Building a Postseason Culture in Your Program Loyola-Chicago head coach Porter Moser won the Missouri Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships in 2018 and took his mid-major program all the way to the Final Four. Moser believes it was all possible because of the program’s culture. In this video, Coach Moser explores the foundations of the culture he established at Loyola as well as some of the drills that reflect that culture and some of the principles Moser uses to attack zone defenses. Promoting a Good Culture Coach Moser came up through the coaching ranks by spending a lot of time with the legendary Rick Majerus. Moser revisits many of the concepts, strategies, and ideas her learned while working with Majerus. These culture-building ideas include: Coaches and players must always be invested in learning. Relationships are a key in building a positive culture. Use simple phrases that resonate with players. Players must be able to articulate how to do something. If they cannot, they probably can’t do it. A coach must get everyone to believe in what he is selling. Embrace the little things. Drills & Strategies Coach Moser then gets into some of the drills that he uses. “Close to the Body” is a defensive drill that helps defenders locate their man after they are screened or encounter some other offensive action. “Throw and Go” doubles as a shooting drill and as one that covers one of the core offensive concepts Moser teaches to beat zone defenses. The final segment of the video is where Coach Moser shows you how he attacks zone defenses. What you will see is not just a simple play or even an entire offense that attacks zones, but Coach Moser shares with you a series of big-picture ideas and concepts that will help you and your players against any zone defense and its adjustments. Moser finishes with the some “food for thought” concepts that can make a difference in close games. Some ideas are actual on-court actions where others are simply thoughts about a program and how to help motivate athletes. Coach Moser’s video tackles one of the most important ideas in coaching – how to create a positive, winning culture. Any coach can develop a great offense or a stingy defense, but not every coach can build a consistent winner. Coach Moser shows you how to build the foundation for a strong culture and a winning tradition.

Matt Painter: Building a Defensive Philosophy With the emphasis on offense these days, it’s hard to build a defensive mindset within a program. Purdue head coach Matt Painter shows you exactly how to do so in this video. It’s hard to sell athletes on playing defense, but building a defensive culture can be the thing that narrows the gap between lesser skilled teams and those with tons of offensive talent. Painter has been the Big Ten Coach of the Year four times and has won the conference championship three times. He has done so by building his program on tough, hard-nosed man-to-man defense. This video is not full of fancy drills. It is more about philosophy and how to build an effective defense. Building Your Defense Coach Painter describes the building of a defense from the ground up. He begins with some basics such as: How to use the safety and jammer positions in your press and transition defense How to be Early, Loud, and Continuous (ELC) on calling out screens The benefits of having both an open and closed defensive stance How to have compact help to have more effective movement on defense Transition Defense With three crashing the boards, Coach Painter shows you how his defense works in transition. The point guard jams the ball off the rebound or the made basket. The guards communicate early and deny the easy kick up slowing the ball in transition. This allows the defense to focus on defending in the half-court. Half-Court Defense Coach Painter believes establishing a half-court presence is a must. Shooters and non-shooters are identified so players know who they need to commit to right away. Painter uses a 3-on-3 shell drill early in practice and players must identify shooters and non-shooters. Doing the drill early sets the tone for the rest of practice. Help Defense Good defenses must have players that can rotate and help. Coach Painter reviews his idea of ‘Compact Help’ where players stop a drive and force a kick out. Players are taught to level the dribbler and not commit the foul. Ball Screen Defense Offenses use screening actions almost all the time against man-to-man defenses, so Painter uses a 4-on-4 Shell drill to teach how to defend a number of those screens. The idea is to prevent easy passes and force long skip passes. Defensive Closeouts The Spots drill helps defenders perform the closeout technique properly. Here you will see: What type of closeout to use based on a player’s shooting ability How to closeout to five different spots How to make sure your closeouts do not allow players to the middle of the floor  This is an excellent video for coaches looking to build a defensive culture in their program.

Building a Ball Screen Offense Kent State head basketball coach Rob Senderoff shows you how build a ball screen offense that maximizes the strengths of your players. Whether you have a team full of ball handlers or just one, Coach Senderoff shows you the various actions that make this offense so successful. In almost a decade at Kent State, Senderoff has won 60 percent of his games at a school not known for its basketball program. Coach Senderoff will share with you why the offense works, how to teach it, and the drills you can use in your practices. By the end of the 63-minute video, you should be able to install the Kent State Ball Screen offense successfully. Drilling the Offense Coach Senderoff uses on-court demonstration to show you the drills that he uses to implement the ball screen offense. He takes you through all the phases of the offense beginning with two warm-up drills that utilize both the pick-and-roll and pick-and-pop actions. You will see three main ball screen options: side, shake, and flat. Coach Senderoff then gets into the 3-out 2-in ball screen offense as well as the 4-out 1-in, which is used when you have good guards that possess speed. Also included in Coach Senderoff’s presentation is a unique set that can be used when a team has just one strong ball handler. The ball screen offense can still be used in this case and Senderoff shows you the “Flat” set where four players align on the baseline with the guard at the top of the key. Counter Measures Defenses will try to counter the ball screen offense in any number of ways. With each alignment, Senderoff shows you how to counter presenting the offense with multiple scoring opportunities. Coach Senderoff simulates different situations an offense might see all with an emphasis on helping players to read defenses and act. Coach Senderoff’s DVD is perfect for high school coaches looking to install a ball screen offense. Using Senderoff’s strategies, players learn to attack their opponents giving them the best chances for success.

Ken French: Building a Motion Offense & Quick Hitters The Motion offense has been around for years and utilizes player movement, spacing, passing, cutting, and setting screens in an effort to create easy scoring opportunities. In this informative video, University of Rio Grande head coach Ken French teaches you how to build a successful Motion offense from the ground up. In today’s more position-less game, it is important for players to understand all the elements of sound man-to-man offense. Those elements include floor spacing, communication with teammates, how to screen, penetration, and more. Coach French shares a number of drills designed to help you and your players understand the nuances of the Motion offense. Motion Offense Drills One of the biggest challenges in running the Motion offense is helping players understand how to make decisions as the offense begins to take shape. Coach French uses breakdown drills to simplify and reinforce the decision-making process. Repeated practice using these drills will help players become more confident in the offense and lead to greater success. Coach French also introduces drills that help players learn to penetrate and kick effectively. Players learn to read all defenders including help defenders. Players learn the specific move to make – cut, fade, or curl – when a defense reacts to the offense. Coach French explains all the motion actions and reads so that you can build an offense that can unload from 3-point range or attack the basket with penetrating drives. French expands the drills by adding a post player and teaching players how to use screens, including ball screens by the post. Also included is specific instruction on working a two-man game on the strong side. French does a wonderful job of teaching perimeter players to work with post players in what he calls “split the post.” Motion Offense Quick Hitters This 72-minute video also includes a series of quick-hitting half-court offensive plays that can be used in special situations. Need a late-game 3-pointer or quick shot at the end of the half? French has you covered in this segment. You also get a few motion quick hitters in transition that will show you how to take advantage of defenses that don’t get back quick enough. Coach French shares with you a multitude of ways to take advantage of a defense using the motion offense.

Man to Man Defense with Bruce Weber Coaches at the high school level often struggle with installing their defensive system and being ready by their first game of the season. Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber shows you how he deals with the same difficulties using shell drills that develop the team concept of the man to man defense. In today’s game, stopping dribble penetration is a team concept. Coach Weber addresses defensive rotations in addition to shutting down the various on- and off-ball screens that his teams face. Weber is one of the best minds in college basketball having won multiple conference championships with a number of teams. His 2005 Illinois team was the national runner-up and Weber was awarded the Naismith Coach of the Year award. Man to Man Defense Breakdown Drills In a lecture segment, Coach Weber outlines the most important concepts of his man-to-man defense. He starts with the basics like closeouts and positioning and builds upon those using the Shell drill. Concepts such as help defense, rotating off a drive and kick, and more are added as the system is learned. As his teams progress, Weber uses 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 Shell drills to ensure his players are getting into the right positions to help each other. Eventually, players work a 5-on-5 Shell drill where Weber can then teach various schemes and strategies to counter the most common actions his players will see during a season. Defenders learn to stop dribble penetration, help defense, and how to take away the next pass. Individual Build-Up Drills To build the shell defense, Coach Weber uses individual defensive segments where players work on maintaining proper position against ball and player movement. From 2-on-2 to 3-on-3, defending ball screens, and post defense; Coach Weber teaches every detail and technique his players need in order to become outstanding defenders. All of Weber’s drills have a winner and a loser to add competition and reinforce the idea that defense wins championships. Full Court Defensive Drills Coach Weber shows you a variety of full-court drills to build the pressure man-to-man defense. In the 4-on-4 full-court shell, players work to contain opponents in the open court and stunt. This slows down the offense and forces teams to give up the ball. Weber teaches a number of concepts including chasing cutters off pin down and flare screens, defending plays like Floppy, Horns, Screen-the-Screener, and much more. This is an outstanding man to man defense video for coaches looking to build their defensive system and do so quickly in time for a season opener. Rent this man to man defense DVD today.

Building a Rebounding and Defensive Mindset In order to build a defensive mindset, teams have to practice it. Bradley head coach Brian Wardle, who led the Braves to the 2019 Missouri Valley Tournament Conference tournament championship, does just that. He also builds a tough rebounding mindset and shows you how he does it in this video. Each day in practice, Coach Wardle stresses three things: transition defense, individual and team defense, and rebounding. You will see exactly how he accomplishes his goals with the variety of drills that he uses. 5-on-0 Transition Coach Wardle uses the 5-on-0 transition drill with a focus on rebounding and defense. Players crash the boards on offense and also have players that begin to transition and become safeties to prevent easy baskets. Players must immediately think about their block out responsibilities too. This creates and builds that defensive/rebounding mentality. 1-on-1 Play to Build a Defensive Mindset The defensive mindset is built starting with the standard 1-on-1 play. Teams play to a certain number of points, but points are awarded based upon the number of stops a team makes. You win by keeping your opponent in front of you. The drill progresses to 2-on-2 and the same point system is in play. One of the unique things Wardle does is have his assistants track the number of “blow bys” each practice. Wardle then knows which players are getting beat consistently and which players are making stops. This helps in deciding playing time. Numbered Rebounding and Rebound League All of Coach Wardle’s drills are made to be as game-like as possible. Numbers Rebounding is a great drill that forces players to act quickly and block out their opponent. Coach Wardle reviews the keys to blocking out and identifies a “hit or be hit” mentality when rebounding. If you want to be a successful rebounding team, your players are going to have to be physical. Rebounding League is another of Coach Wardle’s favorite drills to build team defense. The drill teaches individual defensive concepts and emphasizes the importance of rebounding. Most of Coach Wardle’s drills are built into Rebounding League and players fight to earn the weekly rebounding title. Coach Wardle’s drills will bring out the rebounder in your players. The ability to develop a defensive and rebounding mindset will help your team become the force that it should be and a team that opponents will not want to play.
