Open Practice: Team Practice Drills University of Central Oklahoma head coach Bob Hoffman has over 600 career coaching victories. As the former head coach at Mercer University, Hoffman won back-to-back Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year awards in 2013 and 2014. He led Mercer to its first-ever NCAA tournament win – over Duke in 2014 – in program history. In this video, Hoffman shares a collection of intense and effective team practice drills. With an emphasis on building a culture of teamwork and communication, Hoffman shows you how he was able to take a mid-major program like Mercer and beat a college basketball blueblood like Duke in the NCAA tournament. Transition Offense In a live practice setting, Coach Hoffman shows you five full-court drills that help you develop your transition offense. The drills include: Three Lines Drill: This is a two-ball drill that works on igniting the offense with quick outlet passes and finishing at the rim with layups. The Pacer Drill: Players are challenged to make jump shots in transition. Three-Man Weave: This traditional drill is made more difficult by decreasing time goals and limiting the number of passes allowed on trips down the floor. Five Man Weave to 3-on-2 Back Drill: Players work on scoring in transition when in advantage situations. Line Transition: This drill emphasizes defense and forces players to protect the rim in a temporary disadvantage situation. Early Offense A series of 3-man and 4-man full-court drills are used to develop the early offense. Coach Hoffman’s team practices a variety of scoring actions that they use in transition. Guards work on transition jump shots while also looking for different ways to feed the post. You will get plenty of ideas for how to develop your own early offense using these drills. Scrimmages Watch and see how Coach Hoffman and his staff control their scrimmages to teach players their offensive and defensive systems. When play is stopped, watch as the coaches and players huddle to discuss the previous play and talk about new strategies. Coach Hoffman’s presentation can be used as a template for a full practice or it can be picked apart drill by drill. For coaches looking for an up-tempo attack and how to build teamwork, Coach Hoffman’s presentation is the perfect addition to a coaching library.

Special Situations Basketball Scoring in special situations such as on an out of bounds play can often be the difference between winning and losing. When two teams of equal talent meet, those special situations can be what makes or breaks a game. In this video, former Findlay Prep (NV) head coach Michael Peck offers up his toolbox of special situation plays to create scoring opportunities for his players. Coach Peck, now a UTSA associate head coach, turned Findlay Prep into a national powerhouse with three national championships in five years and four NBA draft picks in a span of two years. He shows you his go-to plays in special situations. Baseline Series It all begins with the baseline out of bounds series. Coach Peck demonstrates four set plays that force opponents play their best defense to prevent an easy shot. Each play has a quick-hitter as well as multiple options off of it. Each option can hit the safety valve to get a shot for the in-bounder who is often the forgotten player on an inbounds play. Coach Peck then gets into “Switch” which is a counter screening system that can be used with each of the four baseline plays. This little wrinkle gives opponents even more to think about as now your plays have a large number of options. Sideline Series Next are two sideline out of bounds plays. Needing a game-winner on this type of play comes along every so often and Coach Peck shows you two - Special and Short. Both plays present a lob opportunity as well as a shot off of a screen. Special is a misdirection play that also provides a chance for an easy layup game-winner. Coach Peck is also a big believer in working on game situations and using the clock. You have to continually put players into these situations to prepare them. Whether down by two with 10 seconds to play or up by five with a minute to go, players that have practiced these situations are much better prepared to handle them for real. The special situations basketball plays presented by Coach Peck could be the difference between winning a league, state, or even national title.

Jim Clayton: Skills and Drills for a Quick, Accurate Shot Shooting is a fundamental skill that basketball players must possess in order to be successful. In this video, NBA shooting instructor Jim Clayton, head of Sports City U Basketball Academy, takes you through a shooting session that will make you reassess how your players learn to shoot. Coach Clayton looks at several factors in a player’s shot and will make you question how you teach shooting. Some of the factors include: Why your player struggles with his shot What is the player’s problem within the shot How to fix the player’s shot How to be relevant and help your players correct their own mistakes In describing the three ways to shoot a basketball, Coach Clayton talks about the factors that affect each type of shot. Included in that discussion is the term “ball speed.” Coach Clayton teaches you how to use ball speed to speed up shot mechanics and beat a defender. Coach Clayton then begins demonstrating a number of drills. In one, you’ll see a simple movement that can reduce the potential for strips when shooting a jump shot or layup. The X Drill reinforces this movement to help increase ball speed on jump shots. You’ll see how to rip through on the catch and attack the glass and how to do the same and go right into a pull-up jump shot. The 31 Series Drill breaks down the mechanics of stepping into a shot. You will see how to get low and attack using the “dribble line” to get by your defender. Coach Clayton describes how you use the first power dribble to get into your shooting position and how to explode off the last dribble right into your shot. The Flow Drill series helps players become better, quicker shooters. Competition in the drill series helps players think about how they are shooting. When players have mastered shooting technique, they will be able to see their mistakes more clearly. Clayton also addresses free throws. He reveals one small error that many players make that causes their free throws to fall short. He follows that up with a warmup technique that “shortens your shot” and generates more ball speed. This is a great DVD for teaching the proper mechanics of shooting the basketball. The fast-moving drills offer tons of game speed shots and allow for individual correction.

To put the pressure on your opponent, run with maximum effort and make sure you have teammates available Tire your opponent mentally and physically Your team should be able to recognize defenses and make mistakes. Profit from your rivals by running, rebounding and outworking them until they are physically and mentally exhausted. Coach Downs shows you how to start each break quickly by running to open your teammates. He outlines the roles for each position, including counters and early and late break actions. On court, transition drills can also be shown and diagrammed. Downs leads from the break into his offense by explaining his high/low motion screening actions. This is a very effective way to take action: Possibilities to post up for perimeter and post players Screens offer 1-on-1 opportunities Spot up shooters will need to post kick outs Strong rebounding and mismatch possibilities on the perimeter and post Downs explains the rules and responsibilities of players, how to use a ball screen, and how to position the defense to create space. For every defensive situation, Downs explains the steps and diagrams. Finally, drills for both individual and team are created and displayed on court. Downs' teams averaged almost 80 points per game over the three years using the speed game and high/low movement screening. This has led to two state championships.

Increase the toughness of your players Use team defense drills, such as transition, rebounding, and team defense drills to get the best out of your team From the first drill to the last, expect excellence from your team Bob Huggins, the legendary coach of basketball, will lead you through a series aggressive drills that you can use in your practices to encourage your players to play better. Huggins starts with tempo-setting drills that get your team moving. Then, Huggins moves on to rebounding drills. He uses the 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 drills to rebound away from the ball. Huggins' favorite drill, the "4-on-4 plus 1," forces defenders out of their comfort zones to assist each other in the post and penetration. Huggins ends with a 6-on-4 screening drill that prepares him for an opponent running a motion offense that requires a lot screening. Huggins is a great example of how to expect excellence from your team. 70 minutes. 2009.

With 2008 AP Coach Keno Davis, learn the secrets to basketball's spread dribble drive motion offense. Strategies and tactics to develop the spread dribble drive offense Demonstrations of late-clock plays and reversals for improving your team's offense Spread offense is best when there is a defensive rebound and an aggressive quick break. Keno Davis' offense places maximum pressure on defense and can lead to opponent defenses being changed. Coach Davis starts with the outlet pass and a specific lane responsibility in offensive transition. If possible, it is encouraged to take advantage of any early offensive opportunities. Each player can immediately run his lane from their designated zone spot. The 5-0 break is a warm up drill that then leads to live 5-on-5 play. Early action depends on the defense once the ball is in the half court. Davis offers a few options. Once the ball is reversed twice, he shares a special play called "dribble spread". The court spread allows the offense to choose its driving opportunities, such as getting to the basket or a dish to a three-point shooter. Spread offense also offers the special "2" play. 47 minutes. 2008.
