Half Court Defense from the Ground Up San Diego State head coach Brian Dutcher has a long history of building shut-down defenses. An assistant under long-time head coach Steve Fisher at both Michigan and San Diego State, Dutcher has been instrumental in leading the Aztecs to ten Mountain West titles and two appearances in the Sweet Sixteen. In this half court defense video, Dutcher shows you how to build a defense from closeouts to weak side positioning, post defense, double teams, beating ball screens, and much more. You will benefit from Dutcher’s years of experience on the defensive side of the ball. All the drills and techniques that he has used to produce outstanding defenses at both Michigan and San Diego State are on display here. Closeouts and Weak Side Positioning If you want to be good on defense, your players must have the ability to closeout. Coach Dutcher presents three drills to teach the technique and weak side positioning through closeout drills that begin in a 1-on-1 situation and progress to 2-on-2. Top and Bottom I is a drill that focuses on seeing the ball from the weak side, helping on dribble penetration, and then recovering with a closeout in a 2-on-2 situation. Post Defense The heart of any defense is defending the post. Coach Dutcher shows you multiple drills to help defend the post, including a drill that works on all phases of half-court post defense. You will also learn how you can effectively double team a post player. Coach Dutcher shows you how his teams double the post and then rotate out of traps in any scenario. Meeting of Three and 4-on-4 Stunting Meeting of Three is a drill that teaches players how to defend floppy action or pin down screens. The drill is great because it utilizes multiple athletes so there isn’t any standing around. Players learn individually and as a team how to defend these actions. The 4-on-4 Stunting Drill is Coach Dutcher’s take on a 4-on-4 Shell Drill, but it emphasizes stunting and closing out. Ball Screen Defense At all levels of basketball, defenses are facing the ball screen. As a result, you need to be proficient in defending against ball screens. Coach Dutcher shows you how to attack the popular motion ball screen offense. You will see a 2-on-2 breakdown drill that helps you practice reading ball screens. The final drill in the segment is a competitive ball screen cutthroat drill. If you want to build a dominant half court defense, this is the video for you. In 85 minutes, Coach Dutcher will show you exactly how to construct a defensive system that has helped his teams consistently finish among the nation’s best defenses year after year.

Andy Toole: Individual and Team Shooting Drills Robert Morris head coach Andy Toole expands your shooting drill library with this presentation designed to increase your team’s shooting ability. The 2014 NEC Coach of the Year breaks down his shooting drills into those for pre-practice, practice, and team drills during practice. Coach Toole helps players identify a good shot, which is a key in developing better basketball players. Pre-Practice Drills Players learn the concept of a good shot in a series of three pre-practice shooting drills. The drills train a player to be ready to shoot at all times. One of the most difficult things for players is to be prepared to shoot when open. Toole addresses that by emphasizing footwork and catching form so that players are ready to shoot when open. Attacking the Pass is a drill that puts footwork and catching form against a defensive closeout. A better catch beats the closeout. This drill helps players develop a consistent shot that will be successful at a high percentage. Toole builds on that footwork in the Nine Shot drill where players learn to shoot off of screens. Sweeps is another drill series that produces high percentage shots. Practice & Team Drills Coach Toole works on a critical area of shooting – penetration shots.
