(Rental)-Origins Of The Pack Line Defense With Drills
$17.99
Origins of the Pack Line Defense with Breakdown Drills
The Pack Line defense helped propel Virginia to a national title in 2019. The origins of the system came from Virginia head coach Tony Bennett’s father, Dick, a 28-year NCAA coaching veteran. The elder Bennett is best remembered for his time at Wisconsin where he led the Badgers to the 2000 Final Four.
In this video, Bennett shows you how to implement the Pack Line defense, a man-to-man defense that is designed to prevent dribble penetration and contest open 3-point shots. It is a system that allows less athletic teams consistently compete with superior offensive teams.
Why the Pack Line Defense?
Bennett begins with some insight behind his creation of the system and the keys to its success. Bennett identifies several points for those looking to improve their teams on the defensive end. These points include:
Four things Bennett demands from his defense
How to implement game changers
Why the defense is so difficult for great offensive players to crack
Why Bennett moved from push-to-baseline to the Pack Line concept
How the Pack Line limits scoring opportunities against great teams
Characteristics of great defenders
Push to Pack
To play the Pack Line defense, you must have an on-ball defender that pressures the ball and disrupts the ball-handler to get him out of his comfort zone. The on-ball defender must trust his teammates for help. Help defense is key to the Pack Line but different than traditional defenses. Help defenders are often closer to the basket and must straddle the seam in order to be able to close out on a shooter.
Defending Screens
Bennett demonstrates how his players defend screens. His strategy is somewhat unique and his players must hedge, or double, the ball handler. Coach Bennett also teaches a technique where the screener gets smothered if the ball handler is not a great shooter or a threat to score.
Transition Defense
Coach Bennett also teaches “back to attack,” which is a focus on transition defense. You will learn two full-court transition drills that address getting back on defense and preventing easy baskets. Players learn to communicate and stop teams in transition.
This presentation is from one of the great defensive minds of all-time. Learn the suffocating Pack Line defense from the man who created it!

Enfield also shares the success rates of his plays to emphasize that you shouldn’t keep plays in the playbook that don’t work.
How to Position Players in Man to fMan Offense
One of the key strategies employed by Enfield is to take advantage of what each individual player does best. With that in mind, Coach Enfield will show you how to position your players on the floor to give them the best chance at being successful. He will also show you how to position players that may be less skilled than others. Many coaches do not address how to position players, but Coach Enfield believes it is necessary if an offense wants to succeed.
Attacking Man to Man Offense
You will most certainly find something in Coach Enfield’s presentation that you can take and use in your offense. You will see how Enfield attacks multiple areas of the floor in an effort to get high percentage shots. Coach will share with you an offensive system that utilizes motion and screens and can be used against man or zone defense.
One thing that makes Enfield’s offense so effective is the ability to mask what an offense is doing. Enfield will share with you how he runs multiple plays but out of the same offensive set. The results are one of Division I’s highest scoring teams year-in and year-out.
Most every offensive set that you can imagine is reviewed in this 73-minute video.

Offensive Skill Development and Attacking Man & Zone Defenses
In his first year as the head coach at Iowa State, Steve Prohm took the Cyclones to the Sweet Sixteen. One of the big reasons with an offensive system that was a national leader in points per game (15th), offensive efficiency (3rd), field goal percentage (2nd), and assists (7th). In this offensive skill development video, Coach Prohm shares with you a number of concepts related to his offensive system as well as 11 skill development drills that are the core of his program. You will also see nine plays that you can run against half-court man-to-man defenses, and learn five ways that Prohm likes to attack zone defenses.
Individual Skill Drills
Like any successful offensive system, you have to develop players into offensive weapons. They must have the ability to shoot, dribble, and pass. Coach Prohm works on all these individual skills using 11 different drills. The drills focus on shooting ability and ball handling and you can pick and choose from the drills the ones to use on a daily basis. This way, your players don’t get bored doing the same drills every day. The drills are great for warmup during the season or for player development in the offseason.
Four-Man Extra Pass: Players work on finding open shooters off quick ball reversals, baseline drift passes, or extra passes.
Kentucky Ball Handling: Practice attacking the basket using dribble moves to get by defenders and then use four different finishes at the rim.
Starts, Stops, and Turns: Improves pivoting and passing and helps players learn to create space when under pressure.
Man-to-Man Offense
Coach Prohm’s offense is one that excels at playing with space. It is perfect for teams with talented point guards. Using “Mason” action, Prohm shows you how to create isolations with your point guard. The isolations can also be for a talented post player. Prohm demonstrates plays designed to isolate post players too. Mason Rip is a play that can get your best shooter in position for an open 3-pointer when you absolutely have to have one.
Iowa State uses 32 Action to space the floor and optimize dribble penetration and post feeds. Prohm shows you two plays from 32 Action and then shows you more from Hook Action. Players flatten along the baseline to create space for step-up ball screens. You also get a baseline inbound play that Coach Prohm likes to use in freeing up his best shooter.
Zone Offense
Coach Prohm shows you five plays to use in your zone offense. The five plays utilize misdirection, screens, and spacing to distort the zone and create gaps to attack the paint. Two plays help you attack a zone with your secondary break and get the ball inside to the high post.
If you are looking to step up your man and zone offenses, Coach Prohm’s system has had much success in the Big 12. He also provides you with the drills to develop your players’ skills. Rent this offensive skill development DVD today.

In addition, you will see some of Iowa State’s fast break, half-court offense, inbounds plays, and zone offense.
Warm-Up Basketball Drills
Coach Prohm begins practices with a number of warm-up drills that serve multiple purposes. These drills focus on running the floor, passing, catching, shooting, and finishing at the basket. Players get their bodies ready for practice while also developing the fundamental skills needed for offensive execution.
Closeout Drills
Five different drills are demonstrated by Coach Prohm that develop the fundamental defensive skill of closing out to the ball. Drills include:
Full Court Closeouts: Players use the whole court to work on breaking down the to the ball and exploding with their defensive slides.
Triangle Slides: Players learn to use closeouts in other defensive movements like sprinting to help or cutting off dribble penetration.
Partner Closeout: Players develop their on-ball pressure skills in an effort to become more disruptive defenders.
Half-Court Defensive Drills
Prohm begins the teaching of the Cyclones’ man-to-man defense by using nine different drills. The drills teach concepts like helping in the post, denying passes, preventing dribble penetration, and fighting through screens. These drills are great because they teach multiple defensive concepts at the same time.
The 1-on-0 Dig the Post Drill teaches players to closeout, pressure the passer, dig on the post, stunt at dribble penetration, and contain the dribble with defensive slides. The 3-on-3 Positioning Drill trains players to jump to the ball, stunt and recover, deny cutters, and help and recover on baseline drives.
Two more drills challenge players to scramble through 4-on-3 disadvantage situations. Coach Prohm likes these drills because they force players to communicate and teach priorities like protecting the ball and defending the rim.
Transition Defense Drills
Teams simply cannot give up easy baskets if they want to be successful. You will see the Cyclones work three drills that teach multiple phases of defending in transition. The 3-on-2 to 2-on-3 Drill has players work through disadvantage situations. You will also see the 5-on-3 Get Back Drill where players must learn to establish roles in transition defense.

Zig Zag Drill: You will see several versions of the full-court 1-on-1 drill that teaches players to slow down the ball, contain a dribbler, and contest a shot.

3-on-3 Rebounding: The skills learned in the first drill are put to use in competitive play while also including closeouts, help positioning, and cutting off baseline penetration.

Coach Giacoletti puts all of his defensive and rebounding concepts together in the ultimate test – the Turkey Game. The game is highly competitive and is a great way to get players to understand the importance of every possession. Players fight to get a defensive stop and rebound and earn a “Turkey.”

Open Practice with Jim Larranaga: Ball Screen Offense
Looking for ways to use the ball screen effectively? Look no further than University of Miami head coach Jim Larranaga’s playbook. In this video, Coach Larranaga, who was the 2013 AP College Basketball Coach of the Year, offers you a look inside how he uses ball screens in his offense. While most coaches understand the simple ball screen, the use of multiple ball screens is difficult for defenses to stop. Coach Larranaga shows you how in this video using whiteboard diagrams and on-court demonstrations.
It all starts with screening action in transition and in the secondary break. With each screening action, you will see three opportunities to score: the point guard on a drive to the rim, a 3-pointer from the perimeter, or an open post player. Coach Larranaga explains each screen, each cut, and each setup.
Coach Larranaga then moves into the half-court offense and emphasizes using space. You will see how to create space in the post using a ball screen and isolate your best wing and post players on one side creating a two-man scoring threat. The half-court offense continues with the double ball screen, flat ball screen, and a look at the popular “Horns” set used by several NBA teams. Coach Larranaga walks you through each option and how to counter when a defense takes away the first option.
Using on-court demonstrations, Coach Larranaga teaches the basic installation of his ball screen offense. He will show you 13 different set plays using ball screen actions, the same ones he reviewed in the whiteboard presentation. Coach draws up both 5-on-0 and 5-on-5 situations so you and your players can visualize reading and reacting off of a screen. Larranaga even throws in a bonus, the “Zipper” action that is popular in the NBA today. He shows you how to incorporate it into your offense.
The ball screen offense, when used properly, will confuse opponents especially when screens are used from different angles all over the court. Coach Larranaga is one of the best when it comes to the ball screen. Learn it from one of the game’s masters in this 71-minute video.

The basketball practice begins with fundamental skill development and position-specific drills. Players work on ball handling and passing early in practice giving players a chance to work on those skills while getting loose. From there, players split by position. Post players work on sweeps that lead to attacking the rim. They also work on catching the ball as they trail and finishing.
Basketball Practice Drills for Guards
Guards work on penetrating the lane, making accurate passes, and pivoting. Guards also work on attacking the hedge off the ball screen. This is an extremely important skill especially in a ball screen offense.
The next phase of practice finds players working on defensive breakdown drills The Wall Drill teaches big men to play solid post defense without committing fouls. Guards run a 2-on-2 drill with an emphasis on dealing with cross and down screens and working the gaps in the defense.
Next, Coach Skerry runs his players through the multiple offensive sets. You get a great look at Skerry’s Shuffle Offense which features back screens and ball screens. These different actions prevent defenses from anticipating and disrupting the offense. The Option Offense teaches players to curl off of screens to get open shots. Each of these offensive sets can generate open looks for your best players.
Transition Drills
Coach Skerry then runs his team through a segment in transition. The Scrabble Drill has one team of three on defense going up against four players on offense. Players must play good position defense and scramble to the ball. When the possession changes, the defense transitions to offense and gains two players. These overloaded drills emphasize defensive help concepts. The Cycle Drill is also introduced here. The offense runs through a set zone offense in a 5-on-0 situation then transitions to two possessions against a live defense.
The practice ends with the 6 Possessions and 6 Points competition. The offense gets six possessions to score six points. The drill emphasizes being efficient on each possession and adds an element of competition. Coach Skerry gives you a number of very useful drills in this 100-minute video.

Coach Miller's philosophy for player improvement can be summarized into four key points. Have a plan, create a conditioning element and practice it. Make footwork the foundation of your improvement. Miller illustrates drills that focus on skills off the catch and off the dribble. Larry Brown is responsible for the explosion sequence off the catch.

$15.99
Coach Brady starts with a warm up drill that incorporates a variety ball handling skills. Brady feels that his team must be strong in their press conference, as the SEC is very pressing. Brady expects to have the passer a sideline and middle line, reverse, deep, and reverse pass available once the ball has been thrown in. Cutters learn to catch and score. This will draw defenders and make space for other players. Brady walks through the press break and demonstrates each option from different spots on the floor. Multiplied options allow teams to be flexible when under pressure. Brady teaches that all passers must have hands available. He also stresses the importance of ball fakes and two hard dribbles. This will allow for defense to stretch and provide passing opportunities. One Down, which is a special option for the press, is demonstrated by Brady. It's designed for both a deep pass or a layup. Brady's thoughts on scoring offensively in transition offense are shared. Brady shows how he can take advantage of a free throw situation to allow for quick basket breaks. There are many options for scoring great opportunities at the end of this break. This transition system includes stagger screening, on-ball screens, and spacing.
