Jamie Dixon
(Rental)-On The Line Half Court Defense & Full Court Presses
$18.99
Open Practice: On the Line Half-Court Defense & Full Court Presses
Learn to build a powerful, smothering man-to-man defense from one of the best defensive minds in college basketball, TCU head coach Jamie Dixon. The former Pitt head coach, Dixon took the Panthers to 11 NCAA tournaments in 13 seasons before moving on to his alma mater. In three seasons with the Horned Frogs, Dixon has two NIT Final Fours, one NIT championship, and one trip to the NCAA tourney.
One of the big reasons for Dixon’s success is a defense that is tough to crack. In this open practice style video, you will watch as Dixon teaches in practice in whiteboard sessions and on the court. He provides a number of drills and concepts that you can use to install a successful man-to-man defense.
Individual Defensive Fundamentals
No matter what style of defense you play, great defenses are made up of strong individual defenders. Dixon builds these defenders using a series of four fundamental drills. These drills develop the closeout technique, improve instincts to jump toward the ball, challenge shots, help of dribble penetration, and play great denial defense in the post.
Disadvantage Drills
Placing defenders in disadvantaged situations forces players to unite. Dixon uses the George Karl drill to create confusion for players by forcing them to recognize the biggest offensive threats and communicate every possession. The 3-Out 1-In alignment in the Shell Drill helps players understand angles on the floor and how to defend in the post.
Two other team drills put defenders at a disadvantage and teach players to scramble and provide constant help on defense. Players have to use great positioning, communication, and technique to succeed.
Shell Drill
Dixon uses the Shell Drill to teach players how to fight through down screens and flare screens. Players get plenty of reps and Dixon provides numerous teaching points on technique. He also adds in post defense making his Shell Drill one of the most comprehensive you will find.
Help rotations are also important as they prevent easy baskets when defenders get beat by dribble penetration. Watch as Dixon breaks down the responsibility of each player in a help position and see how those players can provide support and then recover.
Transition/Press Defense
The final element of Dixon’s defensive playbook is transition defense and press defense. Dixon will show you how to protect the rim in transition and trap ball screens in man-to-man. Learn how to apply a 1-3-1 press after a free throw and create traps to force turnovers. You will also see the Diamond Press, which extends pressure to the full court.
Coach Dixon’s teams have been known for their defense throughout his career. He consistently produces lock-down defenses year-in and year-out. Learn how he does it in this excellent open practice video.
Jason Gardner
(Rental)-Offensive & Defensive Systems
$18.99
Open Practice: Offensive & Defensive Systems
Learn how to design the perfect practice, one that focuses on both offensive and defensive skills. IUPUI head coach Jason Gardner, a former All-American at Arizona, goes through a full practice layout that includes a number of individual drills as well as full team drills. The open practice covers a wide range of skills from transition offense to defensive half-court drills. Players work on man-to-man defense, weak side and help defense, and learn to defend ball screens.
Developmental Drills for Skill Improvement
No matter what level you coach, improving the basic skills of passing, ball handling, and shooting will benefit any team. Players are taken through a warm up that improve players’ abilities to make correct passes, improve condition, and teach players proper spacing while running the floor.
Gardner teaches players how to get open against defensive pressure with a variety of shell drills. The drills are dual purpose as players learn how to jump to the ball on defense and how to be at the help line. Coach Gardner has players work through defense at game speed in game situations. Drills include:
Wisconsin Passing
Weave Shooting
Shell Drill
Weak Defense on Ball Screens
Green or Hard Show
Pacer Drill
Transition Shooting
Defensive Breakdown Drills
Coach Gardner shares his breakdown drills that define his defensive system. All of his drills emphasize communication and are done at game speed so that the drills are competitive and game-like. Gardner stresses precision in the hard show and in stunting instead of switching on ball screens.
Many of Coach Gardner’s drills show athletes how to defend the post to guard screens against man-to-man defense where offenses space the floor with a variety of strategies. The shell drills are a great lead-in to the half-court defense.
You also see shooting drills that are ideal in the early offense in transition. The drills break down how to space the offense with the post getting down the floor first. The trailer follows looking for a catch and shoot from the perimeter.
Gardner’s coaching style is very low-key, but he does demand a lot from his players. He insists they pay specific attention to detail in each and every drill. There is no reason you cannot do the same with all that is presented in this 94-minute video.

Moving without the ball is a skill all players must have. Coach Lansing uses the Make 15 drill to teach players to get open against defensive pressure. Players use a bounce pass to score off of a backdoor cut. Players then work through a series of cuts while trying to make 15 consecutive layups. The actions taught in the drill are adaptable to any offense and include the following:
V-Cuts
Passing and Receiving
Pivoting
Making and Passing to the backdoor cut
Finishing in the half-court
Offensive Breakdown Drills
Lansing then gets into Indiana State’s offensive system and shows you five breakdown drills that teach it. You will watch as Coach Lansing emphasizes precision passing, cutting, feeding the post, player movement, and pushing the ball in transition. All of the drills are done at game speed and force players to compete and be precise.
Multiple drills work on feeding the post versus defensive pressure as well as spacing the floor to work on perimeter movement. The Quick Swing Drill works on using fast reversals to find an open shooter when the defense collapses into the paint.
One of Lansing’s favorite drills is Space Up Shooting. The drill breaks down how to space off of drive and kick movements. Players also use ball screens, quick swings, and post feeds as part of the drill. It is one of the many Lansing uses to teach offense. His full speed approach to practice can surely benefit your program with an amazing intensity and attention to detail.

Bob Hoffman
(Rental)-Offensive Drills & Strategies
$17.99
Open Practice: Offensive Drills and Strategies
Discover a diverse, adaptable offense that will take your team to the next level in this video from University of Central Oklahoma head Bob Hoffman. Coach Hoffman focuses on-ball screen offense, quick hitters, set plays, and more using live practice footage and whiteboard sessions. Coach Hoffman is the former head coach at Mercer University who took the Bears to their first-ever NCAA tournament back in 2014.
Before hitting the court, Coach Hoffman discusses the keys to his offense. One very simple key is keeping plays simple but adaptable in both setup and execution. This makes it easy for your players but difficult for defenses to defend you.
Another element of Hoffman’s defensive philosophy is a belief in fast tempo secondary transition. He draws up a few quick hitters from his version of the Carolina Break. These actions are used depending upon what the defense does and then easily flow right into the offense if an immediate scoring chance is not available.
Next, Coach Hoffman shares two box set plays used to score off of a delayed screen. Both plays use early screening action and can adapt into any Horns set you would like to run.
Dead ball situations are ones that Hoffman believes are scoring opportunities. You don’t just work to get the ball inbounds, but you use the play as a direct attempt to score. Coach Hoffman draws up two baseline inbounds plays to attack either man or zone defenses.
On the practice floor, Hoffman’s players run their ball screen offense in a 5-on-0 format in both full- and half-court segments. They begin in transition and then run through several series of their early offense. “Double” is one such series where both posts set a double screen for the point guard in transition. The play is simple but confuses the help defense, which must decide which player has the ball handler and the roll player.
“Chin” is another series that uses a down screen to free up a post to run into a high-ball screen without a help defender. Coach Hoffman also shows you how to flow into early ball screens in your transition offense along with variations.
The practice setting also reveals a number of other aspects of Hoffman’s offensive system. You will see four baseline inbounds plays that use stagger screens and screen-the-screener actions. There is also a segment where Hoffman’s players practice against a 1-2-2 zone using “Muscle” and “Muscle Runner” set plays. Both overload the defense and create post-ups with a high-ball screen and quick reversal to a corner shooter.
Coach Hoffman’s presentation is a culmination of 25-plus years of coaching offense. It’s a diverse and adaptable strategy that players can learn easily and keeps opposing defenses guessing.

Basketball Practice Template with Ben Jacobson
Three-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year Ben Jacobson of Northern Iowa shares his basketball practice template and drill instruction in this video to help you produce better results in live game action. Coach Jacobson has been extremely successful at Northern Iowa – he has the most career wins of any UNI head coach – and he doesn’t hold back in this open practice presentation. Jacobson shows you how he builds his on-ball and off-ball defense at Northern Iowa.
Warm-Up for Basketball Practice
The warm up portion of the presentation consists of Coach Jacobson and his staff demonstrating a number of drills used to improve footwork, balance, and the closeout. Jacobson stresses two key fundamentals – closing out to contest the shot and keeping the hands wide to defend the dribble.
The warm up drills then progress to longer closeouts where players must take short steps to remain in contact with the floor as they execute the closeout. The warm up drills progress to 3-on-3, 4-on-4, and 5-on-5 scenarios where Coach Jacobson emphasizes being light on the feet, keeping the head on a swivel, and always being ready to move.
Transition Defense Drills
Teams that win in transition are usually teams that win plenty of games. Teams must be able to convert offensively in transition when they have an advantage. Likewise, teams must be able to defend in transition when they are at a disadvantage. Coach Jacobson shares a transition drill that addresses both the offensive and defensive ends.
Half-Court Defense
Coach Jacobson’s basketball practice template concludes with two drills he uses to teach his half-court defense. Teams must have the ability to produce stops in the half-court game especially when at a disadvantage. Jacobson presents these drills:
Butler Drill: Starts as a 4-on-3 drill where the defense must communicate, cover for each other and rotate. Emphasis is on defending the ball one-on-one to reduce the number of rotations.
Shutout Drill: This is a 5-on-5 drill that teaches the defense to make stops until the 35-second shot clock runs out. The clock resets when the offense scores, gets an offensive rebound, or is fouled.
Coach Jacobson’s 72-minute basketball practice template video is a wonderful presentation if you are looking to raise the level of your team defense this season. You will see how you can organize your practices and get the most of your time on the court. Rent this basketball practice template DVD today.
