting. Face guarding is the art of "walking to and from the baseline" in order to pass the ball over the top. These techniques are demonstrated in a 5-on-5 team setting. "Four," an attack on full court pressure, ensures safe possession against the media. A powerful offensive attack against pressure is the half court 5-on-5 blitz "flash". 73 minutes. 2008.
