A look inside the dribble penetration techniques that are used to make successful guard attacks. To set the tone for a productive, hard-nosed day, incorporate a "Daily Vit Period" into the first 15 minutes. Shell drills can be used to provide high-quality repetitions for offensive players Individual defense fundamentals that contribute to a cohesive and tenacious team defense. You will learn how to create a program that is successful by focusing on your players' skill development. This insider's view of Pat Baldwin's practice will show you drills to train shooting, finishing, drive, kick, team defense, and many other skills. Position-Specific Drills How can you help your team prepare for the scenarios they will encounter in games? Reinforcing skills that are relevant to the situations they will encounter in games is one of the best ways to help your players. Learn how to teach your guards footwork and finishes using Baldwin's "daily vitamin" routine. Your guards will learn how to defend their dribble against pressure using the "Attack & RetreatÓ drill. They can also use different combinations of moves to re-attack. Three great post drills will help your players improve their skills in catching post feeds and duck-ins at rim. Team Drills Baldwin's team drills use the same approach - get your team ready in practice and they will perform well in games. Four drills can be run with the entire team to improve fundamental skills such as passing, catching in open court, pressure handling, and spacing on dribble penetration. The drill "One Minute Passing" teaches players how to pass and defend against aggressive denial defenses. This is a crucial skill that you should practice over and over again. Your team will need to be able to 'in the flowÕ in game situations late in the season and in games that are important at the end. The Speed drill is great for adding energy to your practices and working on your passing and finishing skills in your transition offense. The "Shock TherapyÓ drill is great for conditioning your players to play with power through contact on drives to basket. Whether you get them or not, it is important to prepare your players for those late game calls. Shooting Drills Baldwin encourages his players to practice game-like shots, repeating the same actions they will use in games. Perimeter players practice shooting motions in their offense, such as moving on drives, shaking off the corner on ball screens and running the floor during transition. Post players practice dribble handoffs. Baldwin will demonstrate a unique approach to dribble handoffs from the low posts towards the perimeter. Your team will reap the benefits of practice simulations that simulate a game before the game. Defensive Staples Your players must have the fundamentals right. Here's a look at how Baldwin's coaches develop great defense skills using a series of breakdown drills. The 2-on-2 drill teaches players how to properly position themselves as they move from their gap to the ball. Another drill teaches players to wall up in the paint and contest shots without fouling. Multiple progressions of the "Shell" drill allow you to defend multiple actions, such as flares, ball screens (dribble handoffs), pin screens, and exchanges. These actions can all be combined in one possession, which will make it difficult for your defenders and you to manage multiple actions. The practice ends when players must guard set plays in 5-on-5 half-court scrimmaging. John Wooden was the one who coined the phrase "Failure of preparation is preparing for failure." This 'Open Practice" with Pat Baldwin will show you how a team and staff will demonstrate how a focus on practice and game simulation will lead to greater chances that each player will play at their best when they take to the court later in season. 52 minutes. 2022.

Open Practice: High-Intensity Defensive Practice Drills & Concepts Current Xavier University head coach Travis Steele has continued the Musketeers high level of play since taking over for Chris Mack. Xavier has been to eight straight NCAA tournaments and reached the Elite Eight in 2017. Much of the program’s success is due to its lock-down defense. In this video, Coach Steele shares with you how he puts together a practice with the goal of producing a solid pack line defense. On-Ball Defense Coach Steele begins with drills to help players build their closeout skills. They play with high hands, choppy feet, elbows tight, and constant foot movement. Vegas Closeouts is a drill to train players to closeout with high hands and pressure the ball handler. After popping back off a jab step, defenders work on their push steps to stop the driver from getting around them. 2-on-2 Early Stunt is another drill where players use their closeouts and then go into a 2-on-2 situation. Defenders closeout and then must be there to prevent a rhythm 3-point attempt. These drills focus on being in help position with the ability to recover. Off-Ball Defense Play here starts in a 3-on-3 where players learn to build back-side defensive abilities by guarding cutters. The drill progresses to add a fourth defender and another offensive player in the post. In 4-on-4 Shell, Coach Steele simulates game situations to work on defensive rotations. You’ll see how to improve on defending drives and how to create early stunt situations. Ball Screen Defense To finish practice, Coach Steele teaches the hard hedge on ball screens on the wings. Once a post uses the hard hedge, the back-side help must rotate to build the wall around the ball. Post players will learn how to “X-Out” and switch post defenders. If you are looking to learn more about pack line defensive principles, this a great look inside a practice from one of the best up-and-coming young coaches in the game.

In an effort to combat this trend, University of Vermont head coach John Becker presents his “Contain & Contest” defense, an adaptation of his man-to-man system. Becker is a four-time America East Conference Coach of the Year and has led Vermont to seven total - four regular season, three tournament – conference titles. In this presentation, Coach Becker shares the essential teaching points and the eight practice drills needed to run the Contain & Contest defense. The defense is built upon a foundation of mastering closeouts, off-ball positioning, and fixing disadvantage situations. Closeouts The defense is based upon perfecting closeout technique. Coach Becker goes into detail on the fundamentals of great on-ball defenders – hand placement, foot angles, advancing/retreating on fakes. He demonstrates two drills to work on closeout technique. Partner Closeouts: teaches players to break down in a proper on-ball defensive stance to cut off drives to the middle. Four Spot Closeouts: players stop drives and then pressure the ball once it’s picked up. Off-Ball Positioning in Half Court Defense At Vermont, Coach Becker runs the Shell defense every day to master their man-to-man principles. The Shell Positional Drill helps players learn to deter dribble penetration while still pressuring passing lanes with the “50” position one pass away from the ball. You will also see how adjusting the weak side defender puts the player in a better position to assist on help rotations. Scrambling The best defenses are always prepared for the worst situations. When breakdowns occur, Coach Becker wants his players to have a solution. He presents four different drills that emphasize the importance of communicating, recognizing immediate threats, and making decisions. The Scramble Drill works on disadvantaged situations and teaches players their help rotations and recovery on kick-out passes. Ball Screens With the rise in the use of ball screens, Coach Becker wants his players to understand how to defend them. He shows you a strategy for defending side ball screens that teaches players to disrupt the path of the ball handler while still covering the screener on two- and three-man sides. If your program is in need of upgrade to your man-to-man defense, Coach Becker has the answer for today’s most common offensive tactics. Rent this half court defense DVD today.

Getting the Most Out of Your Team There is much more than just winning games when it comes to coaching basketball. University of Oklahoma women’s head coach Sherri Coale has won nearly 500 games, 10 Big 12 championships, and took her 2009 and ’10 teams to the Final Four. In this video, Coach Coale talks about what’s going on in her program and how she has changed her approach to coaching to allow her players and the team become more successful. Match Your Coaching Philosophy with Your Team As a coach, getting the most out of your team, you have to understand what your players do well. Coach Coale stresses meshing your philosophy as a coach with your team’s strengths. Using the secondary fast break as an example, Coale explains what she means. Determine what players do best and build around those traits. Improve coach and player development by focusing on the coaching staff’s statement-to-question ratio. Teach players to recognize the optimal threshold to shoot or drive. Decision Making In practices, Coach Coale puts players in positions where they are forced to make decisions. Players need to know why they are doing something instead of just being told what to do. Coale and her coaches always try to ask questions in such a way that players end up teaching themselves. Coale uses the pick and roll as an example here. By breaking down the pick and roll options in the secondary break, Coale demonstrates how to get players to focus on an attack-first mentality. By teaching them the “why,” players make better decisions with the basketball. Practice Like You Play While Coale does structure some traditional 5-on-5 practice time, she also makes 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 drills more game-like. In 5-on-5 situations, players are limited in the number of touches they get which decreases their ability to improve certain basketball skills. Coale then likes to turn all of her drills into a game, if possible. Look at Yourself Teams will play like they practice and practices will only get better if you improve as a coach. Coach Coale encourages watchers of this video to examine themselves and what they do. Look at teams that are successful and find out what it is that makes them good. Coale goes on to explain what she feels is valuable and how important it is to understand players’ perspectives as well. This is an intense, engaging video from one of the most successful coaches in college basketball. Coaches at all levels will find several valuable insights into coaching, practice design and much more. Rent this getting the most out of your team for basketball DVD today.
