Buzz Defense Breakdown Drills & Special Situations by Mike Divilbiss Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Mike Divilbiss (Rental)-Buzz Defense Breakdown Drills & Special Situations $18.99
The Buzz Defense: Breakdown Defense Drills & Special Situations With over 30 years of college coaching experience, Mike Divilbiss presents the Buzz Defense, a fast-paced trapping zone defense that completely disrupts an opponent’s offensive attack. In the video, Coach Divilbiss teaches the breakdown drills you can use to teach players how to move, react, and rebound out of the Buzz defense. You will also see how to prepare the Buzz defense for a number of special situations that often arise during a game. Breakdown Drills Coach Divilbiss explains a number of drills and starts with one that teaches guards to move from on-ball defense to another “home base” on the floor. Defenders sprint from one pass to the next while trying to get deflections and disrupt the offense’s movement. Players also work on trapping, defending one- or two-guard fronts, and taking away passing lanes. The Inside Drill teaches the bottom three players in the Buzz how to move and rotate should the ball get past the two trapping guards. Players develop an uncanny ability to anticipate the next pass while also learning what to do when the ball is skipped, goes to the corner, or enters the high post. One of the keys in playing a zone defense is making sure your athletes are trained in how to rebound. Coach Divilbiss reviews where players must rotate to and the spots on the floor they need to cover when a shot goes up. If not trained properly, rebounding can become difficult in the zone defense. Special Situations Defense Drills Divilbiss has watched over the years as opponents attempt to break down the Buzz. As a result, he has come up with plenty of adjustments. He reviews the most common things teams do to beat the Buzz. He also reviews defending out of bounds situations, adjusting to a 1-4 high set, best times to trap, and how to cover in defensive transition. Coach Divilbiss owes his success to the Buzz defense and gives you the drills needed to ensure it operates at its best.

Decision Training: Unleashing Basketball IQ and Game-Changing Skills Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Decision Training, a cutting-edge approach to basketball skill development that will take your team's performance to new heights. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of Decision Training, providing you with expert insights, advanced techniques, and detailed breakdowns to help you outperform your opponents on the basketball court. Whether you're a coach, player, or basketball enthusiast, this guide is your key to unlocking the full potential of Decision Training. Understanding Decision Training Decision Training is a revolutionary method that focuses on enhancing basketball IQ, decision-making skills, and situational awareness. This innovative approach goes beyond technical drills and places players in realistic game scenarios, challenging them to make split-second decisions and execute the most effective actions. By implementing Decision Training, your team can gain a significant advantage by developing a deeper understanding of the game and making smarter decisions on the court. Key Principles of Decision Training 1. Realistic Game Scenarios Decision Training places players in realistic game scenarios to replicate the pressures and challenges faced during actual games. This includes simulating various offensive and defensive situations, such as fast breaks, pick-and-rolls, and defensive rotations. By experiencing these scenarios in practice, players develop the ability to make quick and accurate decisions under pressure. 2. Read and React The Read and React principle is a central component of Decision Training. Players learn to read the defense, anticipate actions, and react accordingly. This involves recognizing defensive rotations, identifying passing lanes, and making intelligent choices based on the given situation. The focus is on teaching players to think critically and make effective decisions in real-time. 3. Skill Integration Decision Training integrates technical skills seamlessly with decision-making abilities. Players are encouraged to apply their shooting, passing, dribbling, and defensive skills in the context of game situations. This integration ensures that decision-making and execution go hand in hand, allowing players to make the most effective plays based on their skill sets. Implementing Decision Training To successfully implement Decision Training, teams must focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your team's performance: 1. Game-Realistic Drills Design game-realistic drills that challenge players to make decisions in high-pressure situations. Create scenarios that replicate game dynamics, incorporating offensive and defensive actions. For example, set up drills where players must make quick decisions on whether to shoot, pass, drive, or defend based on the movements of defenders and teammates. 2. Film Study and Analysis Incorporate film study and analysis as a vital part of Decision Training. Review game footage to identify decision-making opportunities, discuss different options players could have chosen, and analyze the outcomes. This process helps players develop a deeper understanding of the game, learn from their mistakes, and make more informed decisions in future situations. 3. Simulated Game Play Engage in simulated game play to provide players with realistic decision-making experiences. Organize scrimmages or controlled game situations where players can apply the decision-making skills they have learned. This allows them to practice making split-second choices, communicating with teammates, and adapting to different game scenarios. 4. Mental Preparation and Visualization Emphasize mental preparation and visualization techniques as part of Decision Training. Encourage players to visualize game situations, imagine themselves making the right decisions, and executing the desired actions. This mental rehearsal enhances their ability to make quick, accurate decisions on the court and reinforces positive decision-making patterns. The Benefits of Decision Training Implementing Decision Training offers numerous benefits that can elevate your team's performance and enhance their basketball skills. Let's explore some key advantages: 1. Improved Basketball IQ Decision Training enhances players' basketball IQ by challenging them to think critically and make quick decisions in realistic game situations. Through repetitive exposure to these scenarios, players develop a deeper understanding of the game, anticipate actions, and make smarter choices on the court. This heightened basketball IQ translates into more efficient gameplay and a competitive edge over opponents. 2. Enhanced Decision-Making Skills By incorporating Decision Training into your team's practice regimen, players develop enhanced decision-making skills. They learn to assess options, analyze the defense, and choose the most effective actions in real-time. This ability to make split-second decisions under pressure leads to improved game management, better shot selection, and heightened situational awareness. 3. Increased Game Awareness Decision Training cultivates a heightened sense of game awareness among players. They learn to read the defense, identify open teammates, and exploit defensive vulnerabilities. This increased game awareness allows players to make timely passes, find scoring opportunities, and make defensive plays that disrupt opponents' strategies. The result is a team that is more in sync, anticipates plays, and maximizes scoring chances. 4. Enhanced Communication and Team Chemistry Decision Training fosters effective communication and strengthens team chemistry. Players learn to communicate their decisions, provide feedback to teammates, and coordinate their actions on the court. This open line of communication enhances teamwork, builds trust, and creates a cohesive unit that operates with synchronicity. As a result, the team becomes more cohesive, making faster and more efficient decisions collectively. 5. Transferrable Skills The skills developed through Decision Training are highly transferrable to game situations. The ability to make quick decisions, read the defense, and execute plays under pressure can be applied across various basketball scenarios. These skills not only benefit players during games but also in practice sessions and future basketball endeavors. Conclusion Decision Training is a game-changing approach that enhances basketball IQ, decision-making skills, and game awareness. By implementing the key principles, strategies, and techniques outlined in this guide, you will equip your team with the tools necessary to outperform opponents and maximize their basketball potential. Remember, mastering Decision Training requires practice, repetition, and a commitment to continuous improvement. So, embrace this revolutionary approach, unleash your team's decision-making prowess, and witness their transformation into intelligent, strategic players. The path to basketball excellence starts here!

Coach Hixenbaugh went 57-28 at Trinity Prep in Florida and 45-16 at Winter Park HS where he also won a 6A State Coach of the Year award. In this video, he teaches some basic offensive actions that help build players’ skills and confidence. Inverted Offense Basketball Coach Hixenbaugh shows you the Inverted Offense basketball system, which is part motion and part read-and-react. He brings bigger players away from the basket, which also brings bigger defenders away from the basket. The keys to the system are: Flexibility in player placement in order to attack the opponent’s weakest link Achieve makeable shots, primarily layups, that are created by design within the scheme Use the ball movement and motion to control tempo and eliminate turnovers Eliminate a size disadvantage by inverting guards and posts Using 5-on-0 actions, you will see how Coach Hixenbaugh uses three breakdown drills and three buildup drills to teach the inverted basketball offense. As the drills progress, a new player is added as is a new layer to the offense. Players learn to read the defense and take what is given.

This helps to improve rebounding against bigger teams. The zone is a modified version of a 3-2 zone where the bottom defenders are to “tip” the rebound to a teammate. Coaches around the country are at the mercy of the players they get in their program. They are not all blessed with great athletic talent, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be competitive.

Coaching Middle School Basketball: Wheel Offense by Nick Cammarano Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Nick Cammarano (Rental)-Coaching Middle School Basketball: Wheel Offense $15.99
WITH NICK CAMMARANO, FRANK ANTONIDES (NJ) MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL COACH ABOUT THE COACH He has a very high win percentage throughout his career. This is seen in his two undefeated seasons by which the 30-0 streak in 2003 stands out quite prominently. He has one run in the Roses championship. Throughout his career, he has about 284 career wins in the fifteen seasons which he was actively involved in. he is the one who established and is currently the director of the QBI which stands for the Quality Basketball Camps. WHAT THE VIDEO OFFERS For most lower level basketball teams and leagues, the defence zone can be described as an instrument which is used regularly on the field to increase the understanding of the game which is shown by the players. The wheel offence is such a good tool on the field due to the various advantages which it gives. One such advantage is that the players would have a lot of scoring chances suddenly opened up to them. The coach Nick due to his experience which spans over 15 years in offence is competent enough to explain how the wheel offence can be done in this video. To help demonstrate how this set or drill is being played, the coach decides to use a white board and on-court descriptions to drive him his point. The first thing he does is to make sure you know the importance of the wheel offence and why it is so important when being used to unlock the zone defence tactics. Then post players in your team when using the wheel offence would be the one to create the chances which are meant to lead to a scoring chance for the guards who are already well positioned. The coach helps people watching the video to understand that for the wheel offence to work well, there has to be spacing. The coach makes the drills simply to understand by dividing them into several other shorter drills. These drills would include cut-to-swing, shoot-to-penetrate and so much more. Through the use of simulators or situations which have the likeness of a game, Coach Nick teaches his players through the video what to do to perfect the wheel offence. For example, he uses the 5 players against another five to show the easiest players to perform these drills. Apart from this, the Coach has also allowed for some drills which are quick counter in nature. These drills have the capability of taking the opponents for surprise and getting a wonderful opportunity to score especially against a team who is using the zone defence. For example, the act of overloading some of the zones could actually be a good counter move and will result in a scoring opportunity. The truth is that zone defences can be quite tricky to break down. However, if you wish to find their point of weakness, it is important that you learn the wheel offence successfully. This would give you an easier way with zone defences.

In this video, she shares some of the drills she used to help the Volunteers dominate the boards and spark their transition game.

The drills are all game-like and simulate a specific aspect of rebounding. One works on sprinting out of help position to box out. Another works on securing a defensive rebound and pushing the ball to half-court in less than two seconds. The War Drill To help gain an understanding of rebounding as a team effort, Warlick demonstrates the War Drill. Players start from a disadvantaged state and ultimately work up to a 5-on-5 competitive situation. The drill focuses on competitive rebounding and flowing into the transition offense in the hopes of obtaining quick scoring opportunities.

Players compete in a 5-on-5 scrimmage drill that forces players to communicate and react quickly to obtain their goals. This is one of the staple drills that have been part of Tennessee basketball for a long time. Like her predecessor, Coach Warlick used these drills to build toughness in her teams.
