Terry Carroll, a nationally acclaimed basketball coach, has perfected the art of breaking down full court pressure. He has created a full court offense that is aggressive and foolproof. It's called the Second Cutter Press Break Offense. This offense is unstoppable thanks to its second cutter feature, which yields consistent results. Carroll shows the versatility of his pressbreaker by using it against multiple full and half court presses. He starts with the inbounds passer and assigns each position its specific duties. Interchangeable positions enable a deep bench of people to take part in this offensive attack. This multi-purpose press breaker will help you maintain consistency in your productive practices. Carroll's offense is versatile and can be used against any type of press. 57 minutes. 2009

See how he assigns players to certain roles suited to their strengths. Training players in Lewis’s system helps the defense build a wall around the pain and force tough shots early in possessions. Closeouts Great defensive teams understand how to change their approach depending upon their opponents. Coach Lewis goes through three drills to help perfect the closeout and on-ball defensive technique while learning how to vary a defender’s aggressiveness depending on the player he is guarding. The “2-Man Ball Screen” drill is a great way to teach defenders closeouts in game situations. Protecting the Paint Modern offenses really test defenses in getting to the rim. Coach Lewis has found new ways to help his defense protect the paint. You will see how players stunt to help on dribble penetration and defend baseline drives. The “3-on-3 Gauntlet” drill shows how you implement these ideas and prevent teams from getting touches in the paint. Defending Screens The final part of the package is defending screens. You’ll see how Coach Lewis emphasizes switching on screens. His strategy helps neutralize slips and smothers great perimeter shooters.

At the University of North Florida, head coach Matt Driscoll has developed a reputation for playing fast and with tempo. His teams have won three Atlantic Sun championships (2015, 2016, 2020) and Driscoll was named conference Coach of the Year in each of those three seasons. In this video, Coach Driscoll offers a variety of drills to speed up your offense. Warm Up One of the other key parts of this video is Driscoll’s press break. The Ospreys actually warm up with two drills that work on breaking a press. The Scrape Drill is done without a defense and works on making certain reads. The second drill is a two-guard press break that focuses on making quick decisions when the first option of the press break is taken away. You will also see a shooting drill that works on jump shots from different angles and three-pointers in the Red Zone shooting drill. Players get a ton of shots as they prepare for practice. Practice The heat turns up as players go 1-on-1 in the next part of practice. The Four-Second drill starts with a ball on a chair at the top of the key. On the whistle, an offensive player grabs the ball, reverse pivots, and the live 1-on-1 begins. Next are a series of 3-on-0 and 3-on-3 drills that focus on transition offense. Laker 3-on-0 and Heat 3-on-3 work on passing, catching, and finishing at full speed. Full Court Build Up gets players moving as they go from 2-on-1 to 5-on-5. The Rinse Drill works on different press and trap scenarios. These are great drills for working on the transition offense as well as transition defense. If you are looking to speed up your offense and style of play, Coach Driscoll is one of the most knowledgeable college coaches in the country. His live practice examples and guidance can help any coach instill intensity and an up-tempo style of play.

Pressure Defense Basketball Video: Traps, Run & Jump, and Diamond Press Radford University head coach Mike Jones has used pressure defense basketball traps to help find success. Radford won the Big South Tournament in 2018, earned a trip to the NCAA tournament, and Jones was named the conference coach of the year. In this video, Jones discusses the keys to good traps, the run and jump press, and the Diamond press. He also includes drills that help to increase tempo and create turnovers. Goals of a Pressing Defense Before he breaks down the different presses he has used, Jones talks about what he wants from the pressure defense. These include: Creating turnovers as often as possible Forcing quick and bad shots Forcing tempo and disrupting flow Being difficult to prepare for Making the offense uncomfortable and tired Making offensive depth a factor Trapping Fundamentals For pressure defense basketball traps to be successful, players must know how to trap. Coach Jones wants traps to be elastic meaning the trap must contain the ball handler and not allow him/her to get out of the trap with a pivot. Jones also addresses “not breaking the glass” as a way to teach how to not foul. Jones uses a 3-on-3 trapping drill to teach rotations in and out of traps as well as trapping fundamentals. 3-on-3 Circle Trap uses two trappers and an interceptor who reads the eyes of the ball handler. “Roose Stunting” is taught in a 3-on-3 situation with off-ball defenders executing stunts. Man-to-Man Run & Jump The run and jump pressure starts with the “mad man,” or on-ball defender. Other defenders remain one-third of the way between their man and the ball waiting to stunt or trap. With the trap set, Jones covers the responsibilities of the other defenders. The interceptor plays between the three nearest receivers and reads the eyes of the ball handler. You will also hear how players are to react to passes out of traps. 1-2-1-1 Full-Court Press The 1-2-1-1 or Diamond Press starts by inviting the ball to the “coffin corner” where a trap can be made immediately. Once trapped, the interceptor then reads the eyes of the ball handler in an attempt to get a deflection or steal. The Diamond press is designed to increase the tempo of a game and create turnovers that lead to easy baskets. Jones finishes the presentation by going over adjustments, the role of the baseline runner, and an how to defend the reversal pass. If you want to make offenses uncomfortable, Coach Jones video is for you. Rent this pressure defense basketball DVD today.

Post Play to Dominate the Paint Effective post play can help teams win championships. Dave Vander Meulen, former head coach at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, discusses his post play training techniques in this video. Vander Meulen was the head coach at UWW for 23 years accumulating 440 wins, a .707 winning percentage, and two NABC Division III Coach of the Year awards. Watch as Coach Vander Meulen gives you drills and skills to teach post play on both sides of the ball. Body Control Successful post play starts with understanding how to use your body as a weapon. If a post player knows how a defender is playing him, he can use his body to open up scoring lanes. Coach Vander Meulen goes into detail about how players should stay wide to create position and open up space to operate. Developing a feel for where a defender is can help a post player generate scoring opportunities and open passing lanes. Counters All post players have a set of moves they like to use. Over time, defenders will learn to take away their most effective scoring moves. Posts must then develop counters to these moves. If a post player has a great baseline scoring move, he must also have a counter for when a defender takes away the baseline. Coach Vander Meulen covers the drop step baseline, up and under, face up, and hook shot moves. He then helps posts work on developing an effective counter move when these moves are taken away. Straddle the Leg By straddling the leg of a post player, a post defender is able to “half” the offensive player’s body. This allows the defender to cover the top and the bottom sides at the same time and prevents the defender from getting sealed. You will see Coach Vander Meulen explain how to use this technique and use your body to move with the offensive player. This makes it tough for an entry pass while also taking away passing lanes. Many of the basics of post play are reviewed by Coach Vander Meulen in one convenient package. This video can help your post players score more by using their best moves as well as their counters. Defensively, your post players will become more adept at controlling their body allowing them to improve their defensive play.

Big Man Ball Handling An often overlooked facet of post player’s game is ball handling. Coach Starkey takes his players through a series of six drills all designed to improve dribbling, catching, and passing.

You will see a few Two-Ball Handling drills that help to maximize your practice efficiency by improving both hands at once. One-Handers is a drill to help post players develop soft hands when calling for the ball in the post. Scoring Moves Less is more in Coach Starkey’s philosophy related to scoring moves.

The Rocket Offense: Pro Style Transition Ball-Screen Sets & Breakdowns Five-time Indiana high school state champion coach Jeremy Bialek shows you a ball screen motion offense similar to that used by Mike D’Antoni of the Houston Rockets in this captivating video. The offense puts players in the right spots for easy shots and teaches players how to read defenses and react accordingly. Coach Bialek knows a thing or two about offense having won over 400 career games, six conference titles, and the last four ICBA state championships in the state of Indiana. His ball screen motion offense gives players numerous scoring opportunities and can be used in transition or in the half-court. Running the Rocket Offense The Rocket Offense has been so successful for Coach Bialek because it provides players with great angles of attack and tremendous scoring opportunities whether in transition or in the half-court offense. The offense is centered around always having two ball handlers. Either ball handler is to continually focus on getting the ball up the floor as quickly as possible. The idea is to push the pace and stretch the floor in an effort to draw out help side defenders. This will permit either attempts at attacking the rim or the ability to hit post players rolling to the basket. Teams will begin to defend the offense’s transition ball screens in a number of ways. One is to use the hard hedge or trap. Ball handlers learn to time it just right and hit slipping post players or back the ball out and create space once again. Players can then attack the defense again. Against the normal hedge, ball handlers use a hesitation move to create separation. This allows them to turn the corner or simply reverse the ball all the while looking for a rolling post player. Ball handlers can also look to attach the switch, especially in a mismatch situation taking advantage of a bigger, slower player. You’ll witness a number of easy entries that Bialek uses to start the offense, create movement, and get the ball to your best players for easy scoring opportunities. Coach Bialek shares with you dribble hand-off options as well as the use of double-down screens in the Rocket Offense. Rocket Offense Breakdown Drills Coach Bialek begins with a simple 5-on-0 transition drill to teach players their lanes and the spots they need to be in to create the kind of space necessary for ball screens and drives. As players become comfortable, the defense is added to help players see their reads as well as the various options available coming off a ball screen. Bialek also uses 1-on-0 and 1-on-1 drills to break down ball handler’s attacks. These drills build into 2-on-0 and 2-on-2 drills where players learn to how hit rolling post players and work on the different types of passes – bounce pass, lob, and dump pass, for example. This video is part of Coach Bialek’s 2-pack and is a tremendous break down of the pro-style ball screen offense. Learn the drills, the reads, and the best sets to put your players into positions where they can be successful with Coach Bialek’s Rocket Offense. Rent the Rocket Offense DVD today.

Basketball Transition Sets & Effective Out-of-Bounds Plays More and more teams are focusing on transition offense at all levels of basketball. East Tennessee State head coach Steve Forbes, a 27-year coaching veteran, addresses transition offense as well as inbound plays that he has had success with. Forbes has worked under some of the best coaches in the business including Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, Tennessee’s Bruce Pearl, and Texas A&M’s Billy Gillespie. Forbes spent two seasons at Northwest Florida State and led his teams to back-to-back NJCAA Division 1 runner-up finishes. He also touches on his philosophy of building successful programs. Basketball Transition Sets: Quicks 1-9 Coach Forbes begins with nine quick-hitters that can be used to attack a defense in transition. Each play can be used after a make or a miss. The plays include many of the basic actions that can be used by almost any offense. Use ball screens, shuffle cuts, dribble drive actions, and more to attack a defense quickly and get open shots. Coach Forbes also includes adjustments that can be made off of many of the plays presented. The plays can also be adjusted based on personnel to take advantage of any favorable matchups. You can pick and choose which plays to use based upon your team’s skill set. Inbounds Plays You will see a series of inbounds plays that Coach Forbes has used to score quickly. Using a 1-4 low alignment, these plays use lob passes for bigs, pin down screens for the inbounder, dribble handoffs, and isolations. Coach Forbes also addresses sideline inbounds plays. Using a box formation, players utilize quick-hitting actions like flex cuts, dribble handoffs, lob passes, and more to get players good looks in key situations. Program Evaluation For Coach Forbes, basketball is much more than just X’s and O’s. His teams are taught to do things the right way and to play with intensity. To ensure that his teams are sticking to the culture, Forbes details ways in which he evaluates his program. These include: Evaluation of players by the coaching staff Evaluation of the players and program by the players Evaluation of the program by the head coach Coaches must know what their program’s strengths are and where improvements can be made. The development of the program culture is just as important as transition offense and inbounds plays, which Coach Forbes does a great job with in this 74-minute video.  Rent this basketball transition sets DVD today.

Ball Screen Drills As modern basketball continues to develop, the ball screen offense has become integral to many programs at all levels around the country. Jamion Christian, a disciple of Texas head coach Shaka Smart, is known for his ability to develop guards. Now the head coach at Siena University, Christian helps you learn how to develop your players’ vision and overall basketball IQ especially that related to coming off ball screens. Christian has a solid pedigree that began when he played for Jim Phelan and Milan Brown at Mount St. Mary’s. A three-time captain, Christian eventually served as Smart’s assistant at VCU helping the Rams reach the third round of the 2012 NCAA tournament. In six seasons at Mount St. Mary’s, he led the Mountaineers to two Northeast Conference titles and two NCAA tournament berths. If you have guards that can take the ball to the basket, Christian can help you learn how to integrate ball screens into your offense. Learning the Ball Screen Offense One of the keys to the ball screen offense is simply players’ eyes. Coach Christian can help you teach your players to keep their eyes on the paint where they can see screens develop. Seeing a player coming free off of a screen can lead to scoring opportunities and it all starts with the eyes. Learn the progression from the entry pass to the screen to the scoring opportunity. Coach Christian illustrates how guards learn to read help side defense as well as post defenders looking to take advantage of a mismatch. Guards are trained to make the right read whether that be taking the ball to the basket themselves, dumping the ball inside to a post player, or setting up a perimeter shooter for an open 3-point opportunity. Ball Screen Drills Learn the Twirl There is a certain level of skill involved in learning how to come off a screen. A high ball screen, flat ball screen, or step-up ball screen can all create scoring opportunities in any offense. In this video, Coach Christian gives you Twirl where all guards learn how to come off each type of screen in an effort to create some type of scoring opportunity. Twirl will put your guards in game-like half-court situations and allow them to develop their basketball IQ. They will also expand upon their passing skills and learn how to make the right reads as they become more comfortable with the proper passing progressions. Coaches at all levels can help their entire rosters become more knowledgeable in the area of ball screens something that is highly prevalent in today’s game. 46 minutes. 2018.
