Corey Williams, a former NBA player, knows the value of building a strong defensive team from his experience playing on the 1993 NBA Champion Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan, Scottie Pipen and under the guidance of coach Phil Jackson. In this video presentation, Williams shares his philosophy and teaches viewers how to instill defensive toughness and limit opponents' scoring options. Williams emphasizes the importance of effort, energy, and passion in playing defense. His goal is to frustrate opponents by not allowing them to have easy access to the middle of the court. By forcing the ball towards the sidelines, Williams limits the opponent's ability to reverse the ball and beat the backside of the defense on rotations. He also teaches the importance of active hands and making ball handlers feel uncomfortable, which ultimately forces them to play according to the team's style of basketball. The video includes drills and progressions to teach viewers how to build defensive pressure, maintain active hands, and communicate effectively on defense. Williams also demonstrates how to use 2-on-2, 3-on-3, 4-on-5 drills to teach players how to come together during dribble-handoff situations, scramble out of a skipped pass, and rotate on a baseline drive. He also includes individual build-up drills such as the Pat Beverly Drill, the Name Drill, and the Block-Out Drill to help players learn terminology, rotations and force players out of the middle. Overall, Williams' video is an excellent resource for coaches and players looking to improve their team's defense. It provides clear and detailed instructions on how to keep opponents out of the middle of the floor and smother their offense along the sideline.

In this article, Coach Nick Pasqua delves into the intricacies of using the 1-3-1 half-court zone defense as a tool for changing the pace of a game and slowing down opposing offenses. He explains the positioning of players, their individual assignments, and movements within the defense, as well as key rules to follow. He also provides valuable insight into when to switch to other defenses, such as the 2-3 zone or man-to-man, depending on the situation. Coach Pasqua begins by discussing the role of the top defender (#3) in the zone, who is positioned between the extended lane lines in the middle of the floor and is responsible for making the ball handler uncomfortable by stunting towards the ball. The forwards (#1 and #2) play flat across the middle, using the three-point line as a restraint, while the center (#5) stays between the ball handler and the basket. The bottom defender (#4) stays one step outside the lane line on the same side as the ball. Coach Pasqua then delves into adjustments that offenses may make to the 1-3-1 defense, and provides ways to counter those adjustments, such as how to defend skip passes, passes to the middle of the floor, and ball screens. He also breaks down the installation of the defense, including drills to teach and perfect it. One of the drills Coach Pasqua demonstrates is the 1-3-1 Defense 4-on-4 Drill, which emphasizes stunting at the ball, stunting at passes, and filling gaps. The key teaching points of this drill include close-outs on the ball with one hand and how to use "hit and get" technique during rebounding opportunities when a shot is taken. In a 5-on-5 live-action sequence, Coach Pasqua teaches ball screen defense and stresses that when ball screens are used against a zone defense, man-to-man principles should be applied. He demonstrates several defensive slides and movements that can thwart these offensive attempts to open up scoring opportunities. Throughout the article, Coach Pasqua provides valuable insight, drawing on his experience as the Head Coach at Converse University, as well as his tenure at Wesleyan University, where he compiled a 49-26 record over 4 seasons, led the Warriors to a 20-win season in 2020, and won the school's first ever Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship in 2020. He also shares his experience as Tusculum Head Coach from 2016 to 2017, where he set a school record for most three-pointers made and attempted in a season in 2017. He also played collegiately at King University.

Put on the pressure without being reckless! You can apply a lot of pressure and not see an increase in fouls Reduce complexity without compromising its effectiveness A simple, but effective countermeasure that streamlines your ball screen coverage is a good idea. As Brad Underwood has shown many times, good defense can transform a program. Underwood transformed an Illinois basketball team that was ranked 330th nationally in defensive efficiency into a top-ranked defensive team. Underwood did this by changing some key points in his defensive philosophy and teaching his players that vision. This video will show you the drills and principles that are used to create a top-five defensive program. Defensive Principles Any defense must reduce fouls, easy baskets, and open 3-pointers. To guide his team from the bottom up to the top, Coach Underwood needed to focus on just one concept at a given time. He learned from the Milwaukee Bucks, the greatest team in the world. This taught him how to make every game winnable and not foul. As a coach, one of the most important principles to control is your team's communication skills and listening abilities. You can improve your players' listening and communication skills by changing the pick up point or ball screen principles. Your defenders will be able to communicate early, loud, and often so that they can process the screen quickly and move on. Coach Underwood shows you how to use your closeouts and force 3-point shooters to shoot mid-range jumpers instead. Underwood also explains how to use On-Ball Defense to keep your opponent's ball handlers on the one side of the floor. This will allow you to not have to break down or rotate defensively. You can "guard your yard" and keep ball handlers on one side of the floor. Shell Drill You will see Coach Underwood's defensive strategies in action in a 5v5 game. Your players will be taught to remove driving lanes and fill in gaps that can make it difficult to see. Athletes also learn to throw their hands up in contesting a shot, which forces the offense away at the 3-point line. Underwood's approach to defense focuses on closeouts. He walks you through wing drives and middle drives as well as ball screens and post defense. The Shell Drill will teach you how to defend and teach one pass away, as well as side defense. Teaching the flat triangle to players who are only one pass away will change the way they can attack the driving lanes. As they go through Shell Drill, Coach Underwood says that he is always looking for the rhythm in his defense. They have become one of the most respected defensive teams in the country because of this rhythm. It is not easy to teach an old coach new things. You have to modify the way you teach when your team is having trouble defensively. That was the lesson Coach Underwood learned and had to change his defensive strategy. He has helped Illinois return to the championships with his new vision and philosophy. This video is great and shows how you can make small changes to your philosophy to turn around your program! 70 minutes. 2022.

Kent State University head coach Rob Senderoff opens up your creative basketball mind with this open practice video full of useful drills. Senderoff has guided the Golden Flashes to a MAC regular season title (2015) and a MAC tournament championship (2017) during his tenure. Part of his success comes from a collection of skills drills that he and his staff utilize throughout a season and in the offseason. Watch as Coach Senderoff takes you through individual and small group drills to develop both offensive and defensive skills. Individual & Small Group Drills This practice begins with skill drills like ball handling. You will see a two-ball dribbling drill and then players move into 2-on-0 layup drills where they work on different finishes. Next, players work on cutting and passing but within the framework of Kent State’s offense. Passing off drives and cutting and screening after post feeds are covered here. Coach Senderoff has his players do two rebounding drills where different block outs and crashing the boards are emphasized. The aggressive mindset is further developed with the Offensive Rebound Extra Pass Drill. Offensive & Defensive Drills The next segment of practice is dedicated to offense and defense. Players learn to play under pressure in the Virginia and Ball Pressure Drills. Senderoff has players run different options in their transition offense. This segment ends with the team reviewing how to handle ball screens in a 5-on-5 situation. Watch and see how Senderoff and his staff maximize their time on the court by coaching both sides of the ball during these drills. O-D-O At the conclusion of the practice, Senderoff has his players run O-D-O. The drill starts with a half-court setting. The offense runs its offense, then must convert to transition offense and then again to transition defense. Once that series is complete, the team that started on defense goes to offense and the drill is run again. You will see a number of excellent drills that you can add to your existing repertoire! NABC On the Court Open Practice with Jamion Christian: Man-to-Man Set Plays, Ball Screen Reads, and Breakdown Jamion Christian, head coach at George Washington University, is known for executing set plays within an aggressive offensive system that dates back to his time at Siena and Mount St. Mary’s. In this open practice video, he shows you a number of those plays and shows you how your players can read the different looks they see from a defense. Christian won the Northeast Conference Coach of the Year award in 2017 after leading Mount St. Mary’s to a league championship, a conference tournament victory, and a berth in the NCAA tournament. There is something in this video for every coach. Offensive Package Half of the practice is spent on going through sets that lead into the ball screen offense. Players are taught how to read defenses, where to set screens, how to find open cutters, and various points of attack. Once the sets have been mastered, the half-court offense is reviewed. A variety of options are covered including attacking the rim and kicking the ball out for three-point attempts. Christian takes the time to reinforce the concepts that he wants his players to learn. Position Work Christian’s players develop a better sense of where shots should come from within the offense through position work. Post players, for example, work on footwork and passing against a defender. They also work on finishing as coaches use pads to make them go against contact. At the same time, guards work on coming off screens and attacking the paint. They also work on finishing at the rim or kicking the ball back out to a perimeter shooter. Defensive Situations
