Coaching Background

As a player and then as an aspiring coach, Mark Pope was fortunate to have an incredibly rich stream of influential coaches who shaped his outlook and philosophies on coaching and what is valued and focused on in practices. Rick Pitino, Lynn Nance, Billy Donovan, Larry Bird, George Karl, Rick Carlisle, Mark Fox and Dave Rose all played a part in Coach Pope's development as a coach. Pope's ability to pick up valuable coaching nuggets from each coach he played for and coached with has created a thoughtful, analytical coach who focuses on practicing ways to create advantages for his team every time they take the court!

The Power Play

Coach Mark Pope has taken a hockey concept - the Power Play - and uses its principles in defining ways to create advantages for his players when they are on the floor. The energy you must focus on as a coach - and then practice to perfect - is: How can your team - through skill, scheme, ability, pace and plays 'earn' a power play?

Coach Pope talks about the 3 main principles of an effective Power Play - 

• Earning it - creating or recognizing the opportunity to attract a defender and thereby pulling a defender off of another area or player - Pope states that "If I can 'earn' a second player, someone else is open!" - . at that point, you have to 'Deliver' it to them!
• Delivering it - Once the defender has been pulled toward you - the ability to get the ball with perfect execution to the player that has the advantage; once received - you have to 'Finish'!
• Finishing it - You have to Finish! Pope shares several ways to get off quick, high percentage shots

Quicks

Coach Pope details Quicks - a finishing shot by your bigs that avoids confrontation, avoids turnovers, and if practiced religiously, can change your bigs' life! Quicks are clean, efficient ways to finish a power play.

Pope runs a couple of drills to demonstrate how to perfect the Quicks in practice. A pick and Roll drill shows the timing needed to execute a perfect quick. Adding a blocker and really focusing on the skill of catching are added in as well.

Quicks with Floater

Adding the guards into the equation adds another efficient, advantageous way to finish a Power Play. Pope spends time on the release, the timing and hand position to ensure proper, quick release.

Shooting

As a college coach, Coach Pope spends very little time working on shooting mechanics with his players; the arrive to his program with good shooting ability but he takes time to discuss the most important thing he is looking for in his shooters - as great shooting is essential as a part of the finish of a Power Play.  

Pope's 'key' when he is watching a player shoot is the psychological 'ownership' of every shot you take. When a shooter fires a three and immediately backs off and heads back on defense, you can see the disconnect between the shooter and their shot. Pope encourages  every player 'own their shot' - and follow through and stay present in the moment of the shot.

Power Play Breakdowns

Coach Pope shows a series of 2 on 2 and then 3 on 3 breakdowns to institute an awareness and understanding of how to earn the Power Play and then how to Deliver. The earning becomes a tendency once the drill is run a few times and the delivery becomes better with practice as well. This is another moment in the session when the focus on earning, delivering, catching and then finishing all come together.

Stampedes and Maggettes

Coach Pope also shares a drill he calls Stampedes and Maggettes; Corey Maggette was a masterful NBA guard who was able to make fluid, purposeful moves that were perfect illustrations of how to earn a Power Play. The stampedes were similar in design but instead of moving toward the pass, they were away from the pass.

The end result is a fluid, moving action that creates excellent Power Play opportunities.

Transition

Transition is a Power Play-rich time on the court where advantages present themself regularly. Coach Pope sets up a couple of drills that will help you run your team in game-speed drills that allow them to work to earn the Power Play and help you to keep focusing on opportunity creation where there are no contested shots.

Ball Screen

Coach Pope reviews priorities when you are setting ball screens as it relates to Power Play.  The key point in setting a purposeful ball screen is to force the defender to go over the screen and also, to focus on buying space and time. These keys will help your ball handler earn the Power Play and the play that unfolds is one with uncontested, high percentage shots.

Power Play is a hockey term in its origin but can so easily be used and applied to basketball. Coach Mark Pope has created an entire way of thinking, in pieces, that with practice and application in your program, can facilitate a team of players with superior basketball IQ as it relates to spacing, creating opportunities and finding uncontested, high percentage shots.

Here's a glimpse of what you will learn, what Coach May reinforces and some of the great coaching ideas, pearls of wisdom and observations you will be able to immerse yourself in - for your own program - with this Open Practice video:

• Let your players play through mistakes - It allows the players to talk and work things out!

• Teach disadvantage situations for the defense - as defenses will often have to guard with the numbers being in the offense's favor.
• Breakdown and teach offensive basics - taking an offense and breaking it into its parts before building it back up is proven to be the best way to teach offense!
• A great passing drill - 'Bocce passing' is a drill working on passing, driving, relocating and delivering a good pass to a teammate  - figuring out angles to pass to and pivoting to move defenders and create openings!
• 2 v 1 shooting - Defense starts on block, offense is in the corner and slot receives a pass then has to make a decision to shoot, drive or pass  - working on reading the defense! Love this shooting drill because it puts decision making pressure on it!  Offense receives the ball in the slot, the defender is closing out from the block to force a quick decision/read from the offensive team. Competitive between teams with consequences for the losing team.
• 5 v 0, 5 v 5 - 5 v 0 transition to work on different sets -  if you don't get anything out of the primary break, then going 5 v 5 full court to run those sets against defense - to allow players to learn how to read and what to read during the game!
• Advantage/Disadvantage Drill - A 4 v 3 and a 5 v 5 . send defense to half court scramble drill, offensively looking to use the advantage to create open shots and high percentage plays, defensively looking to being able to handle the disadvantage to get the offense to have a bad possession through communicating, anticipating, and understanding where the weakness and how to scramble effectively. 
• 3 Minute/2 Minute Games - Be able to play with time and score  - and learn how to get good positions offensively  - and . to learn to get stops defensively -  with losers having consequences for losing  . always making sure his team is competing!

Watching Coach May 'coach' his team is, in itself, the beauty and value found in this Open Practice video! Dusty May exudes great energy and passion in his coaching and guess what? - his players give great energy the entire practice! May coaches with passion. You will definitely use some of the drills and sets shared here in your practices.

By deploying a defense that incorporates Pack Line principles, opponents facing Coach Jones' defense often struggle to attack the paint with a post feed or get into gaps with a drive.In this highly valuable instructional video, Coach Jones unveils the ins and outs of his 3-2 Match-Up Zone and provides terrific build-up drills to help you install the defense while giving your players ample reps at protecting the paint. 

Match-Up Zone Principles, Responsibilities & Offensive Actions

Understanding the unique nature of a match-up zone defense's principles and the individual player responsibilities within it, is the first step toward building an impenetrable zone defense. Coach Jones begins by walking you through each players' responsibility and has them practice pointing at who they are guarding, communicating who they have to teammates, and understanding whose responsibility it is to guard the ball depending upon where it is on the court. This is a valuable portion of Coach Jones' on-the-court lesson and imperative toward helping you build a zone defense that will be tough to score on.  

After providing an understanding of the basics, Jones walks you through how to defend popular offensive actions that teams will try to use against your zone.  

From defending ball screens and keeping the paint locked down, Coach Jones details the importance of having the top of the zone cover defensively while using pack-line defense principles to create a smothering, hard-to-identify defense.

Against a baseline runner, Jones highlights how your players must point and cover the runner with the bottom part of the zone as everyone else rotates to cover the paint, while preventing any easy entry passes into the post.Against X action, Coach Jones outlines how the top part of your zone must work to cover post players who are trying to slip into gaps.

These defending actions will prevent teams from taking advantage against the weak areas of the zone and Jones explains things in a way that makes it easy to combine the match-up zone defense with Pack Line principles. 

Match-Up Zone Defense Build-Up Drills 

To help implement, teach and build-up your Match-Up Zone, Coach Jones provides break-down drills that utilize and showcase pack-line principles. In 2-on-2 Drill, players work on sprinting and morphing from on-the-ball pressure to pack-line principles.

Building up to a 3-on-3 drill, Jones has the on-the-court players work on defending cutters and communicating - which is a great example of using a build-up drill that teaches the defense, while also working on getting your defenders to point, communicate and maintain their responsibility when guarding the ball.

Coach Jones continues to showcase build-up drills working toward a 5-on-5 Drill that emphasizes the importance of defenders' practicing their pack-line principles and applying them within the match-up zone defense.  

Coach Jones has built Norfolk State into a top mid-major program with an emphasis on always playing tenacious, tough-minded defense. His teams have had some of the most memorable upsets in the NCAA Tournament in recent years. All of this has been accomplished through playing a hard-to-identify, Pack Line defense that incorporates a 3-2 matchup zone.

By combining the two best of these two defensive worlds, you'll learn how to build and teach a smothering defensive system that causes opposing teams to struggle to score from the perimeter, while simultaneously preventing them from getting good-look paint touches against your zone defense. This is a must-see defensive video demonstration and a masterclass on teaching a complex-looking system that's actually easy to implement and understand.

Customer Review: 5 Out of 5 Stars. 'Coach Jones uses excellent teaching points to describe how you can use Pack Line principles in the match-up zone. His build up drills are also great for teaching players how to communicate and where to be in the zone!'

• The PNR has and continues to be a staple play for NBA teams since the league began. 
• When a PNR is run properly your team is guaranteed to get a good shot.
• Able to run various types of PNR sets from various spots, involving various numbers of players being involved in the initial screening action

Coach Lionel Hollins has been a part of the NBA either as a player or coach since 1975. During that time, he has been coached by or has coached with some of the all-time NBA legends. These experiences are evident in this video with the numerous versions of the PNR shown. Coach Hollins demonstrates that where the PNR is run will determine what options you will have. Coach provides not only the options but the counters for each PNR action.

Offensive Pick & Roll Actions/Sets

In this segment 13 variations are presented. These sets can utilize dribble hands off, double screens, ghost screens, and back screens. Common spots on the floor these sets are run from are the elbows, top of the 3-point line, and of course the wing. Where you run it from may determine how the defense needs to guard it and therefore who should be getting a shot. Double Stack Drag is an excellent set for getting the big shot or Regular Stack to get a great shot for the shooter or a lob for the big based on how the defense responds to the initial screen. Three Side is a set used to prevent the defense from bringing help. Coach Hollins believes "V" is the toughest of the actions/sets to defend if you have a good passing guard. Coach explains through each set  - such as: what to do if the defense switches everything or how to deal with teams that use drop coverage. At the end of the game Target is a great PNR to run to ensure your best player has the other team's weakest defender guarding them. 

Guarding the Pick and Roll

Since the PNR is so common it is important not only for your team to be able to run it, but they should know how to try to defend it or make it more difficult. In this segment Coach Hollins explains situations where the player guarding the ball must position themselves, how to chase hard off a screen, and the technique of the rear contest. For the defender guarding the screener he explains ways they need to show, how to stunt, and when an X switch may be needed. If you are forced to switch, he demonstrates how to do a Veer Switch which allows the original defender to get back to the ball handler they were originally guarding when the pick and roll started. 

How to Defeat a Team That Always Switches

As a terrific bonus segment Coach Hollins shows how the Denver Nuggets made the Miami Heat pay for switching on every screen!

This is an excellent video that provides not only several different types of PNRs your team can run but also adds depth to each type allowing you to teach your team how to counter any defensive action. 

The best part is how easy it is to add whatever one you want based on the players you have. This is easily one of the best videos for coaches that value what the PNR brings to the game!

Wisconsin's Greg Gard has developed a well-earned reputation for producing some of the most fundamentally strong players in all of college basketball. The two-time Big Ten champion head coach is a firm believer in building a coaching process that develops players who are confident, strong with the basketball and are knowledgeable on the offensive end.  

In this instructional coaching video with on-the-court demonstrations, Coach Gard unveils a critical portion of the teaching process he has created for utilizing fundamental drills that you can use daily to build strong and confident offensive players who can execute any offense.

Ball-Handling Drills

Stressing the importance of getting to the rim in any offense, Coach Gard begins by showcasing 'attacking the basket' drills he uses, starting with the '2-on-0 Partner-Passing Drill'; this drill emphasizes and teaches players how to get to two feet with a jump stop to deliver a solid, on-target pass. As players pick up their dribble, an emphasis is placed on keeping the elbows out, staying square to the rim and ripping the basketball through to keep a defender from getting their hands in the ball-handler's space.  

Coach Gard shows how you can do this drill to work on chest passes, bounce passes and overhead passes. This is also a great drill to teach cutting and spacing, as well as getting players to work on making proper v-cuts to help them get open. 

In a drill called the, 'Dribble-At Drill,' Coach Gard shows how players can learn to back-cut and use the move to open up a backdoor play. In this drill, players are taught how to make decisions based on what the defender is giving them, and if they are using either overplay or bump technique to defend a dribble handoff. This is a terrific drill that teaches players how to move without the basketball - a key component to help improve your team's half-court offense and take it to the next level.  

Passing-and-Catching Drills

Passing is one of the lost arts in today's game. Coach Gard showcases several simple and effective passing drills that emphasize showing hand targets, utilizing ball fakes and playing off of two feet. These simple, yet critically important offensive techniques, teach your players how to be strong with the basketball and consistently deliver solid, on-target passes.  

In the '3-Line, Straight Drill,' which is a variant of the traditional 3-man weave drill, players have to catch a pass in their lane and come to a jump stop while delivering another pass up the court and working toward a layup. Coach Gard stresses that players must maintain 'eyes to the rim' and use different types of passes depending on how many passes they can use to successfully get down court.  

Next, Coach Gard shows off his 'Full-Court Passing Drill,' in which players demonstrate all the different types of passes they can use to make it successfully down court in a full-court setting. Once a full-court trip is successfully completed, players must speed dribble the length of the court and restart the drill.

As they perform the 'Full-Court Passing Drill,' players must call out the name of who they are passing to, while getting square to the rim each time and using ball fakes to deliver a strong pass. This excellent, challenging drill teaches players to catch passes while remaining strong with the ball as they deliver confident passes to their teammates. 

Gard also showcases one of his favorite passing drills, with the '4-Corner Passing Drill.'  In this drill, players must communicate who they are passing to and follow their pass. They must sprint while using a jump stop and execute reverse-pivot to hand the ball off to the next player in line. This is a highly effective drill that you have players perform in a half-court setting and utilizes the lane line to teach passing, pivots and staying strong with the basketball.  

Building a fundamental player is what every coach aspires to do. Fundamentally strong players transform any offense - regardless of the offense you run - into a strong and efficient offensive attack that keeps your team's turnovers to a minimum. After running the drills shown by Coach Gard in this video, your players feel confident that they can handle any type of defensive pressure that is thrown their way. 

This is a must-watch video for coaches at all levels of competition. Coach Gard's demonstrations and coaching points-of-emphasis remain simple, effective and easy to teach.  The drills shown are ideal for everyday use and serve perfectly as quick, significantly purposeful habit-building tools that you can incorporate into your own system for player improvement. 

Customer Review: 5 Out of 5 Stars. 'This is a valuable coaching video! It's filled with solid, fundamental drills. Coach Gard does a great job of emphasizing all the little things he does as a coach to help build a more complete and fundamentally sound basketball player.'

You will also learn how simple play calls and giving your players the freedom to play randomly through spacing and cutting concepts can get you paint touches within the first seven seconds.  Coach May shows how the '45' and 'Clide' (cut and slide) cuts can open space for your ball handler to attack.  'Drag Pop' is another simple adjustment that can create open shots for your screener or flow into secondary actions such as dribble pitches.  'Drag Twist' is an effective solution that will confuse any defensive coverage you will encounter.

Coach May also breaks down the Dragon secondary offense that is used when facing a more organized defense after made baskets.  This play sequences multiple actions that will scramble the defense within just the first few seconds of the possession.  Dragon Flash gives you a simple way to flow into more off-ball screening action.  Dragon Get is another easy adjustment that will free shooters with follow up screens after the ball screen.  You will also get ideas for how to change up the pick and roll to match the skillsets of your screeners.  

The offensive options multiply when you see how Coach May adjusts with new solutions for different defensive coverages.  Hit defenders going under the ball screen a second time with the Flip action!  Learn how to punish teams that are trying to force you to the side by playing through the short roll or changing the angle of the screen!

With a reputation for being cool, calm and drawing up successful strategies while under the pressure of late-game situations, Coach White uses this outstanding basketball coaching video to pull back the curtain and showcase the details of his winning approach to end-of-game (EOGs) and after time-outs (ATOs) situations.

In this video, Coach White draws out and demonstrates some of his favorite sets in an easy-to-follow, 5-on-5 half-court setting.  

End-of-Game Philosophy

As a coach, it's a coach's job to put players in positions to be successful. Coach White explains that knowing the spots and situations where your players are comfortable scoring helps to expand your players' ability to win late in games.

White outlines the importance of preparing your players for everything that can happen. Coach White shares his plan for preparation and how to modify practices in ways that will make your players feel comfortable and confident when the game is on the line.

Sharing examples, Coach White explains how to set up different situations in practice to help your players to always be aware of the time, score and situations they are in. By practicing game situations every day, you'll learn how to have your players ready for adjustments and twists that come their way.

ATOs (After Time Outs)

Coach White provides game-winning plays for all ATO situations - from sideline out-of-bounds plays (SLOBs) to half-court sets, to baseline out-of-bounds plays (BLOBs) - running examples of each with on-the-court demonstrations.

In a play called 'Cleveland,' Coach White demonstrates how your point guard can use a dribble handoff followed by a pin-down screen to create a scoring opportunity for your best shooter or a slip for your post player to score at the rim.Coach White also shows off 'Double,' a play in which your team can get an open three-point shot in the corner using Iverson Action or getting a slip from your post player after setting a double-screen against the outside of the zone.

The half-court play called 'Florida' helps your point guard get a late flat-ball screen to attack downhill.

Using baseline out of bounds sets, Coach White demonstrates several game-tested plays that he's had success with in a wide-array of situations, including 'Circle 1' and 'Circle 2' to show two of his favorite sets and other wrinkles he runs out of each. These sets will help your players feel confident they can score against any defense. 

EOG Sets (End of Game)

From a full-court set to quick-hitting actions late in the game, Coach White helps prepare your players for any time and score situation. In a play called 'Detroit,' the coach demonstrates how having a short clock actually allows you to use misdirection - with your shooting guard setting a screen for the point guard coming off and looking for a quick shot at the top of the key.  

Coach White demonstrates a home-run play called 'Long' where your shooting guard comes off of a screen, hits the post player flashing, who then hits a wing for an open 3-point shot.

'Cardinal' is a play shown from a box setup with 5-seconds left on the clock. White details how to use your post players to set a double-screen for your shooting guard, who catches and attacks the rim as the ball-side of the court clears out. 

Preparing your players for all situations makes them confident for any situation. Knowing when and where to get your players the ball for a scoring opportunity, is a coaching tactic that builds trust in your players and helps to take your program to new heights.

Coach White has a playbook full of game-winning ATO and EOG sets. In this jam-packed, highly valuable video, Coach White opens his playbook and diagrams his favorites - all designed to give your team an advantage late in the game. This is a must-watch video for coaches at all levels of competition.

Coach Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars. 'This is an excellent excellent video! Coach White diagrams multiple sets that you can use either after a timeout or at the end of a game.

Coach Sean Miller focuses on skill development and his offensive philosophy of wanting to play faster. He believes that the best way to do that is by playing through concepts and having more of a flowing offense where the number of sets or plays that are called is limited. 

Miller spends a large portion of time developing skills; things as basic as what pivot to use, catching, and being in a triple threat position. Focus is placed on teaching players how to get open, driving and attacking the basket. 

The importance of making your breakdown drills simulate what will happen in an actual game is reiterated over and over. Coach Miller also focuses on: playing off of two feet, reversing the ball quickly and completing great passes.

Pick and Roll Development

Coach Miller reviews how to set screens, cutting with a purpose and being in a good position to set the screen. Miller makes a critically important point - that you must set a screen so that a defender can't go under the screen! Miller then has the players demonstrate different ways to get into the pick and roll action. 

Coach Miller also talks about passing and following the ball into the screen, about pitching the ball into the screen and using a dribble handoff (DHO) to set up the action; the demonstrators do an excellent job breaking down each of these actions.

Pick and Roll Offense

You will see how a Sean Miller-coached offense would attack a defense based on how the opponent was guarding the pick and roll. Coach Miller looks specifically at what to do when a team "hard hedges" or traps a pick and roll. Miller gives several breakdowns and concepts for what to do in these types of situations and also looks at how to attack a defense that switches pick and rolls  - and, how to gain advantages based on the mismatches that are created.

This video is great for teams who are trying to learn more about the pick and roll offense and how to develop players to set screens, use screens and attack offensively. You will learn multiple breakdowns and how to implement the different actions and concepts that Coach Miller introduces. The importance of building and developing a high basketball IQ skill set within their program in order to fully maximize an effective pick and roll offense is reinforced throughout.

Coach Sean Miller's expertise in purposeful skill development training and a high-functioning pick-and-roll offense make this a must-have video!

Teaching your players how to play the game and react to what the defense is doing can lead to an unscoutable offense. Mark Byington is one of the best X and O coaches in the game. In this video, Coach Byington demonstrates the drills and principles in his offense that have helped him build a Top 25 program.

Principles

Using 2v0 and 3v0 setup, players are put through a series of drive and kick reactions that will build into a 5v0 alignment.  Through these drills you will teach your players how to react in a 5 out system.  Players will create advantage basketball and be able to push the ball in transition.  

When you don't restrict players and let them play, your offense learns to thrive.  

In the 5v0 Full Court drill, a coach will toss the ball up and whoever rebounds leads the break.  Coach Byington teaches his principles of Flood, Weak Flood, Drag, and Double Drag.  

All of these options are the foundations of transition Flow Offense. 

Transition Flood Options

In Flood, players fill to one side to overload the defense in transition.  This concept helps players learn to keep 12-15 feet spacing in transition and use a back screen or middle ball screen so players can attack at a 45 degree angle. 

In Weak Flood, players overload one side of the floor by emptying to one side of the floor.  This concept allows the corner helper to not be there on defense.  

In Drag and Double Drag, your point guard will love to attack the rim and look for a scoring opportunity with both post players either rolling or popping.  These are all great options to run off of a missed shot

Flow Game 

Once your transition game has created a scoring opportunity or been shut down by the defense, you players have to be ready for the play after the play.  

This is where Coach Byington starts to develop the 5 Out system in Flow Game.  

Players are able to use random ball screens, dribble handoffs, ghost screen action, rip - drive and kick, or cut to the basket for open looks.  

This style of play creates a lot of unpredictability for the defense to prepare to defend.  The advantage situations will create a better scoring opportunity for another teammate.  By keeping the principles simple - guard to guard pass/you exchange  - and guard to wing pass/you cut through - you can build so many scoring opportunities on either side of the floor.  

By using 4 Out Shell, players can learn to use the actions and move the defense to create gaps.  Coach Byington reinforces - "Don't let the ball stick otherwise you will let the defense catch up to your action".  

This offense can lead to big things and lots of points as Byington's teams have found out by averaging close to 80 points per game. 

Having an offense that is uncountable and unpredictable can lead to big scoring outputs.  

With numerous actions to build into your half court offense your players will love the Flow you can create.  Players will learn to play the game, react to the defense, counter their every move!  You will want to add this video to your offensive collection!

Customer Review: 5 Out 5 Stars! - "Very detailed video that breaks down the Flow Offense into easy to install options.  Players will learn to play off of each other through 2v0 and 3v0 drive and kick options. Some of the best teaching on these concepts I have seen!"

Through the 1-2-2 press, Coach Urgo highlights the best ways for players to learn the basic rotations to speed up a team that wants to grind out games in the half court and slow down teams that want to use their transition offense to put pressure on your team once they get the ball.  

In this video, Urgo shows you proven methods for flowing into your half-court defense and influencing your opponents toward the sideline, baseline and forcing them into tough, highly contested 2-point shots. 

Three-Quarter Court, 1-2-2 Press

Good pressing teams understand that it's not about forcing turnovers, but rather, the ultimate goal of a press is to force your preferred type of tempo and impose a specific pace-of-play upon your opponent. By controlling tempo through full- or three-quarter court pressure, you place your opponents in situations that they find difficult or uncomfortable.

Coach Urgo shows how can use the 1-2-2 press to speed up a slow team or slow down a fast team. This style of play is great for your program to dictate a game's tempo toward one that works in your favor.Demonstrating the drills that he uses to teach press rotations, Coach Urgo highlights several that he has found to be effective teaching tools, including a '3-on-3, Full-Court Drill,' where players must communicate with one another on who has the ball and who  is responsible for providing help. In the drill, players must fly around the court and influence the ball handler toward the sideline. With the top person in the press being one of the most important defenders, they have to take small steps towards the ball handler and big steps back to help take away any chance of getting the ball to the middle of the floor.  

This style of play is perfect if you are looking to put pressure on your opponents and have it flow directly and smoothly into your half-court defense.

Shell Defense, Defensive Techniques

Being ranked in the Top-10 in the nation for defensive efficiency is no easy task. Doing it two years in a row, showcases your team's dedication and emphasis on defensive pressure. By forcing tough, highly contested 2-point shots, Urgo's teams have consistently displayed a solid half-court defense. 

Coach Urgo highlights the best methods for teaching players how to 'help,' 'sink' and 'fill' to protect the paint. Using his version of the 'Shell Drill,' Urgo shares how to teach  'help,' 'sink' and 'fill'  techniques. 

Beginning with basic positioning and on-ball pressure, you'll learn teaching techniques for playing 'head and hand on the ball' defense and 'swiping up' to force opponents to feel uncomfortable and away from the basketball. Coach Urgo shows how they teach help-side defenders to learn to defend while positioned in a boxing stance and how to keep their head on a swivel, always watching both ball and man.  

Learning to properly close out and influence the basketball is a daily habit for Coach Urgo and his program. Urgo shows how they emphasize and teach which hand to close out with proper footwork and how to pressure the basketball as defenders.  By forcing opponents to shoot tough, contested 2-point shots, you will stifle the best shooters and limit your opponent's scoring opportunities.  

Coach Urgo has his team playing at the top of the Atlantic 10 Conference and performing as one of the best defensive teams in the country, year-in and year-out. By influencing toward the sideline and baseline, you can create a defense focused on tough, highly contested field goals. Furthermore, by combining tenacious half-court defense with a stifling 1-2-2 three-quarter court press, you'll have a tough defense to play against.

This is a must-watch defensive video for coaches at all levels. Coach Urgo presents the information in an easy-to-follow format that allows you to easily add these schemes into your own defensive system. Plus, your players will love possessing the ability to control the tempo of games and play in a style that best fits their abilities as a team.

Coach Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars. 'This is a really thorough video that describes two different ways to use a 1-2-2 three-quarter court press. I loved the way Coach Urgo presents his half-court shell drill and the emphasis he places on influencing toward the sideline and baseline!'

Early Offense 

Putting pressure on your opponents is key to any type of offense.  Coach Perry uses 2 types of fast break offense: Runouts and Transition.  

These 2 types of fast break offenses lead players to attack mode where players are trained to not freeze on the catch, if it's a good shot you like-take it, don't let the defense get settled, and look to score in the first 4 seconds.  

Coach Perry will use several early attack offenses including Chicago - stretch post player knocking down a shot or double stagger away.  

In Drag, your point guard will use a trail drag screen to hit a throwback 3pt shooter, pitch the ball ahead, and make the defenses 5 man useless on defense.  

In Pistol Action, you can use a pitch ahead for a handoff, flare screen, or re-screen scoring option to create scoring opportunities with a knock down shooter and your point guard attacking the rim.  

ATO's 

Every team needs an after timeout set that gets them a quick bucket or the score they need to keep momentum going in a game.  Coach Perry demonstrates several of his favorite after timeout sets they have used to get them a must needed score.  

Using a Horns Setup, Coach Perry will outline how you can use a random ball screen into your after timeout sets to keep your offense from being unscoutable.  

In Blast, you can use a Horns setup to create a backdoor play or turn it into a dribble handoff option for a pindown to get your best shooter open.  

Coach Perry will also demonstrate Zoom Options to use out of a Horn set to get a pick and roll or hit a shooter coming off of a flare screen.  

Bolstering your offense can take your program to the next level.  Transition offense is one phase of the game where you can control tempo, include early actions to score quickly, and look to pressure your opponents the entire length of the floor.  The Early offense actions that Coach Perry demonstrates will add to your teams fast paced style of play and lead to easy buckets.  Throw in a few after timeout sets and you will have your team rockin' and rolling on the offensive end.  This is a video you will want to add to use to grow your playbook and expand the scoring possibilities!

Half Court Defense

Terminology and points of emphasis are important to creating team chemistry.  Understanding and trusting where your teammates are going to be and if they have your back will create confidence and balance with your team.  

Coach Robinson teaches the terminology they use to force opponents to the baseline and sideline.  The defense starts with on ball pressure and continues with players being in lock or 1 pass away and denial.  Helpside defenders are moving while the ball is in the air and will help force opponents into the deep corner or jail part of the court.  

If a player gets beat off the dribble the goalie needs to be there to meet a driver outside of the paint and take any charges necessary to protect the rim.  Your half court defense cannot be successful without energy from all 5 on the floor!  This will help you install the basic terminology and movement in the half court. 

Daily Vitamin Drills 

Beginning with Closeouts, Coach Robinson shows how his players will get high hands and closeout to the high side of the defender to influence sideline and baseline.  Players cannot open their hips and allow easy access into the paint, but rather have their head on the players shoulder.  

As the ball is swung around, top side help will be on the ball with a closeout and chest up.  In 'chest drill', players are working on jumping from help into on ball pressure and taking a charge with their chest out and hands back.  

In '2v2 Energizers', players are going full court working from on ball pressure to helpside defense.  On ball defenders are working to cut off the ball handler and helpside defenders are going to work at getting to the level of the ball.  This is a great drill for teaching sprinting from one spot to the next and controlling the middle of the floor; an excellent conditioning drill that emphasizes man to man principles.  

In 'Big 3 Drill', players have to get a wall up, vertical contest, and take a charge.  This drill is one of the best defensive drills that teaches technique and how to be in the proper position and is one that brings high energy to your practices!  This is a must have drill to add to your package of drills to help build toughness and grit to get that stop when you need one!

Building your defense brick by brick begins with consistent defensive drills.  Building the fundamentals of your defense will help your team play solid lock down defense.  Through 'Daily Vitamin' drills, your players will feel confident they can stop any high powered offense and force them to play right into your game plan!  Coach Robinson will help guide you to bring the energy and effort to your practices everyday!

You'll get:

• Two variations of the fast break (loaded and balanced)
• Player roles and positioning
• Drills that place an emphasis on getting the best shot

Introduction

To begin with, Coach La Rocque explains why they run transition offense and poses several questions a coach needs to consider before playing this style. La Rocque discusses how they structure their break and where they position players; emphasizing that many of these concepts are player and talent driven, La Rocque puts players where they can succeed the most based on their skill set. 

Coach La Rocque also outlines a balanced floor vs a loaded floor in transition. Very similar to a two-sided break, the loaded floor provides many scoring options for a fast point guard or a dominant post player.

Installing a Fast-Paced System

After describing a balanced vs a loaded floor, Coach La Rocque shows how to run the Tippers and Sliders drill which gets players in scenarios where they experience both kinds. 

To begin, the players are put through a balanced floor which is more traditional. During these drills actions are scripted to help them begin to learn the different reads and scoring options. Following the balanced floor, players are then shown the loaded floor within the same drill.

The next portion of the video includes drills that show how Coach La Rocque builds up her transition offense and gets players to make reads at a high pace while looking for the advantage. 

• The Transition Buildup drill begins with a two on one and progresses to five on five. 
• The Quick Strike drill is a great way to condition your team while learning the system. A very competitive drill, it will get your players in a competitive game where they will learn how to hunt the best shot as quickly as possible. 
• To conclude, Coach La Roque shares the 4 on 3 Scramble drill which gets players to find the advantage and attack the advantage.

Coach La Rocque has taken her team to new heights in a short period of time; her transition offense is one of the many weapons she has deployed to create a formidable high-scoring team game after game, season after season. With this terrific video, you will learn how La Rocque sets up this high-octane offense and prepare to employ it with your own team in the seasons ahead!

In this fantastic video, Coach Hudy will share multiple drills that will have players working on game-like actions and help them become the best version of themselves on the court. 

Dynamic Warmup 

Every game and action begins with properly stretching, loosening, and warming up your muscles.  Getting them to fire on all cylinders at a high rate is the goal.  In this on court dynamic warmup, players will go through a series of motions with precise detail.  Coach Hudy will show you how to walk your team through each stretch and movement so you know how to properly warm up your athletes.  By doing all of the warm up through walking, skipping, and running your players will learn how to build up their muscles and prepare them for explosive actions. 

Speed and Agility

Building players speed and ability to cut can give them an advantage.  Little things can separate your players from the competition.  Using speed ladders and mini hurdles your players will learn how to bound, hop, jump, and have quick feet.  In ladder hops, players are using one leg to work on explosiveness and strengthening their ankles and feet just as they would in the weight room.  By putting in work on the court, your players can mimic what they would do in the weight room and help build actions on the court.  Using hurdle drills, players will learn how to properly jump and land soft to help prevent injury all while creating explosive action to jump up and either get a rebound or get into their shooting motion.   

Cone Drills 

Every coach can benefit by employing useful cone drills that help to mimic players movements on the court.  From defensive stance to stop and go turning, cone drills have been a staple in developing players' reactions.  Coach Hudy demonstrates a variety of drills using cones, but also explains how you can use variations in your practices to help train athletes to be at peak basketball performance.  In acceleration drills, players are learning to use both feet to change or switch directions.  Players have to start with a different foot each time they go in the drill.  By starting with a hop in place, the coach can teach them to wait for the reaction and push off with their inside foot.   This works explosively as players sprint from baseline to free throw or half court.  Building from individual cone drills to relay races using a tennis ball or towel, Hudy works to make these drills fun and competitive.  This can help build team chemistry as players are competing against each other.

Conditioning 

Training players to sprint and turn in different directions will help them be prepared for any twisting and turning the game brings.  Using heavy conditioning at the end of your workout helps build toughness and teach players to push through late in the game.  Coach Hudy uses 22's to help train players in the full court.  In 22's coach gives players commands and which way they should turn as they sprint from one end to the other.  By giving players a 1 minute break in between she will help build their endurance and train players in stop and go like actions. Finishing with a 55, coach combines all of her heavy conditioning to make players sprint from the free throw all the way to the opposite end in 55 seconds.  

Preparing players to play at a high speed and be able to turn and twist in game-like actions gives players an advantage.  Speed and agility training has helped build today's basketball player into a machine on the court.  Coach Hudy is one of the best at working with basketball players and training them to play at high performance.  You will love the on court drills and simple instruction coach provides to train your players!
