Team Drills for Offensive Skill Development Maximize your entire team’s skill development with over 20 drills from Don Showalter, long-time head coach at Iowa City (IA) High School. Showalter also served as coach of Team USA U16 and U17 national teams from 2009 to 2014 and won six gold medals. In this video, Coach Showalter shows coaches how to train players regardless of the facilities or limited coaching resources. You will see drills he used with the USA U16 and U17 national teams that will improve everything from dribbling and passing to screening and shooting. Footwork Drills All of Coach Showalter’s footwork drills begin with a warmup series and include the “Line Drill” series. The idea is to establish a strong base below the waist and ensure balance in an effort to create space against a defender. Coaches will see a full-court drill reminiscent of legendary UCLA coach John Wooden. Players work on the jump stop, pivots, getting open with a V-cut, a pullup jumper, securing the ball on a rebound, and tipping the ball with both hands. To maximize reps, Coach Showalter developed a series of 15 Line Drills that work on improving in different areas of the game. Players learn to make strong passes with their weak hand, for example. Three of the drills work on teaching players to set and use on-ball and off-ball screens. Shooting Drills Shooting technique is the focus of Oiler Shooting Series, Box Drills, and the 30-Second Drills. Players work on shooting from distance as well as finishing at the rim. The Oiler Drill teaches players to pull up and shoot under control from different spots on the floor. Players can also incorporate pivots, fakes, and more to vary the shots taken. The Box Drills teach players to use seven different yet effective scoring moves from the high post. The 30-Second Drills – there are six total – get players to compete and improve to new levels. The Superman Drill is one that trains players to aggressively chase rebounds and then be explosive at the rim. All of Coach Showalter’s concepts can be incorporated with the Cut Throat Drill from former NBA coach Dick Motta. Learn how to emphasize different offensive concepts while your players work on developing their skills in game-like competition. Coach Showalter’s video is great for any coach looking to improve his players’ basic fundamental basketball skills.

Stifling Your Opponent with Multiple Changing Basketball Defenses Current South Florida assistant and former Marshall head coach Tom Herrion believes in a philosophy of disrupting offenses by playing different defenses. The idea is to keep an offense uncomfortable with the ability to switch defenses between man and zone. Herrion used the philosophy with great success at Marshall where he took the Thundering Herd to two postseason tournaments in four years. Pressure Basketball Defenses Coach Herrion goes onto the court to walk you through four different pressure defenses designed to get the ball away from the opposing team’s best all handler. Two concepts – Lock and Squeeze – are taught as methods of getting the ball into the hands of a post player to bring the ball up the floor in transition. The segment finishes with the Greyhound Drill, a full-court drill that emphasizes transition offense and getting immediately into full-court pressure on a made basket. Zone Basketball Defenses Continuing in his presentation, Coach Herrion explains two zone defenses that keep opponents off balance. Both defenses for opponents into trapping areas at half court. Herrion goes into further detail on the 1-2-2 containing press showing you how to get two different traps. He also explains how to use the 2-1-2 press. Coach Herrion shows you how most teams try to beat the 2-1-2 press and then explains how to shut opponents down with the 2-1-2 by putting heavy pressure on the ball. Ball Screen Basketball Defenses When opponents are lucky enough to break the pressure, Coach Herrion shows you three different ball screen defenses you can use against an opponent’s best ball handler and shooter. You also get an in-depth look at downing or icing a screen, which effectively forces opponents away from the basket. This is great presentation on how to use defense to control games. Use Coach Herrion’s multiple changing defenses to stifle your opponents and prevent any offensive flow. Rent this Basketball Defenses video today.

Dean Smith, a North Carolina legend, teaches you how to create two powerful offenses Two basketball offenses have won more than 800 games. These offenses can be demonstrated on the court using whiteboard diagrams, game clips and demonstrations. Dean Smith reveals two powerful offenses that he used in leading his teams to more than 800 wins and two NCAA Championships: the Four Corners Delay Game and the T-Game Zone Offense. The T-Game is effective against zone and man-to-man defenses. To exploit the defense, the T-Game places players strategically across the floor. The perimeter is manned by three guards, who work together with the posts to create a team. The zone is defended by ball and player movement, skip passes and posts dives. Coach Smith helps to dissect the T-game's details with game clips, whiteboard diagrams and a demonstration on the floor. Smith created the Four Corners delay game to preserve leads in the final stages of the game. It was used 107 times by Smith during his career. The Heels won 105 of these games because of its effectiveness. The five benefits of the four corners make defenses struggle to gain an edge. 79 minutes. 2008.
