Eric Konkol: Drag Screen-Based Transition Offense If Louisiana Tech head coach Eric Konkol knows anything, it is the drag screen transition offensive attack. Konkol took over the Louisiana Tech program in 2015 and promptly set a school record for wins (23) by a first-year head coach. He won another 23 games in his second season and is winning nearly 65 percent of his games using a transition offense that relies heavily on spacing and the ability to create open 3-point shot attempts. In this video, Konkol shows you his primary and secondary fast break offenses as well as the drills that have helped him develop one the nation’s most effective and efficient offenses. You will see how Konkol teaches players to play not just run plays. It is a simple philosophy that any coach from junior high to the NBA can use. Breakdown Drills for the Primary Break Konkol starts his practices with a series of five two-minute drills that serve as his team’s warm up. The drills help to build players’ conditioning level as well as teach the options on the primary fast break. You will also see variations of the Celtic Fast Break Drill which continue to build conditioning as well as teach the flow into the secondary break. If you use the Celtic Drill, you will see how you can easily implement Coach Konkol’s adjustments. Konkol also introduces you to the Tennessee Drill and the Advantage Progression Drill using on-court demonstrations. These drills teach players to make quick decisions against a live defense. Konkol uses these drills to break down and build up the transition offense and simply teach players to play basketball. Drag Screen Secondary Break The heart of what Konkol does with his offense utilizes three drag screen breaks all of which are demonstrated here. The Rocket 4, Rocket 5, and Double Rocket are three breaks that transition from the primary fast break to the half-court offense. Konkol also demonstrates for you a number of 5-on-5 and 5-on-4 situations that he uses in practice to teach players how to read a defense and find the first available quality shot. In 75 minutes, Konkol teaches you how to teach your players to play at a fast pace using a simple yet effective offense that is easy to understand. Using Konkol’s ideas, you can install the transition offense in no time.

Open Practice: Defending Ball Screens and Transition Defense Oakland University men’s basketball coach Greg Kampe has developed a defensive system that has helped the Grizzlies battle some of the top programs in the country. Kampe, the third-longest tenured coach in Division I basketball, has over 500 career wins. His success can be traced directly to his up-tempo offense and his outstanding transition defense. In this video, Kampe opens the doors to an Oakland practice and shares practice drills, concepts, and more. You will see nine defensive breakdown drills as well as how to build your transition defense. Finally, Coach Kampe covers ball screen defense in an attempt to limit opponents’ scoring opportunities. Transition Defense The first priority of any transition defense is to get back quickly and protect the rim against an easy basket. Coach Kampe begins his talk about transition defense by identifying three things that are absolutely necessary: 1) protect the basket, 2) stop the ball, and 3) defender any trailers. Coach then demonstrates three drills that are included in the first part of every Oakland practice early in the season: 5-on-5, 5-on-4, 5-on-3 Drill: The defense works on protecting the rim in a disadvantage situation until teammates can recover and get matched up. DDM to Transition Defense Drill: Players learn to sprint back on defense after running an offensive set to protect the rim. Pro Drill: Defenders compete in a multiple of disadvantage situations ranging from 2-on-1 to 5-on-4. Ball Screen Defense With a team full of similar sized players, switching on ball screens makes sense. In situations where mismatches can be created, Coach Kampe teaches the hard hedge. Both of these concepts are developed in a pair of drills. The 3-on-3 to 50 Drill teaches players to aggressively switch on ball screens. The 4-on-4 Pitch Out drill is where players recognize whether they should switch or hard hedge. The 4-on-4 Continuous Screening drill gives players repetitions to help in the fighting of down screens. The 3-on-3 Cross Screen drill shows you a unique strategy for intercepting passes on screen aways. The 4-on-4 Down Screen/Cross Screen drill puts both tactics together and challenges players to defend screen-the-screener actions. Coach Kampe is one of the most respected coaches in the nation. His video can help any coach at any level improve on defense to play with anyone on their schedule.

He discusses positioning and strategy which includes taking away a primary ball handler, clock/tempo management, and clamping on makes and misses. Man-to-Man Full-Court Press The 55 Press, or the man press, is where Coach Clark’s pressing philosophy starts. You will see how Clark adjusts his team’s alignment against “Stack” and “4-Across” press breaks. In a 5-on-5 setting, Coach Clark demonstrates both trapping and the run-and-jump options as well as how to take away a team’s primary ball handler. Coach Clark emphasizes what he feels is the most important component of the full-court pressure defense – the help and recover. You will see a full breakdown of defensive recovery and a breakaway drill that focuses on the skill. The drill helps teams create turnovers even when they are in a disadvantaged state. 2-2-1 Zone Press Coach Clark reveals two versions of his 2-2-1 zone press. Blue is the passing version which forces opponents to use up time on the clock while breaking it. Red is the aggressive version and looks to create ball pressure and successful traps to create turnovers. He also discusses “clamping the ball” off a missed shot and shows you how to trap a defensive rebound in an effort to slow down an opponent’s fast break. Coach Clark’s defense is sure to get opponents out of their normal attack. Apply pressure that can adjust to any press offense and be disruptive all over the court!

Post Player Drills - For An Undersized Post Player Post play is almost a forgotten art these days. In this presentation by former NBA All-Star Adrian Dantley and former NBA assistant coach Barry Hecker, learn how to develop the undersized post player. Dantley was one of the best small forwards to dominate the post. He was just as effective in the post as he was on the wing and most of that can be attributed to his work on the fundamentals of post play. In this video, Dantley shares a workout for post players that should become a daily routine, in-season as well as in the offseason. They are the same drills that led to his successful career and eventual induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Developing Footwork & Finishing The workout starts with footwork in the post and progresses to automating finishes close to the basket. The routine ends with techniques for turning athletes into tough scoring machines. Also included in the video is a segment on the hook shot. It is one of the most underused moves in today’s game, but was the go-to move for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA’s all-time scoring leader. Dantley demonstrates the move, teaches it, and then shows you how to combine it with other moves to finish at the rim. Even smaller players can use the hook shot to avoid being blocked by taller players. Fundamental Drills for the Low Post Dantley then shifts to the low post where he shows you the fundamental drills he used to develop his game. One of the staples is the Mikan Drill, which can help any player be more efficient around the hoop. Dantley also works the drop step another effective way to seal defenders and attack the rim. During his career, Dantley was a complete player and took defenders to the perimeter. He shares drills and techniques he used there as well. He demonstrates the forward pivot and reverse pivot and how to use the pivot to increase scoring options. This on-court demonstration comes from one of the game’s all-time greats and is great for motivated young players and coaches who want to develop their post play from the ground up.

Barry Hecker has been teaching the college, NBA players and the youth how to shoot basketball for 40 years now. The video features an on court presentation, the shooting progression workout developed by Coach Hecker is very effective and every talented and goal orientated player show practice that daily. In his shooting progression he breaks down the some of the useful aspects of shooting like the fundamentals of shooting, different shooting drills and also shares one of the most underrated and forgotten weapons of Basketball. So, how the Coach Hecker starts with the basic rules of good shooting: balance. This method sounds really easy but when it comes to performing it with perfection almost every other player fails at this. So how do you perfect your balance? Well, it all starts with a footwork that allows the player to square up to the basket and then jump straight up. The other part of making your balance good is getting the feet in the right position. A lot of amazing balancing techniques have been introduced by Coach Hecker to improve balance, including jump stops and reverse and forward pivots. One more thing he focuses more on is keeping the butt low and the head up while working on these skills. Some Forgotten Techniques Finding the seams of the ball is one of shooting mystery that so many players seem to forget. The proper rotation comes when the players place the fingers on the same spot when they catch the ball. Coach Hecker also explains the proper shooting form. He uses five pound dumbbell, this helps to solve three main shooting problems. For the perfection of jump shots Coach Hecker uses simple drills and teaching points that will make your players understand everything pretty quickly. There are so many benefits of these drills like it brings consistency to your shot making and balance. Coach Hecker also shares interesting ways to help players learn how to better shoot the ball. One of his best is the "get it up drill." He uses a hula-hoop to teach shooters how to avoid a flat shot by creating a better arc on the ball. The Underrated Hook Shot The other forgotten method is the hook shot and Coach Hecker also gives huge importance to that as well. This technique is very rare but still it has its importance and it is nearly impossible to defend. The proper technique can be developed by following the shooting drills. He then gets his players on the court to work the shot around the rim and while attacking the rim.
