2 Man Basketball Plays & 3-Man Game: Offensive Reads & Concepts Hamilton Honey Badgers head coach and general manager Chantel Vallee was the first female in Canada to become a professional head coach and GM. What separates her from the rest of the pack is an ability to teach the game like no other. In this 2 Man Basketball Plays video, Coach Vallee breaks down her dribble handoff action and how it is used to create an explosive, unpredictable, and un-scoutable defense. You will see demonstrations of the offense and how to master the different actions that make up the offense. Dribble Handoff Action The offense is initiated with a dribble handoff executed high up the floor. This allows for more space. Players learn how to read what defenders give them and what they may do after a handoff is made. This helps players identify easy scoring opportunities and how to make quick decisions. Missed Dribble Handoff In becoming more familiar with the offense, players must develop their basketball IQ. If players miss a handoff or if they pick up their dribble, they still have options to score. They must know these options – especially cutters – to put pressure on defenses. Post Entry If you have a strong post player that can score, bringing him/her higher up the floor can create some mismatches. Coach Vallee demonstrates a few options that include the post not putting the ball on the floor and looking to pass to a cutter right away. This creates an opportunity for the cutter and also for the post player rolling to the basket or popping out after the pass. Step Up Ball Screen Watch as Coach Vallee uses a 2-on-2 drill to break down all the possible options for defending a ball screen. Icing it, going over the top, and going under the screen are covered. Coach Vallee also demonstrates the 2-man game off-ball action as part of her Elbow series. The ball goes to the post in the middle and players create screening action off the ball and learn to read how a defense reacts. Multiple Actions Players that can master the 2-man game actions are ones that will make your team more versatile. You can use multiple 2-man games to add actions together and make it difficult for defenses to prepare. This is an excellent video for teaching players how to read defenses and to build a player’s basketball IQ. It’s a must-have for coaches looking to dominate 2- and 3-man situations.

Man to Man Offense Basketball DVD - Allowing Your Players Freedom on the Court The trend in modern basketball is to play a positionless style where all players are basically equally skilled and able to handle the basketball, pass, shoot, and post up and play inside. In order for the positionless offense to work, players must have the skills necessary and they must buy in to the approach. Triton College head coach Steve Christiansen discusses player freedom in this man to man offense baskestball video and how to incorporate it into your own system regardless of the scheme. Coach Christiansen explains the benefits of giving players freedom which allows coaches to create buy-in and, ultimately, positionless players. Basketball Practice Drills The presentation begins with Coach Christiansen explaining his coaching philosophy and why he allows players freedom on the court. His discussion provides some insight and ideas that can hopefully generate some thought in regards to your own coaching philosophy. Coach Christiansen then moves into his favorite practice drills. He starts with ball handling drills which helps develop the skills needed to play with freedom in a positionless offense. The drills progress to full-court action with an emphasis on freedom. You will watch two drills that work on decision making. The drills incorporate the ball handling skills practiced in the earlier drills. The Drive-and-Dish drill works from a 2-on-1 situation where players learn to be aggressive and read a defense all while maintaining the idea of freedom. The Cut Throat Drill is another favorite as it promotes competition and can be customized to emphasize offense or defense. It is one of several that Christiansen reviews in this segment. Man to Man Offense Basketball The presentation concludes with Coach Christiansen outlining his man-to-man offense. Players are taught to make plays from a 4-out, 1-in setup. The offense is simple to learn and allows players the type of freedom that Christiansen talks about throughout the presentation. Coach Christiansen adds in a passing drill that teaches players the flow of the offense. The idea with Christiansen’s drills, especially those that work on the man-to-man offense, is to allow players to grow and develop as they work on their game. Too often, coaches can stand in the way of players reaching their potential. Coach Christiansen shows you how to maximize player freedom in a simple offense that can help your program excel.

At UNI, Jacobson has had great success winning two Missouri Valley Conference regular season titles and three conference tournament championships. More often than not, Coach Jacobson has guided the Panthers to a top three finish in the MVC during his tenure. Learn why his sets work and how he has adapted them to build a solid foundation of play. Horns Sets In Coach Jacobson’s version of the Horns set, he puts his top two post players at the free throw line and his best shooter in the corner to create space in the defense. The posts create various screening actions which lead to multiple scoring options. Coach Jacobson focuses on the details, especially setting screens, so that his players understand how to attack the defense. Jacobson helps you understand how your players should use the various types of scoring actions. For example, in the base set a dribble hand-off into a double screen is used to allow your best shooter to turn the corner and attack the basket or pull up for an easy jump shot. Comeback Action is a play where the post sprints out and sets a ball screen for the shooting guard. Players must be able to read defenses to understand when and how to attack. 2-1-2 Sets The final segment of Coach Jacobson’s presentation focuses on a number of 2-1-2 sets where players learn to attack screens coming from the wing. Post players learn these plays are great opportunities for them to score. Posts set screens and roll back into the paint where they can seal off a defender and post up. Coach Jacobson’s presentation is full of set plays that work against any defense. This video is 67 minutes of pure offense and if you are in need of some ideas to spark your scoring, you will find it here! Rent this Horns Sets DVD today.

Half Court Offense Drills - Principles and Actions In today’s game of basketball, there is an emphasis on the up-tempo style of play. As opponents work to slow you down, teams must be able to win in the half-court offense. Bryan Petersen, head coach at Kirkwood Community College breaks down the finer points of his offense, which has been influenced by Creighton head coach Greg McDermott and Nebraska’s Fred Hoiberg. Petersen won the 2016 and 2019 NJCAA DII national championships using an offense that incorporates spacing, ball movement, screening, timing, and shot selection into its half-court offense. In this half court offense drills video, Coach Petersen shows you how he does it. Basic Motion Offense Coach Petersen talks about proper spacing and describes that as at least 15 feet from your nearest teammate. To maintain maximum spacing, players have to learn how to respond to penetration. You will see players walk through dribble penetration movements while others react accordingly. Spacing Drill Spacing is important to any type of offense, but what makes Petersen’s offense different is the level of communication. Great teams communicate and Coach Petersen stresses it here making sure that his players talk while on offense. Wing Continuity Ball Screen Offense Cutting and filling open areas is important and Petersen builds off of these concepts incorporating ball screens from the wings. You will see Coach Petersen’s “20” wing ball screen continuity offense. The offense uses a 3-out 2-in set looking to create hard closeouts and produce middle penetration at the rim. Coach Petersen shows you multiple options based on defensive adjustments. The offense is great for back-to-the-basket post players and there are options for the pick and pop post players. Petersen also throws in a couple of counters as defenses will eventually pick up on the offense’s pattern. Half Court Offense Drills Breakdown A variety of 3-on-0 drills are used to help promote strong continuity for the ball screen motion offense. Players run through various situations and adjustments. Coach Petersen incorporates more post touches and reactions in this series. Players work the 3-on-0 drills from different spots on the floor and also work on getting open when under pressure. Set Plays Coach Petersen also provides five set plays that are adjustments to what defenses try and do to the “20” offense. 1: Gets your shooter an open shot 25: Used against teams that hard hedge, this uses a back screen for your best finisher Thumbs Up: Used against teams that switch ball screens, this can get a hot shooter an open look Thumbs Down: Used to get a post touch Cyclone and Cyclone Slip: A late-game, full-court set used to get a 3-point shot If you are looking for more ways to break down opposing defenses, Coach Petersen’s video is for you!

The Fence Offense Whitman College head coach Eric Bridgeland has gone 104-14 over the past four seasons using an offense that creates space and provides plenty of easy scoring opportunities. Using the Fence Offense, Bridgeland and Whitman have gone unbeaten in conference play in each of the past two seasons. In this video, you get an inside look at how Bridgeland teaches the offense. Spacing and Positioning in the Fence Offense Players learn to space based off of the NBA 3-point line. Players move into the baseline corners, short corner post and on the sideline at the free throw line extended. Players are taught how to move and read as a ball handler gets downhill and into the paint. Bridgeland teaches players to attack the rim fast and furious looking to score off the dribble or hit a pitch, throw back, or post slide for an easy scoring chance. Coach Bridgeland has a “no standing zone” policy for players in between the baseline and free throw line where they are to be on the move. Offensive Actions Coach Bridgeland teaches a number of offensive actions. He starts with the flare screen. Players learn to over exaggerate screens to prepare them for game speed action As a ball handler attacks the paint, a weak side flare screen can set up an open 3-pointer. If not, the ball can be reversed to attack the paint again. When flares aren’t possible, dribble hand-offs can be use on the strong side of the floor. This can open up wing players to attack the rim. Off of dribble hand-offs, players have multiple options including the following: Catch and shoot Catch, fake, and shoot Catch, fake, and two-dribble attack Throw back for a shot after a paint touch Coach Bridgeland also shows you how to pair the flare screen with the dribble hand-off. You can use both actions together either on ball reversals or as your initial offensive action to get the ball into the paint for easy scoring opportunities. Reads and Film Coach Bridgeland finishes his presentation with a look at a read drill that helps players learn to read both middle and help side defenders. With the right read, players can create multiple attacking options. You will see a few game clips from previous seasons to get an idea of what the Fence Offense looks like at game speed. Coaches looking to implement the dribble drive offense can use Coach Bridgeland’s Fence Offense to reap the same benefits, but do it with much simpler teaching. Rent this Fence Offense DVD today.

On Ball Screen Offense that's Unscoutable  Today’s basketball offenses must understand the ball screen. In this presentation, Whitman College head coach Eric Bridgeland shows you how to teach your players on ball screen offense recognition and reads in an effort to increase the number of easy scoring opportunities. Bridgeland is the 2018 HoopDirt.com Division III Coach of the Year after leading Whitman to its second consecutive unbeaten conference record. In four seasons at Whitman, Bridgeland is 104-14. A big reason why the Blues have won so often is Bridgeland’s system of offense. On Ball Screen Offense Philosophy The idea of the offense is to create scoring opportunities as close to the basket as possible. Ball screens are the best way to get the ball into the paint and close to the basket. Coach Bridgeland teaches his players how to run, get into the paint, and apply constant pressure to defenses. Ball screens create the offensive action, which gives players extra incentive as they are the ones applying the ball screens. On Ball Screen Offense Guard Play There are a number of ways that defenses attack ball screen offenses: hard show, soft show, switches, and icing the ball handler. Coach Bridgeland teaches his guards how to attack each when coming off of a screen. Using 2-on-2 drills, guards learn to change their speed as they approach the screen. They can look to square up just as they pass the screener creating some misdirection. Guards can also get low using a bulldog drive into the paint. Whatever they do, your players can create advantages to get to the paint. On Ball Screen Offense Post Play Coach Bridgeland teaches his post players how to set solid screens and keep appropriate spacing. Posts learn how to pop off a screen if they have the range to help spread a defense. Posts also learn to roll to the basket by going wide outside the lane line. This allows the ball handler to continue attacking the rim and get to the paint. Bridgeland uses a 1-on-1 drill to teach post players how to set the screen and then read the help side defender and react off of him. Coach Bridgeland’s presentation ends with 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 drills where players learn to read screens at game speed. These drills help Bridgeland control the practice environment and help players adjust to the faster pace of game action. If you are looking to complement your offense with balls screens, this 81-minute video can help you master the concept. Coach Bridgeland can teach you how to open up a number of scoring opportunities using ball screens. Rent this On Ball Screen Offense DVD today.

Craig Doty: Offensive Success vs a Switching Man-to-Man Defense Teams playing against an unfamiliar defense often run into trouble. For coaches who go up against a switching man-to-man, this change-up can cause some serious headaches. Craig Doty, head coach at 2018 NAIA Division I national champion Graceland University (IA), shows you how you can gain an advantage against this type of switching man-to-man defense. Doty, the 2018 NAIA Division National Coach of the Year, also won two NJCAA Division III championships and was a two-time National Junior College Coach of the Year. In this video, he shares with you a number of useful plays that work not only against switching man-to-man defenses, but also straight up man and zone defenses. He explains each play giving you the exact spacing and timing needed. Coach Doty also explains how to take advantage of certain mismatches as they occur and also how to use analytics to improve in practices and games. Regular Man-to-Man vs. Switching Man-to-Man To take advantage of man defenses that switch, Coach Doty first demonstrates a variety of plays against a straight man-to-man. Then, he shows you the same plays against a switching man-to-man. From a Horns set, “Pro 1” begins with a pass into the post and a dive to the basket by the point guard. Instead of an open jumper or a feed into the post against straight man, the switching man defense generates a seal by the post for a high-low duck-in pass. “Pro 3” is another play run from the Horns set used to set up a help-side down screen on an entry to the elbow. Against a switching man defense, the high-low entry to the screening post player result’s in an interior mismatch that leads to easy baskets. Utilizing Early Offense Switching man-to-man defenses can cause problems in transition. Coach Doty uses post and wing interchanges and dribble handoffs to create mismatches and exploit the switches. “Harvard” and “Cross” are actions by wings that can lead to easy baskets. Sets vs. 2-3 Zone Switch principles can still apply in a 2-3 zone. You will see how down screens and flare screens are used to create open 3-point shots. “Bulldog” leads to open opportunities to the get the ball inside to a post player. “Flood” is another play designed to take advantage of the zone defense. Using Analytics Coach Doty takes some time to cover how his team uses analytics. The numbers can often tell you who should be on the floor and who should not. You can also use them to explain to players why they are successful or unsuccessful. All the plays and actions shown in Coach Doty’s video are used to create opportunities for offenses to attack defenses that switch. What he reveals is a must for anyone looking to expand their playbook and handle uncommon defenses.
