Bob Hurley Drills My All Time Favorite Practice Drills Over a 45-year career as the mentor of one of the top high school basketball programs in the nation, Bob Hurley has run just about every drill in existence. In this video, Coach Hurley shares with you his all-time favorite drills. In addition, he also talks about how he likes to organize practices. A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Hurley opens his presentation sharing some advice on coaching. Coaches should never be finished learning and should work to improve their craft. Hurley talks about practice planning, drill work, and more. Pre-Practice and Warm-Up Drills Coach Hurley’s favorite warm-up drills worked on the three foundational skills of basketball: dribbling, passing, and shooting. He shows you the Fire Passing Drill which forces players to concentrate and communicate. The Michigan State series gets players moving and finishing around the basket. Drills like Up Two, Back Two, and the Chill Drill teach players how to attack a trap and also work on change of direction moves. All of Hurley’s warm-up drills challenge players both mentally and physically. Rebounding and Closeout Drills You can’t play offense if you can’t rebound! Coach Hurley trains players to be instinctive around the basket. The Oregon Rebounding Drills helps create toughness and forces players to compete for rebounds. One of the more challenging fundamentals of defense is the closeout. Coach Hurley shares a number of drills that help to teach the technique as well as incorporate things like ball screen defense in the 4-Line Passing Drill. The 3-on-3 and 4-on-3 Closeout Drills work on defensive efficiency especially in disadvantage situations. Conversion Drill One of the reasons why Coach Hurley’s St. Anthony’s HS teams were so hard to score against in transition was the 5-on-5 Conversion Drill. Your team will learn how to communicate and stop the ball in transition. Shooting Drills & Half-Court 3-on-3 To learn how to play off of each other, Hurley uses the 3-on-3 Half-Court Drill. Players incorporate all they have learned in half-court offense and defense. Coach Hurley then shifts to shooting drills. He shares some of his favorites including those that work on shooting off the catch and shooting off the dribble. One particularly favorite drill is 30 Plus a Half. It’s a great shooting drill to close a practice. Players love it and it works on improving all aspects of shooting. There are only three high school coaches in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and Hurley is one. His “old school” values still hold true in the modern game and you get to learn from one of the true masters in this video.

Blocker-Mover Offense: Core Drills and Shooting Drills Joliet Junior College head coach Joe Kuhn has built a career on the Blocker-Mover offense. It has helped him earn inductions into the NJCAA Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame as well as the Illinois Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. In this video, Coach Kuhn shows you how to build the Blocker-Mover offense with a number of different drills. He presents 14 foundational drills, both core drills and shooting drills, to help you execute the Blocker-Mover system at a high level. Core Drills In order to learn the reads and options involved in the seemingly endless number of actions within the offense, players must work through Coach Kuhn’s series of foundational drills. Only when players have mastered the reads and options available are they able to freelance within the system. Coach Kuhn presents nine practice drills that help players learn the various reads needed to successfully run the blocker-mover offense. The Get Open drill is one where players run through a variety of actions that can be rehearsed. This helps develop the instincts players need to find scoring chances. Players learn to get open on the wing using pin down screens. They also learn how to play off flare screens, side ball screens, and baseline screens based on how a defense plays them. The Free Lance drill helps to really lock in the concepts of the offense. Using restrictions or scripted defensive tactics, you can tweak the drill to focus on whatever priority you would want to emphasize. Shooting Drills Coach Kuhn shows you five drills to break down the shooting options within the blocker-mover offense. Players train to take the same shots they will take on game night. The 3-Spot Shooting drill simulates different shots that can be created off of pin down screens or flare screens for the movers. Blocker Shooting helps condition post players to look for scoring opportunities through post ups and flashes to the ball. The Combo Shooting drill puts blockers and movers together to rehearse shots off flare screens. Any coach interested in running the blocker-mover offense must have this 54-minute video from Coach Kuhn. It’s a must for building an effective blocker-mover offense.

Blocker-Mover Offense: Out of Bounds Plays, Set Plays, Reads and vs. Zone Offense Hall of Fame coach Joe Kuhn presents to you an offense that can be adapted to fit any style, any personnel, and it works against both zone and man-to-man. The Joliet Junior College head coach, who is a member of both the Illinois and NJCAA Basketball Coaches Halls of Fame, shows you a highly adaptable offensive attack in this video through the use of the whiteboard, on-court demonstration, and game film. The simultaneous screening actions that incorporate every player on the floor are what make the blocker-mover offense team basketball at its best. You will see how it works against any defense and how players can have the freedom to freelance. Offensive Entries For teams that face pressure defenses frequently, Coach Kuhn shows you three different entries into the offense. Keep opponents guessing with three options to get open on the wing using pin screens. Detroit adds another screener to help out when extreme pressure gives you trouble. When dribble entry is needed, Coach Kuhn shows you how to space the floor to initiate the offense. Alignment Options The Blocker-Mover system features two designated blockers that look to constantly screen for movers in designated areas. Adjusting the assignments of the blockers changes the spacing and screening options that are created in the offense. Lane-Lane: great option for teams with two post players or when coaches need to find productive use for non-scorers Lane-Wide: used when at least one blocker has solid perimeter skills Wide-Wide: used when blockers have solid perimeter skills Top-Bottom: a four-guard lineup with one post player close to the rim Zone Offense Coach Kuhn illustrates how the Top-Bottom alignment can create a motion offense that works perfectly against zone defenses. In addition to the basic Blocker-Mover offense, you will see two additional concepts used to beat zone defenses. The Step Out-Step In action creates a ball reversal that pulls out defenders and frees up a post feed in the short corner. Transition & Set Plays Coach Kuhn shows you how simple transition offense can flow right into the screening actions of the blocker-mover. Scoring opportunities are available early in transition with drive and kick plays by your movers, feeding the post, or the use of wide pin down screens by the trailing blocker. To complement the offense, Coach Kuhn shows you five set plays that incorporate concepts from the main offense. Panther is one that can create a 3-point shot or a post opportunity. There are also ways to incorporate handoffs into the set plays creating even more action. Vermont is a sideline inbounds play that will either execute a lob pass or get the ball to your best player. With all of its options, Coach Kuhn’s offense is perfect for any team. In 88 minutes, he shows you an offense built for any situation – out of bounds, versus zone, versus man, and more – and how it can adapt to any roster. Own it today!

Mastering the Art of Better Post Play: Dominating the Paint Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Better Post Play, a transformative program designed to enhance your team's performance in the paint. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of Better Post Play, providing you with expert insights, advanced techniques, and detailed breakdowns to help your team become dominant forces in the low post. Whether you're a coach, player, or basketball enthusiast, this guide is your key to unlocking the full potential of Better Post Play. Understanding Better Post Play Better Post Play is a specialized program developed by basketball experts that focuses on improving skills, footwork, and decision-making in the low post area. It emphasizes the importance of positioning, physicality, and effective moves to score, rebound, and create opportunities for the team. By implementing the principles of Better Post Play, your team can gain a significant advantage by dominating the paint and controlling the game. Key Principles of Better Post Play 1. Positioning and Sealing Better Post Play emphasizes proper positioning and sealing techniques in the low post. Players learn how to establish deep post position, create space, and prevent defenders from disrupting their scoring opportunities. By mastering these principles, players can receive passes in advantageous positions and initiate scoring plays efficiently. 2. Footwork and Moves Better Post Play focuses on developing precise footwork and a repertoire of effective post moves. Players learn various techniques such as drop steps, up-and-under moves, jump hooks, and fadeaways. These moves, combined with proper footwork, allow players to outmaneuver defenders, create scoring opportunities, and draw fouls in the paint. 3. Decision-Making in the Post Better Post Play trains players to make intelligent decisions in the post area. Players learn to read the defense, identify double teams, and make quick decisions on passing or scoring. This decision-making ability enables players to capitalize on scoring opportunities or find open teammates when facing defensive pressure. Implementing Better Post Play To successfully implement Better Post Play, teams must focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your team's performance in the low post: 1. Fundamental Drills Design fundamental drills that focus on positioning, footwork, and post moves. Incorporate drills that simulate game scenarios, such as one-on-one post battles, rebounding drills, and scoring challenges. These drills help players develop the necessary skills and muscle memory required for effective post play. 2. Post Entry and Passing Include post entry and passing drills as integral parts of your practice sessions. Emphasize the importance of delivering accurate passes to players in the low post and teach teammates how to recognize and execute post entry passes. Strong post entry and passing skills create opportunities for easy baskets and enhance overall team play. 3. Game Simulation Integrate game simulation activities into your training sessions to provide players with practical experience in the post. Organize controlled scrimmages or game-like situations where players can apply the skills they have learned in a realistic setting. This allows them to practice positioning, footwork, and decision-making while facing live defense. 4. Strength and Conditioning Developing strength and conditioning is crucial for better post play. Implement strength training exercises that focus on lower body strength, core stability, and explosiveness. Improved physicality and endurance enable players to establish and maintain position in the post, fight for rebounds, and finish strong at the rim. The Benefits of Better Post Play Implementing Better Post Play offers numerous benefits that can elevate your team  's performance and dominance in the paint. Let's explore some key advantages: 1. Increased Scoring Efficiency Better Post Play enhances scoring efficiency by equipping players with the skills and techniques necessary to score effectively in the low post. By mastering positioning, footwork, and a variety of post moves, players can create high-percentage scoring opportunities and convert them into points. This increased scoring efficiency puts pressure on the opposing defense and contributes to overall offensive success. 2. Offensive Rebounding Advantage Better Post Play emphasizes the importance of offensive rebounding and provides players with the tools to excel in this area. By mastering positioning, timing, and boxing out techniques, players can secure offensive rebounds and create second-chance scoring opportunities for their team. Offensive rebounds not only lead to additional points but also demoralize the opposing team and provide a significant boost in momentum. 3. Drawing Fouls and Free Throw Opportunities Effective post play often results in drawing fouls from the opposing team. Better Post Play teaches players how to use their body, footwork, and post moves to initiate contact and draw fouls. This ability to draw fouls not only disrupts the defense but also leads to free throw opportunities, allowing the team to score points with the clock stopped. 4. Defensive Presence and Rim Protection Improving post play extends beyond offense; it also enhances the team's defensive presence. Better Post Play emphasizes defensive positioning, shot blocking, and contesting shots in the paint. By becoming proficient in post defense, players can protect the rim, deter opponents from driving to the basket, and alter or block shots. This defensive presence contributes to a strong overall defense and creates a sense of intimidation for opposing players. 5. Team Cohesion and Offensive Flow Better Post Play enhances team cohesion and offensive flow. When players in the post possess strong skills, footwork, and decision-making abilities, it opens up opportunities for effective passing and player movement. The team can utilize post players as focal points for the offense, leading to improved ball movement, spacing, and scoring options for all players on the court. This enhanced offensive flow creates a more dynamic and unpredictable team, making it challenging for opponents to defend. Conclusion Better Post Play is a transformative program that elevates your team's performance in the paint. By implementing the key principles, strategies, and techniques outlined in this guide, you will equip your team with the tools necessary to dominate the low post and control the game. Remember, mastering Better Post Play requires practice, repetition, and a commitment to continuous improvement. So, embrace the art of better post play, unlock your team's full potential, and watch as their dominance in the paint elevates their overall performance. The path to basketball excellence starts with better post play!
