Doug Bruno: Building Your Offensive Philosophy Through Individual Skill Development Building a successful basketball program requires the ability to develop players. Developing players demands that how coaches teach be just as important as what they teach. DePaul women’s basketball coach Doug Bruno, Conference USA’s Coach of the Decade, shares with you the foundation around which you can build a winning coaching philosophy in this video. Coach Bruno, who has over 650 career wins and 16 straight trips to the NCAA tournament (2003-18), is highly regarded for his ability to teach and develop players. Year-in and year-out, Bruno’s teams are among the highest-rated in the country. Get an inside look at his methods in this video. Building a Complete Basketball Player Coach Bruno takes some time to explain how you can develop players through daily skill development. That development is not just physical; it is also emotional and mental. Coach Bruno believes a dynamic and complete basketball player must have the following ingredients: A love of competition Ball handling skills when under pressure Attention to footwork Well-versed in all aspects of offense including moving with or without the ball, on the bounce, in triple threat, and in the post Great eyes and vision The ability to listen and be coachable to develop basketball IQ Teaching Method Players are only as good as what their coaches have taught them. It is important that coaches become great teachers of the game and give players a chance to flourish. Players must understand what is being asked of them every day in practice. Coach Bruno explains how starting slow and building through demonstration, imitation, and repetition can create the perfect learning environment for players to develop their optimal skills. Offense and Drills Coach Bruno shares with you some of his favorite drills including one that starts in a triple threat situation. He teaches players to use a shot fake and attack an open gap. He then builds on that adding crossover footwork and executing a change of direction. Coach Bruno also emphasizes play without the ball. He demonstrates how to get open using a V-cut or a backdoor cut for an easy layup. These individual drills build the foundation that becomes the 1-4 offensive system with scoring options off of a hand off, fake hand off, square up and attack and split-slip option. Developing players early in the season will help them be ready for the end-of-season stretch run. Coach Bruno has had much success in individual development as evidenced by his 16 straight trips to the NCAA tournament. His offensive philosophy is something that coaches at any level will appreciate and find applicable to use with their programs.

Bunch Corner, for example, is a staple of Coach Kampe’s offense and has a number of options to get someone an easy scoring opportunity. Kampe also shares with you the Choice Series, which can open up shots outside the 3-point arc, inside the lane, and on penetrating drives. Each basketball offense plays is taught 5-on-0 and then progresses to a 5-on-5 situation so that players see how a defense reacts. Kampe’s biggest coaching point is for players to simply follow the rules of the play. Being disciplined is the key to these plays being successful. Defending The Ball Screen Ball screen defenses are built upon communication and Coach Kampe’s is no different. While built on communication, Kampe’s philosophy of defending ball screens is much different than what is considered normal. In this segment, Kampe will explain how he handles ball screens. It may be unconventional, but you will see as players get into the action how Kampe’s philosophy works. Labeling Shooters With the aid of analytics, Kampe is able to better defend opponents. Labeling shooters and where they make shots from has a great impact on defending ball screens. Kampe’s defenses take that into account. Coach’s defense will defend shooters, hedge/close out non-shooters, and force opponents to take a low percentage shot. There is something for everyone in this 81-minute, on-court video. Coach Kampe’s quick hitters are a great addition to any offense and his take on ball screen defense is unique but very successful.  Rent this basketball offense plays & defending the ball screen DVD today.

Tad Boyle: Building Your Transition Offense and Team Culture This two-part video presentation from Colorado men’s head basketball coach Tad Boyle offers great insight into both an up-tempo offense as well as what it takes to build a successful basketball culture. Boyle has turned Colorado into a Pac-12 winner by emphasizing both values and the transition offense. Boyle is the first coach in Colorado history to lead the Buffaloes to four straight 20-plus win seasons. By the end of Coach Boyle’s presentation, you will have the tools necessary to build a winning culture and develop a transition offense that scores points and wears down opponents. Transition Drills The up-tempo offense has helped Boyle transform the Colorado program and it can help you do the same. For Boyle, running the fast break also takes advantage of the high altitude at which Colorado plays. All of Coach Boyle’s drills are designed to make players run the floor and make decisions on the go. The offense rewards ball movement over dribbling through a defense. You will witness a number of drills including a Continuous Fast Break Drill that works on a variety of situations including 2-on-1, 3-on-2, 4-on-3, 5-on-4, and 5-on-5. Boyle teaches the Spread Offense and illustrates where players are to be on the floor in these different situations. He also goes into detail about good shots and bad shots in the transition offense. Transition Games Coach Boyle uses three different ‘games’ in practice to reinforce playing fast and taking good shots. These games place emphasis on always taking a layup in transition and how to reverse the ball in a half-court offense in less than 10 seconds. The 12-Second Game: forces players to get the ball up the floor quickly and shoot layup or get the ball inside to a post player. The 10-Second Game: similar to the 12-Second drill and teaches players the importance of ball movement. Nugget Drill: taken from former NBA coach George Karl, this teaches players to shoot either an open 3-pointer or a layup in transition. Building Culture The foundation of what Boyle built at Colorado comes from creating and developing a set of core values. Each successful program must define its culture both on and off the court. You will learn how Boyle built his program around the ideas of trust, character, and work ethic. He gets his players to buy in and always refers to these core values at the end of every practice. In the end, Boyle teaches his players not only how to achieve success on the basketball court, but also in life. This 67-minute video is the best of both worlds – a great look at transition offense and team culture.
