Read Full Court Press and Man-to-Man Presses The one thing that can disrupt even the best of basketball offenses is the full court press. Eric Flannery, long-time head coach at St. Edwards HS (OH), shows you two pressing defenses designed to control pace and, ultimately, the tempo of a game. Flannery has over 400 career wins and two Ohio Division 1 state championships. His success can be attributed to his read and man-to-man full court presses. Read Full Court Press The Read press really creates confusion for opponents. Initially, the defense is all about getting deflections. The defense strives to not allow the same entry twice. When the ball reverses, the press changes its look and becomes a 2-2-1. This drives opponents crazy as they try to decipher the press. Coach Flannery shows you how the defense can throw multiple options at an offense after the initial read. You will learn the rules of the Read press as well as the positioning for each player. The great thing about the Read press is that it allows for flexibility in press rotations. You can fit the press to your personnel to benefit the strengths of your team. L Cut Coach Flannery has a different idea about trapping the first pass. Most often, you see the trap come at an angle from the inbound pass. Flannery likes his players to go up the floor and come from the side. This cuts off the dribble to the middle of the floor. This L-cut is a great adjustment to prevent the ball from going to the middle of the floor. Man-to-Man Press The man-to-man press looks like a zone press. Flannery teaches you the rotations that make the press appear to be zone when in reality it is man. Coach Flannery guides you through the initial setup that an offense would likely use to break the press. Read Full Court Press Breakdown Drills To teach his style of disrupting defense, Flannery shows you a progression of breakdown drills. Each one builds a havoc mindset by focusing on forcing players to the sideline and containing an opponent’s best ball handlers. The Sprint and Turn Drill teaches players to turn and run taking an angle to cut off an offensive player. The drill works to help players focus on their defense rather than chasing the basketball. The drill eventually goes to 2-on-2 forcing defenders to communicate as they cut off the ball and force a trap. If you like to get up and down the floor, Coach Flannery’s pressure defenses are for you. They create confusion and force opponents to get out of their comfort zone. Your team is sure to love this style of play that gets everyone involved. Rent the Read Full Court Press DVD today.

Post and Perimeter Skill Development Drills Learn to develop your post and perimeter players from one of the best in the business – Louisville head coach Chris Mack. While the head coach at Xavier University, Mack repeatedly had to take less talented Division I players and transform them to compete in the super-tough Big East Conference. Mack took last year’s Xavier team to a Big East championship for which he was named the Big East’s Coach of the Year. In this video, you will see the exact drills that Mack uses to develop shooters and scorers both on the perimeter and in the post. Mack is big on putting players in game-like situations to develop consistency in their shots. Many of Mack’s drills that you see here force players to focus and shoot when they are tired. Post Player Drills Coach Mack starts with the post players. In almost all of Mack’s drills, there is an emphasis on the fatigue factor. This has been a cornerstone to Mack’s success, instituting fatigue into the most basic of shooting drills. The Make 50 Shots drill is not as easy as it sounds. Post players must hit 10 shots from five different spots on the floor. The kicker is they cannot miss two in a row or they must start over. With a time limit of five minutes, the drill can become both competitive and frustrating. Post players in these drills are forced to maintain good form staying technically correct while also maintaining their composure. Mack includes work on dunks and free throws, two shots that big men should take plenty of during games. Perimeter Player Drills The next segment of the video moves to the perimeter players. Coach Mack keeps these guys on the move most of the time as they are in game situations. One of the other keys to Mack’s player development drills is the level of competition. Some drills have athletes competing against each other. Some have players competing against a clock and yet others feature competition for team records. There are two great drills that you will see here. One is the Full Court Spring and the other is Shoot and Full Court Dribble and Shoot. Both drills force players to knock down shots when their legs are tired. These drills will elicit one of Mack’s favorite sayings, “get your legs under you.” These drills simulate real game action with a level of fatigue similar to playing in a game. This 51-minute video is essential to those looking to develop their post and perimeter players. You also get a ton of drills that can prepare your players for key situations late in games when fatigue sets in.

Quick Strike Fast Break Offense Want to control the tempo of a game? You don’t have to do it with defense. Augustana University head coach Tom Billeter believes in controlling tempo through his offense. Billeter has been successful in doing so having led Augustana to the NCAA Division II national championship in 2016. In this video, you will see how Coach Billeter implements his “pre-set” full-court offense that averaged over 90 points per game in 2016. Pre-Set Fast Break Offense Coach Billeter’s “pre-set” offense is really a secondary break that simply takes advantage of a defense not being set. It includes some very simple concepts and players love it since it allows them the opportunity to get out and run. Billeter uses on-court demonstrations to show you all the rules of the offense including spacing, cutting, screens, and more. Fast Break Offense Secondary Actions The additional actions built into the preset allow you to add as many layers of complexity as you want in your transition attack. One action is the Pipe Action, which uses a zipper cut to set a mid-ball screen with different reads. Off the mid-ball screen, there are even more options presented. While Coach Billeter’s offense may seem complex, it really is not which is another advantage for players. Fast Break Drills You will see how Coach Billeter practices the full-court offense using the Circle Drill. Players start circling the free throw circle. One team gets a rebound and then executes the full-court offense. Billeter changes up the drill and sometimes the offense must go against seven defenders. Players learn to execute the various actions of the offense in a disadvantage situation. Press Offense Coach Billeter believes in playing fast and when teams press his offense he responds with an attacking press break. His press offense can be used to attack any style of full-court pressure. Billeter demonstrates multiple options to attack the press with ball reversals and attacking it up the sideline. This offense is one that will help your team score more and allow you to control the tempo of any game. Ren this fast break offense DVD today.

A Proven Way to Beat Zone Defense Bob Brown has coached over five decades at the high school and college levels and understands how to attack & beat zone defenses. With over 600 career wins and four state championships, Coach Brown goes on the court to show you how to break down both even- and odd-front zone defenses. He teaches you his two most effective zone offenses which are easy to install but difficult to defend. Both offenses have been used successfully from the high school level all the way to NCAA Division I. Zone Offense vs. Even Fronts Coach Brown’s zone offense against an even front defense is predicated on spacing by the wings to create overloads and open up the high post. Playing the 4 at the high post and putting the 5 in the short corner creates a defensive imbalance. Coach Brown’s offense stresses quick precise passing. Skip passes and appropriate slides keep the defense chasing the ball. You will see a few drills to add to your practices to help your teams learn the core concepts of Coach Brown’s zone offense. Zone Offense vs. Odd Fronts The final segment of the video breaks down how Coach Brown attacks an odd-front defense. To attack odd-fronts defenses, Coach Brown stresses low-block screens and corner jump shots. Getting good looks from the outside can beat a zone defense, but creating looks closer to the basket is even better. Brown shows you a series of screens that create shots from the baseline corner. He shows you how to attack with diagonal passes through and over the zone. The key shooting spots will open up for your best shooter. These spots open up as the defense scrambles to either cover the corner or fly to the skip pass. Again, Coach Brown shares a few drills that you can use to install the offense, which works against a 1-3-1, 1-2-2, or 3-2 zone. The final part of the presentation includes how the offense creates rebounding opportunities that consistently lead to high percentage baskets. Coach Brown’s zone offense is simple to install and extremely effective. His video can help your team take down any zone offense. Rent this beat zone defense DVD today.

Cliff Ellis: Pressing Options Out of a 1-2-1-1 Will you be ready to press your opponent when you absolutely have to? Coastal Carolina head coach Cliff Ellis has over 850 career wins, six conference coach of the year awards, and a national coach of the year award (1999) under his belt. In this video, Coach Ellis teaches his patented 1-2-1-1 full-court press. He does an outstanding job of describing each individual responsibility and role within the press as well as all the details that make the press a great strategy. The press is for both cautious and more aggressive coaches. Those that are cautious will find security in the many effective ideas that are taught on how to avoid being beaten down the court in transition. Aggressive coaches will learn how to get into multiple trapping opportunities and how to press off of a missed shot. Coach Ellis shows you how to start the press in a more conservative manner to begin. The full-court press can also morph into a three-quarter court press that will keep opponents off balance. The press becomes very aggressive as Ellis teaches players how to trap on the first inbound pass. Wings learn when and where to trap as Ellis tapes off sections of the court. This helps players understand how to move when the ball is passed. He teaches both the middle man and the safety how to “lie in the weeds” in order to force ball movement for a trap. The most important part of any press, according to Ellis, is the recovery. Coach Ellis goes deep into demonstrating and teaching how to recover from the press. The final part of the video is where Ellis explains a number of different situations to put players through right from Day 1. He talks about a “multiply” situation where players must scramble into a secondary press if a steal occurs and a basket is made. You will see how to defend the four basic passes out of the initial trap. Coach Ellis also shows you how to switch from a conservative 1-2-1-1 full-court press to a more aggressive three-quarter court “12 Press” when the ball is passed backwards in the press. These pressure concepts will create panic in your opponents and allow your team to capitalize on their indecisions.

Coach Dixon breaks down the perimeter section of the 4-Out 1-In Offense. The perimeter areas are the two wings, the two guard slots and the four spots above the lane line extended. All perimeter players must perform the sweep series to begin their workout. Dixon instructs players how to openly catch, catch, sweep, drive to the basket, or pull up to shoot. A 6-inch shot fake is an important teaching tool that makes it easier to get to the basket. Next, you can do a jump shot using the same sweep series cuts. Drive and drag refers to a baseline drive, followed by a dish to another teammate. This drill is all about finding the angle, getting to a spot, and being available for the catch. The 3 W's are a way for players to efficiently use screens. They represent widening, waiting for the screen, and watching the defense. The cutting sequence begins with the basket cut. Next, the curl high, backcut, pop, and fade cuts are followed. This defense focuses on penetration work and is done in a 2-on-2 environment. Multi-purpose transition drills are used to condition, penetrate positioning, read the court, and handle ball movement. A half court 2-on-2 drill is used to defend the back screen and ball screen. You can also develop your perimeter with 3-on-0 or 4-on-0 drills. 55 minutes. 2007.
