Offensive Spacing Basketball & Relocation University of Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson helps you open up the floor and get better on offense through focusing on spacing and relocation. Coach Sampson has had a long and successful career at programs such as Oklahoma, Indiana, and Washington State prior to earning the 2018 American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year award in 2018 at Houston. In this video, he presents to you not only his ideas about spacing and offense, but also some of his thoughts about coaching in general. Sampson talks about his “Five C’s of Coaching” – Competency, Consistency, Confidence, Competitive, and Confrontation – and why they are important in coaching. He also discusses practice, assistant coach roles, staff meetings, how to become a better coach, how to incorporate things learned from other coaches, and the importance of preparation. Sampson believes in playing hard and competing, but at the end of the day reminds you that “shooting is not an equal opportunity employer.” Offensive Spacing Basketball Coach Sampson gets right into the concept of spacing by discussing the most common mistakes coaches make in a free-flowing offense. Sampson points out the three things necessary to a successful spacing offense: A point guard that can play out of the pick & roll A sprinter (big man) that can set the screen A stretch-4 that can make a 3-pointer You will see how to incorporate a ball screen into the offense as well as the importance of the roll man. Coach Sampson shows how post players must sprint to ball screens and how the “hit & go,” popular in the NBA, is run. The next phase in the offense is relocation, which helps maintain spacing in the offense. Guards, you will see, must have the freedom to read defenses and make plays. Warm Up Drills for Basketball Two drills that use the ideas of the spacing offense are presented. They can be used as warm up drills, but they help teach some of the basic concepts needed in the offense. One drill works on catching the ball on the move. Slower athletes learn to attack the middle with the “beat them off the catch” concept. The second drill is the Three-Man Fast Break which works on getting the ball out of the net quickly and getting the ball up the floor. Sets and Actions Finally, Coach Sampson offers some of his offensive sets, including one action out of the pick and roll that is sure to get your players a good look at an open scoring opportunity. Sampson also presents one baseline out of bounds play that flows right into the pick and roll action. This 75-minute video can help you no matter what offense you run. Spacing is important and Sampson shows you why and how to use it to get more open shots, better scoring opportunities, and to score more points.

University of Florida head coach Mike White, fresh from leading his team into the Elite Eight of the 2017 NCAA Tournament, is lending his vast knowledge of the game in this video presentation designed to improve the offensive skills of young ballers and subsequently, basketball teams. With numerous drills focused on improving team offense, Coach White's instructional video can take your team's offense to Golden State Warriors-like levels. Taking Care of the Ball Basketball has evolved tremendously over the past decade. Gone are the days when only guards were tasked to bring the ball down the court. It has become important for everyone in a team, including centers and forwards, not only to handle the ball well but also to make good decisions with it. This basketball fact is underlined in Coach White's dribbling and passing drills.  One drill, Team Two-Ball Handling, has players dribbling using both their hands. Passing is also developed in Coach White's exercises. In Camp Passing, players are tasked to accomplish various kinds of passes using alternating hands. Basketball players should be able to improve their passing ability with regular execution of this drill. Legendary Marquette University coach Rick Majerus taught coach White a simple drill that develops the shake and bake moves of players. Called Team Majerus handling, this drill requires ball handlers to push off with their front legs upon the execution of a pull-back dribble. It then progresses to the addition of an inside-out dribble, which when followed by a crossover dribble makes any player harder for any defense to guard. There's also the so-called Majerus Closeouts which begins with three defensive players passing to their teammates and then pressuring them. Offensive players are tasked to shake loose their defenders using a combination of jab steps and ball fakes. Emphasizing Shooting Shooting is arguably the most important basic skill in basketball. After all, the object of the game is to put the ball through the hole and score the most points. This fact is not lost on Coach White as he emphasizes how to improve players' shooting fundamentals. Coach White explains his drill called Shot Prep designed to teach the correct physical and mental approach to shooting the basketball. In this drill, players are trained to develop their footwork in setting up their shots. This drill is particularly important in eliminating bad habits like overdribbling and traveling. It also teaches players how to set up their shot immediately after receiving the leather. There are other shooting drills worth mentioning. The Disadvantage Shooting drill can be a good way to teach younger players how to communicate with their teammates on the floor and use this  in getting off a good shot. Meanwhile, the Four Spot Shooting drill is designed to pit players against each other. Players are grouped into teams which need to make three consecutive shots from a certain spot before moving to another area on the court. There are four different spots assigned in this drill. Teams have two minutes to complete this drill.  Indeed, Coach Mike White's Team Skill Development instructional video is a great addition to your collection of basketball instructionals. It can help enhance the offensive skils of your players.

The Chase drill is a full-court drill that teaches players to score at the rim when under pressure. It’s added benefit is in teaching players to never give up in transition defense. Defensive Drills Coach Clatchey shows you three drills to help your team on the defensive end. Dribble Containment is a drill designed to teach players how to closeout and stay in front of the ball against dribble penetration. Other drills help teach defenders how to fight over and under ball screens, understand help defense positioning, and how to shut down an opponent in a 1-on-1 situation. Scrimmages Coach Clatchey puts it all together in three competitive drills. The 2-on-2 Transition Drill is a great way to evaluate your players on both sides of the ball. Tip Drill and 5-on-5 Off the Glass Transition are two drills that can help you control pace in your scrimmages. The final segment of Coach Clatchey’s presentation helps your players prepare for late-game situations.

Basketball Practice Drills to Improve Your Team How players practice carries over into their game performances and former New Mexico State and UNLV head coach Marvin Menzies knows it. It’s why he developed a series of basketball practice drills aimed at improving his players’ skills. Menzies led New Mexico State to three regular season and five WAC tournament championships as well as five NCAA tournament berths. In this video, he demonstrates practice drills for individual skill development that fits into his team’s strategic framework. Pre-Practice Fundamentals A series of shooting drills begins practice. Players learn to become confident in their shots. They begin with simple form shooting and progress to making five shots in a row while working on their form. Posts and guards work with assistant coaches on individual moves and then get into game-like shots. The idea is to focus on rhythm and technique. In-Practice Shooting Drills When practice begins, shooting becomes a point of emphasis. Two main shooting drills are done on a daily basis. 3-Game Shooting: The drill simulates a guard beating his defender off of the bounce and then reading the second defender. The guard can then pull up for a jumper, shoot a floater, shoot a runner, or pass into the post. 3’s, 2’s, and 1’s: Players shoot from seven different spots on the floor and get three points for a made 3-pointer, two points for a pull-up jumper, and one point for a layup. Defense and Rebounding Drills Successful teams must be able to play defense and rebound. Coach Menzies offers up basketball practice drills to build a tough defensive and rebounding mentality. He uses the Shadow Drill to teach defensive stance. Players learn to execute proper slides from a proper stance. An emphasis is placed on pushing off the leg opposite the direction the offensive player is moving, keeping the butt down, staring at the midsection, and keeping the hands out. The 3-on-3 Closeout Drill helps players get in the proper position to defend their man as well as the other players in the right defensive position. Circle Blockout has five defensive players working around in a circle focused on the five offensive rebounders. On the shot, the five defenders communicate to make sure each offensive player is boxed out. Coach Menzies’ 74-minute video presents some quality practice drills that can benefit any team at any level.  Rent this basketball practice drills DVD today.
