There is no question that superior guard play is one of the keys to success in modern basketball. University of Pittsburgh assistant basketball coach Kevin Sutton is one of the nation’s best at developing guards. He did while the head coach at national high school power Monteverde Academy. Sutton oversaw the development of six players who made their way to the NBA as well as over 90 that played collegiately. The heart of any successful basketball program, according to Sutton, is directly related to its guard play. Strong, explosive guards that are able to take over a game are in high demand and Sutton has spent years developing a set of drills to build the complete guard. In addition to actual basketball skills, a complete guard must also be well-versed in the game and have a high basketball IQ. Coach Sutton addresses this in his presentation. Guards must be able to handle the basketball, find open teammates for easy scoring opportunities, and have the ability to hit a game-winning 3-pointer. Sutton has designed a package of drills that work on individual skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. What makes his drills different is Sutton always has his players working in a game-like situation. The competitiveness of Sutton’s drills are what helps to build the complete guard. Along with the individual skills, Coach Sutton also presents drills to help guards set an offense, dictate the tempo of a game, and even counter certain defensive situations. Sutton has used these drills at Monteverde and also as a coach at the Nike Skill Development Academy. The drills presented in this 52-minute video can help any coach lay the foundation in building outstanding guards, the key in building a successful program at any level these days.

2018 Porter Moser Coaching Clinic Loyola University (Chicago) became the media darlings of the 2018 NCAA men’s basketball tournament with their unprecedented run to the Final Four. Now, take a look inside the program of head coach Porter Moser who shares some of his secrets from philosophy to drills that have made his program successful. The Ramblers were last year’s Missouri Valley Conference regular season and conference tournament champions and Moser, in just his fifth season at Loyola, took the Ramblers all the way to the Final Four. One of the biggest reasons for the success of Moser’s program is the culture which has three simple rules: 1) protect the team, 2) no excuses, no complaining, no entitlement, and 3) be early. Warm Up, Perfection, and Shooting Drills Porter Moser begins practice with the 130 Passes drill. The team must complete the required number of passes in one minute without the ball hitting the ground. It is a great way to get players locked in and mentally ready for the day’s practice. The next phase of practice consists of Perfection Drills which, of course, demand perfection. The drills involve layups with no defense. There are also shooting drills such as “One More Shooting” and Full-Court 3-Point Shooting” which are competitive long-range shooting drills that force players to focus and hit more shots. Skill Work Porter Moser puts his players through individual offensive and defensive skill work. On offense, the Ramblers’ philosophy is one of “pace and space” and you will see that as Moser puts his players through their offensive skill work. Moser splits the floor in half by position and demands everything be done at full speed with no detail spared. After the offensive drill circuit, players move to defense. Using a variety of drills, Moser emphasizes defensive fundamentals such as moving the feet and maintaining active hands. At the end of this part of practice, guards and post players come together to complete combined skill work with an emphasis on things like ball screens. Competitive Drills & Games The better part of the second half of the video is spent on the team drills Moser uses with his players. These drills are performed at game speed so that Moser is able to offer valuable feedback to help his players improve. His Shell Drill is unique in that it is run in the full court which demands that players remain active. To finish practice, Moser shows you two games that he uses to force players to compete. The 7, 8, 9 Free Throws Drill puts pressure on your athletes to knock down shots at the line in order to come away with a win. It is drills such as these that have helped Moser build a power at Loyola in such a short period of time. If you are looking for the type of practices you need to be successful, this 126-minute video is a great place to start. Rent this Porter Moser coaching DVD today.

Players must focus on completing every repetition with precision. Scoring The name of the game is scoring and Coach Neal has a number of drills to help your players become better scorers. Coach Neal has a certain philosophy of footwork and shows it to you in a catch and pivot drill that helps players create the space needed to score consistently. Coach Neal works dribble moves in the open floor with Dribble Cones. Players combine multiple moves to get an open jumper from the perimeter, a mid-range pull-up, or a finish at the rim. Shooting is a skill that must be developed and Coach Neal does so with three drills that force players to compete with their teammates or against a clock. The results are more accurate shooters with increased range. The drills include: Cone Shooting: helps players refine their body control and have the ability to catch the ball quickly and shoot a jump shot while on the move Two Minute Shooting: works on developing mid-range and 3-point jump shots while forcing players to move and work on their catch-and-shoot technique Beat the Pro: players take seven shots and must avoid missing three to win this competition-style drill Post Play Coach Neal helps players develop a strong pivot foot so post players can improve their primary and counter moves. These include the jump hook, jump shot, spin move, and more. Neal also works on the inside pivot move to help posts score around the rim. Pick & Roll Coach Neal teaches the pick and roll to help both perimeter and post players understand how to put all of their skills together. The Outlet Drill is one that simulates getting the ball out quickly, running the floor, and using the skills taught to get an easy scoring opportunity. All the drills included in Coach Neal’s video are high-level drills used by players at the college and professional levels. They can be used at any level to help improve basic basketball skills.

Watch as Coach Underwood shows you how to attack the zone defense, breaks down the secondary offense off transition against a zone, and shares his different looks against various zone defenses.

Coach Mack’s presentation includes drills, set offenses, baseline out of bounds plays, transition breaks, and other key offensive actions that are designed to make teams come out of their zone defense. What Coach Mack’s presentation is not is just a series of plays. It is more a guide of how to read and take advantage of the natural weaknesses found in all zone defenses. Coach Mack does detail some of his set offenses. These include: Carolina Wheel: This is a continuity zone offense that can be run against either side of the defense. The offense attacks the gray areas when you bring the wing up and also allows for the attacking of the short corner. Flash: This is a two-guard front that works to get the ball into the key. The offense continually works to get open shots and high-low action for the post players. Ball Screen the Zone: Coach Mack teaches how to ball screen zone defenses. Doing so forces the second defender out of their area and picks on players as they try and cover for one another. Bigs look to duck in and force the bottom defender to play wing and open the corner for a shot. Baseline Out of Bounds: Coach Mack shows you two set plays that he uses in a baseline out of bounds scenario. Coach Mack breaks down each play into its components, shows you the initial reads, and then shares any counters depending upon the type of shift in the zone defense.

Zone Offenses & Set Plays vs Zone Defense Teams struggle against zone defenses because offenses become passive and settle for jump shots. Toledo head coach Tod Kowalczyk has other ideas for attacking zone defenses. Attacking a zone is the key to success for Coach Kowalczyk who led the Rockets to the 2014 MAC regular season title and a school record 27 wins. Using the motion offense and set plays, Coach Kowalczyk shows you the weaknesses in any zone defense. The offense and each set play are simple to introduce at any level and Coach Kowalczyk also includes drills on how to not turn the ball over. Ball Security Drills Coach Kowalczyk starts off with four ball security drills that teach players the value of a possession. “Be the Boss with the Ball” is the mantra Coach Kowalczyk looks to get across to his players. Perfect Passing and the 60-Pass Drill force players to execute smart passes while staying aggressive. The 60-Pass Drill is competitive and gets players active and thinking about being smart with the ball. Turnovers almost always determine a game’s outcome.  Set Plays vs Zone Defense in Basketball The next segment of the video covers the zone offense. Coach Kowalczyk is a big believer in attacking a zone defense. He likes to find ways to get the ball into the high post and use ball screens to create scoring opportunities. Coach Kowalczyk has three ways to play offense: continuity, motion, and set plays. He likes to use all three against any type of zone defense. White Offense: This is a continuity offense with four different scoring actions. Watch how post players set screens and look to roll for shots around the rim. Zone Attack: This is a 4-Out 1-In motion set up. When the ball moves, perimeter players must cut as the post player looks for high post touches thereby creating numerous scoring opportunities. Set Plays: Five different set plays are demonstrated against the zone defense. Coach Kowalczyk discusses how to blend the set plays into your motion offense. The Short Corner When the ball gets to the short corner, you really get to see how Coach Kowalczyk’s offense has success against the zone defense. You will see the ball in the short corner and two actions based on the point guard cutting or the wings cutting through the zone. The results are either a great look near the basket or a wide open jump shot when the ball is reversed. In addition to demonstrating his offensive actions against zone defenses, Coach Kowalczyk demonstrates five set plays versus the 2-3 zone that result in either a low post look or an open 3-pointer. With zone defenses looking to disrupt offenses, the offense must take action and go on the attack. Coach Kowalczyk shows you how in this video. If you struggle against zone defenses, struggle no more and add this presentation to your collection. Rent his Set Plays vs Zone Defense DVD today.
