Long-time head coach Kurt Guelsdorf has always worked to put his players in the best possible situation to be successful. Over the years, he has learned and studied some of the best coaches in today's game, including innovator/founder of the dribble drive motion offense, Vance Walberg.

In this video, Coach Guelsdorf demonstrates numerous sets and entries that are simple and easy to implement with your team within the dribble drive offense.

Coaching Points

Starting with basic alignments, Guelsdorf sets up the dribble drive motion offense, making sure you understand where to look for open driving gaps and lanes. Within the offense, he shows how to properly space out your players in order to maximize driving angles. As your team swings the ball from side to side, you will create more open gap opportunities and be able to use the backdoor option as your players attack the middle of the floor.

False Motion and Isolation

In seven different sets and entries, Guelsdorf demonstrates and explains the importance of false action as a way to set up the defense and create scoring opportunities for your best players. In Rocket, he uses a series of loop cuts as the ball is swung around the perimeter to create an open driving gap from the wing to set up a pitch back to your shooting guard. This opens a great scoring opportunity for a shot or easy drive to the rim.

In his isolation sets, Guelsdorf overloads one side of the floor to open up space for your best player to operate. You can even utilize your post players in an isolation play using various cuts, giving your best post player room in the paint.

3-Point Specials

Next, you'll get various 3-point special plays that will provide your best shooter an open look from anywhere using ball screen-flare screen action off a drive. These are great sets for you to use at the end of the quarter, after a timeout, or if you need a last-second buzzer beater!

Box Sets and BLOBS

Rounding out this advanced look at the dribble drive motion offense, Guelsdorf includes box sets and baseline out of bounds sets that flow right into your dribble drive motion offense. Using some of the same concepts as you overload one side of the floor, you can use mismatches to your advantage and open driving gaps for your best players.

Coach Guelsdorf gives you a detailed look at how you can improve your dribble drive motion offense using simple sets and entries that flow right into dribble drive action. Whether you're looking for another set to create a scoring opportunity or more actions to get the ball moving in your offense, you'll get it all, and more, in this video!

Vance Walberg's Dribble Drive offense has taken the basketball world by storm. An idea 10 years ago, this system has evolved into an offensive attack adopted by John Calipari, Larry Brown, Lawrence Frank and hundreds of coaches of all levels all over the world. Based on a unique two point guard (attackers) set, this attack is complemented by two wings and a rim-running post player. The offense features two unconventional ideas: there are no screens and the post player runs to the weak side of the floor. Both features create more space for dribble penetration. Walberg breaks down each player's movement on the floor according to ball penetration. As players react to penetration they move into drag, drop and rack zones. The goal is to create spacing and gaps and to get to the rack. Walberg also teaches middle and baseline penetration and the kick-back option that can produce open 3-point shots or open drives to the basket. In addition, Walberg goes through his "Daily 45 Drills," which he runs the first 45 minutes of each practice. These fast moving drills teach the fundamentals needed to run the Dribble Drive Attack Offense - including his famous "Blood Drills." These drills focus on shooting, passing, footwork, cutting, catching and pivoting. Walberg demonstrates every part of the Dribble Drive Attack in various 3-on-2, 2-on-1 full court breakdown drills. Throughout, he highlights the key drills and teaching points he uses to build the offense. Sports Illustrated calls Vance Walberg "the Master" of the Dribble Drive Offense and one of the top innovators in the game of basketball today. Now you can learn this fun and high scoring way to play from the inventor himself!

Villanova head coach Jay Wright is one of the nation's top basketball coaches. In this video, you'll see why he's also considered one of the best teachers of the game as well. Coach Wright shares his three-quarter court, 1-2-2 defensive pressure scheme. This is the same scheme that aided in the Wildcats' run to the 2016 NCAA Championship.

Coach Wright shares four base strategies you can use to defend out of a three-quarter court 1-2-2 defense. He runs through additional plays and strategies and shows you how to convert back into a 1-3-1 or 2-3 zone defense. You will also see how to effectively guard ball screens when defending zone offense.

Basic Multiple Defense Concepts

In order to teach a scheme, a coach must first understand the various layers of the underlying philosophy. Coach Wright provides viewers with the complete knowledge necessary for coaches looking to apply the packaged set with their teams.

Coach Wright explains the setup of the 1-2-2 press and, based on the physical traits of certain players, where they should play. He gives five reasons to run a press and emphasizes the one thing the press absolutely cannot give up. He also covers the five rules he uses and the responsibilities each position has.

Defensive Plays

Coach Wright shows what the great teams try to do and how you need to be prepared for it. He shows where they like to trap and how they come out to trap. Ball reversal, skip passes, and back row containment are covered as well. Coach Wright breaks down various defensive scenarios to using the multiple defensive scheme. You will:

• Learn the concept of attack small and retreat big and how to fake trap and trap
• Discover how to keep the ball out of the middle of the floor
• Learn how to get your players to get to ball side of the defense
• See how to convert or get back on defense to avoid giving up an open 3-point shot

1-3-1 and 2-3 Defenses

You'll see how to convert back into a 1-3-1 and 2-3 zone out of a multiple defense look. Coach Wright shows you:

• How to teach your players to stay aggressive while playing zone defense
• How to "tag" someone so that players know who they're guarding and boxing out while in zone defense
• How to use man principles to play zone defense

1-1-2-1 Press

Coach Wright shows the 1-1-2-1, which initially looks identical to the 1-2-2 press. This defense is more of a conservative press and it is used whenever they play a half court 2-3 zone defense. He shows how to start in the 1-1-2-1 press and then how to convert to a 2-3 zone. The session then moves into how Coach Wright plays the 2-3 zone with the rules and responsibilities associated for each position. The key for their zone defense is every defender should be matched up with an offensive player on every shot. You'll see how the zone handles ball screens, overloads, and post ups.

Guarding Against Ball Screens

Learn the concept of spacing when playing against ball screens. Coach Wright shows you how to deny shooters off ball screens. He also gives you how to have a player being screened go under and over the zone depending on the skills of the player they're guarding.

Coach Wright gives you the complete package to installing the multiple defense with your team. From traps, to fake traps to staying aggressive in multiple defenses, this video is a must have for all defensive minded coaches.

with Frank Martin,
University of South Carolina Head Coach;
2017 Final Four;
2017 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year;
former Kansas State University Head Coach; 2010 Big 12 Coach of the Year

Through practice footage and on-court clinic instruction, Frank Martin dissects the details for building his team's pressure half-court man-to-man defense. These drills will help you build a defensive unit capable of shutting down opponents on a consistent basis. Martin's smothering defense combines an aggressive man-to-man defense with pack line principles. Every drill has a purpose to teach his players how to communicate and build trust with each other and the coaching staff.

Defense Set-up

As a coach who firmly believes in pressure half-court defense, Coach Martin begins with the most basic concept of pressuring the basketball. The pick-up point of the defense is at the half-court line with the on-ball defender working to force the ball one way while keeping it out of the middle. By being on the line, up the line, and getting skinny, teammates are able to pressure the ball. This forces the offense to dribble and look for dribble pull-up shots instead of finding open teammates with a better scoring opportunity.

Off the ball, all four remaining defenders play up the line and deny all passes. The most notable concept is that the further the man being defended is from the ball, the closer the defender is to help. Being in the gaps between the ball and the man being guarded puts even more pressure on the ball handler.

Martin's defense comes down to attitude and aggressiveness. Pressuring the ball and passing lanes up the line fuels defensive intensity. This level of intensity leads to the opponent getting taken completely out of their offense.

Post Defense

Martin wants defenders to be closer to the ball than their man, which means post players must work to break contact with the offense and stay up the line. As the ball moves below the free throw line, post players get to the baseline and close the gap between the ball and post offense. They must also be able to guard away from the basket, developing a quick first step to cut off their defender.

In the Short Closeout drill, post players progress from a closeout where they square off. Offensive players add a dribble so defenders can work on a big, quick first step to level off the dribbler.

4-on-4 Full Court

Coach Martin uses 4-on-4 Full Court to install all of his principles that were taught in break down drills. By extending his aggressive man-to-man principles, he looks to wear out the opponent and force turnovers late in the game. Players must be able to 'sell out' in help if the ball handler beats their defender. The second line of pressure must use the principle of stunt and stay to force the ball handler to make a decision in the open court.

Once in the half court, Martin's defense is put to the test defending ball screen action, cross screens, and down screens. As the ball screen occurs, help side players shorten the gap between the ball handler and their man, assuring there is help on the post player that rolls or pops.

Open Court Situations

Using a constant full court build up drill, your players will attack the basket in the open court and learn to never give up on the play as a defender. Starting with 2-on-1 and building to 3-on-2, players apply their stunt and stay principle in the open court, forcing offensive players to make a choice between keeping the ball or passing in a tight space.

Ball Screen Coverage

Continuing to build on his ball screen coverage, Martin has players work on going under the screen. In this half court situation drill, athletes work to be up the line, on the line, and closer to the ball than to their man. The corner help side defender must slide up the line to stay with a shooter rising from the corner and cut the gap on the post player rolling to the basket.

Cut Defensive Drill

The Cut Defensive drill is used by Coach Martin to teach defensive breakdowns. This drill works on teaching playing up the line and denying passes on backdoor cuts. To take away backdoor cuts, the on-ball defender must be able to pressure without fouling and the off-ball defenders must be able to stay up the line and deny without giving up their gaps.

Defending Screens

Coach Martin starts with an inside ball screen, teaching his players to force "down" the screen or "ice" the ball handler. As the screen is set, guards listen for the communication from the post defender to flip their feet and get on the inside hip in order to prevent the split.

With a UCLA or smash screen, Martin uses the same principles as "downing" a screen. Guards get 'skinny' while the post defender gives space for their teammate to get through the screen and prevent a slip or pop off the screen. With a stagger screen, defenders continue using the same principles to get skinny and chase the offense, whether over the top or through multiple stagger sets. Defenders should already be up the line and closer to the ball, allowing them an easier path to deny a shooter.

Transition Defense

A complete defensive philosophy wouldn't be complete without building up transition defense. In 2-on-1 and 3-on-2, defenders work to stunt and stay, allowing time for the defense to get back and help off the ball. In 4-on-3 plus 1, the defense creates a triangle off of a missed shot or long rebound as they scramble to stop easy dribble penetration or quick skip passes for open shots.

former Assistant Coach at Iowa State University and the University of Washington

Up-and-coming head coach T.J. Otzelberger has implemented a fast-paced style of play at South Dakota State. Through his coaching philosophy, his players have learned to play at an up-tempo pace on both offense and defense.

In this video, you'll get an inside look at how Coach Otz teaches transition play into an attacking half court offense. Additionally, you'll learn how to craft a competitive practice session that gets players focused on one possession at a time.

Transition

A staple of Coach Otzelberger's offense is transition and getting the ball into the scoring area as quickly as possible to put pressure on the defense. He details how to push the ball up and down the floor and use your fast break to attack gaps in the defense. Using various transition drills, Otzelberger outlines how he creates a culture of playing fast with the goal of scoring at the rim as quickly as possible.

Skill Development

During the skill development portion of this video, you'll see two opportunities where players are broken out into two different groups. Each session is centered around creating driving angles in a gap or a double gap setting. Posts learn to rotate as the drive comes toward the basket while guards learn to attack and recognize gaps as the ball is moved around the court. In the second session, guards and posts learn to take pride in their defense.

Half Court Play

Once in the half court, Otzelberger demonstrates various actions he likes to use to open the floor up for driving angles or create downhill action as fast as possible. In the 6 Possession game, players get up and down the floor in transition and utilize dribble hand-offs, step up screens, and flip actions to get the offense going.

This open practice video gives you a detailed look at a fast-paced style of play. Coach Otzelberger does an excellent job of breaking down the actions that will lead to open gaps and driving angles for your players to attack.

T.J. Otzelberger, a rising star in college basketball coaching, shares an inside look into how he teaches his defensive system. Everything about Otzelberger's defense is designed to force opponents into tough shots and then rebound the basketball to quickly transition into offense and score easy buckets. Once you're done watching this video, you will understand why his teams are consistently ranked in the top 10 in the country for defensive rebounding.

Stance, Slides, and Closeouts

Defense begins with the basics: stance, slide, and closing out. Coach Otzelberger demonstrates how his team uses low, wide, and active stances. Keeping active hands allows players to use their hands as weapons to deflect passes, but avoid fouling. High, early hands on a closeout ensures your players attack the shooter as they prepare to load for a shot. This defensive style will help your team disrupt any offensive action.

Ball Screen Defense

In today's game, having lock-down ball screen defense is a must. Your team must be prepared with multiple ways to defend a ball screen while also having a go-to defense that can disrupt even the best ball handlers. In his side ball screen defense segment, Otzelberger teaches his players to have a wide, open stance and wall up/chest up the driver as they come off the ball screen.

Alley Drill

Continuing to build 1-on-1 defense, the Alley Drill pushes players to their limits. In this competitive drill, each team sends their athletes through the "alley." Defensive players work to keep their opponent in front of them in the lane line alley. They have to use good angles to cut off offensive players and force them to turn.

Coach Otzleberger demonstrates how to build a defensive philosophy from the ground up to ensure your team uses constant ball pressure and active hands. This is a great video for any coach looking to pick up a few new defensive drills or add to their own defensive philosophy.

Analytics are becoming a popular way of evaluating team strengths and deficiencies, as well as a way to identify the best shots in basketball. This has resulted in teams across the country at every level depending more on the 3-point shot. The fact is, the best teams in basketball are efficient 3-point shooters, so to compete and become the best in your league it's imperative that your team shoots it well from beyond the arc.

Jeff Young's teams have historically been great at 3-point shooting partly due to the fact that shooting is emphasized every day in practice. In this presentation, Young opens his drill book to show you multiple individual and team shooting drills. He also shares his philosophy on changing a player's shot and how to perfect their shooting mechanics while getting high reps in practice.

Teaching Points

Coach Young begins by breaking down his philosophy and the rationale behind it for shooting the basketball. His insights will challenge any preconceived notions on shooting mechanics you might have and get you to start analyzing your beliefs about shooting. His discussion ranges from the feet to the follow-through and everything in between, including confidence and the mental aspect of shooting.

Improving 3-Point Shooting

Coach Young discusses the three points of emphasis that his program reinforces to develop great 3-point shooters: recruit great shooters, shot selection, and repetition. He breaks down each part and discusses other things such as shooting off of receiving a bad pass vs. shooting off of a good pass and how to control shot selection. In a typical Coach Young practice, the team spends a minimum of 30 minutes each day on shooting, working mostly on catch-and-shoot situations.

Shooting Drills

Young breaks down shooting into individual and team drills. Each drill has an element of time and score for a player to reach or to compete against and ends with a consequence to add a level of competitiveness. You'll get five individual shooting drills and four team shooting drills.

How coaches teach is just as important as what they teach athletes. In this video, Doug Bruno gives you the foundation around which you can build your own coaching philosophy.

Bruno has been regarded as one of the best basketball minds in today's game. His ability to teach at a deliberate pace where players can focus on detail has resulted in top-rated offensive teams year in and year out. From learning to build a better player to improving your teaching method, you will become a better basketball coach and teacher by watching Coach Bruno explain his philosophy.

10 Ingredients of a Building a Better Player

Bruno spends time explaining how you can develop your players through daily skill development. He not only stresses becoming a player skill-wise, but also mentally and emotionally. The ingredients that make a dynamic and complete basketball player, according to Coach Bruno, include:

• A love to compete.
• Ball handling skills and performance in pressure situations.
• Attention to footwork.
• Focus on all aspects of offensive moves: with/without the ball, on the bounce, in triple threat and in the post.
• Great eyes and vision.
• Listening ability and being coachable in order to develop IQ.

Teaching Method

A player is only as good as their teacher. Learning to become a great teacher and developing a method where players will flourish is just as important as having the right mindset.

Players need to know the teaching mode and attitude of practice every day. Understanding what kind of day and teaching they will receive that day creates the perfect setting for learning and developing skill.

Bruno explains how starting slow and building through demonstration, imitation, and repetition will create the perfect learning environment for players to develop their optimal skills.

Offense and Drills

Coach Bruno uses one of his favorite offensive drills to demonstrate how his philosophy works. Starting with simple triple threat situation, he shows how to use a shot fake and attack an open gap. He builds onto this by adding crossover footwork and executing a change of direction move.

While developing a guard in the open court, Bruno turns his attention to the other part of offense: players without the ball. He teaches how to get open using a V-cut and use a backdoor cut for an open layup. As he lays his foundation, he also progressively builds the 1-4 offensive system with scoring options off of a hand off, fake hand off, square up and attack, and split/slip option.

Coach Bruno's offensive philosophy, through detailed player individual development, is one that every coach, at any level, will appreciate and find applicable to use with their team in the seasons ahead!

tied the school record for the most wins ever by an Xavier rookie head coach (26).

In this on-court presentation, University of Louisville head coach Chris Mack passes on some great insights and plays that you can use to attack zone defenses. He shares his five principles to concentrate on when facing a zone and gives you a couple of effective continuity sets. Additionally, you'll get inbound plays designed to be used against zone defenses.

Five Zone Offense Principles

Coach Mack begins with some important thoughts on his five principles to beating zone defenses. It all begins with having an attacking mentality, which is echoed throughout the rest of the video in everything he shares. Mack then breaks down the other four principles, which include: ways to get the ball to the logo, running set plays, picking on the gray areas, and getting second shots. Each of these topics are covered on the court as the video progresses.

Next, Coach Mack gets into some of his essential offensive concepts. He talks about a few of the goals he has with his own offense, including getting the ball to the logo or free throw line area. You'll see him demonstrate why having your baseline athlete stay below the defense can get the zone to flatten out, as well as ways to get players open on the perimeter as the ball goes into the logo area. One quick option that he passes on is called "Carolina Wheel," which is a simple action that drags the defender away from the corner and creates a wide open 3-pointer.

Sets Versus the Zone

Coach Mack gives you some great set plays to use against a zone. All of the plays he shows are simple and offer up easy scoring opportunities at the rim. He explains that getting a set play for a 3-pointer isn't his goal. Rather, he wants his team to work hard at getting high-percentage shots from close range.

Next, Mack progresses further into his five principles and talks about the "gray areas." These important areas are key to getting the defense off-balance and you can learn to exploit them by using "step outs" and "sneak cuts" to create opportunities. Mack then shows how to use ball screen action to move the defense to places its not designed to go.

Rebounding and Inbound Plays

Rebounding is an effort area of the game. Coach Mack shares strategies that his staff uses to hold players accountable for this important concept. By tracking his players' rebounding in games and during practice, he is able to show them who is and who isn't doing their job on the boards.

Finally, Mack passes on inbound plays to score from a dead ball situation. Free baskets can be gained when running these plays.

Take advice from one of the top coaches in the game today on what it takes from your players individually and as a team, and the kind of feedback and observational coaching/feedback needed from your staff, to put together an offensive attack to beat a zone defense!

with Vance Walberg,
Clovis West (CA) High School Head Coach;
former Sacramento Kings (NBA) Assistant Coach;
Creator of the Innovative Dribble Drive Attack Offense,
former Fresno City College Head Coach - 2005 California JC Undefeated State Champions

"In the dribble drive, you're teaching your players how to play basketball, not to run plays."

That's the philosophy of Vance Walberg, the creator of the dribble drive offense, and is exactly why his teams have been known to consistently get better as the season goes on. In this video, Coach Walberg covers many of the concepts that have turned the dribble drive into a popular offensive system, and he shares countless coaching nuggets that are invaluable to coaches who already run the dribble drive or are thinking about implementing it.

Offensive Tactics

Coach Walberg begins by offering the numbering system that he uses with his team at Clovis West. You'll see where he wants his players to get to on the floor to optimize spacing, as well as why he calls his traditional "5-man" a 4-man instead, and vice versa. Additionally, Walberg shares many of the details that coaches often overlook when teaching the dribble drive.

Next, you'll learn the three things that will never change about the dribble drive offense according to Coach Walberg, no matter how much it evolves over time:

• Attack Mentality - Every time a player touches the ball, they need to think "score"
• Open the Gaps - After passing the ball, players need to cut to open up space to score
• Spacing Off Penetration - Once the ball has been taken inside, athletes need to make sure they space the floor to provide additional scoring opportunities

Dribble Drive Actions

Throughout the video, Walberg runs through a number of early-offense actions for the dribble drive. He details how to attack the defense depending on how the opposing team likes to guard off-ball players, including when they face-guard, deny high side, or play flat along the baseline. The idea of reading the defense and attacking where it's weak becomes central when Coach Walberg shows how to get an easy bucket when a post defender steps up to help on drive, allowing the attacking player to lob to the defender's man or convert on a contested layup. The layup can be tough to make, but often results in a trip to the free throw line or an easy cleanup bucket for the vacated post player.

Daily Drills

In order to convert more quick buckets inside, Walberg shares a drill that requires post players to finish three layups in quick succession. The more comfortable athletes become with making close baskets quickly, the more likely they'll make them during a game. He also gives you a 5-man drill designed for the dribble drive that mimics an action often utilized in the offense.

To close, Walberg demonstrates his "Drop Layups" drill as well as a few of his favorite shooting drills. Drop Layups adds purpose to finishing practice by tasking players to focus on the little things that are important for the dribble drive, including passing, timing, attacking the correct spots on the floor and relocating. Finally, you'll get the Olympic Shooting, 5-Spots and Star drills, which are great shooting drills for the beginning of practice.

There's no one better to explain the origins and insights of the unstoppable dribble drive than Coach Walberg. This video serves as a great example why the offense has proven effective at multiple levels and is a fantastic resource for you to reference as you build your own dribble drive system.

You get the chance to see how Porter Moser and his team are working to make a repeat visit to the Final Four in this exclusive look inside one of the Ramblers' off-season practices following their impressive tournament showing.

Coach Moser opens the session by sharing the three rules his team has in the locker room:

• Protect the Team
• No Excuses, No Complaining, No Entitlement/li>
• Be Early/li>

The "No Entitlement" part of those rules has been the Ramblers' focus after garnering so much attention from the media. Moser has placed a big emphasis on maintaining his team's rich culture throughout the off-season and he shares many of his leadership techniques throughout this video.

Warm-Up, Perfection and Shooting Drills

To kick off the practice, Moser instructs his team to complete the 130 Passes one-minute drill that requires the ball to never hit the ground. The drill is an easy way to make sure that your players are present mentally and ready to compete at practice. Next, the team rolls right into Moser's "Perfection Drills." These drills call for perfection, according to Moser, because they involve layups and no defense.

Coach Moser showcases two of his favorite shooting drills that have helped the Ramblers convert more shots, especially from 3-point range. "One More Shooting" and "Full-Court 3-Point Shooting" are competitive drills that will push your players to focus and nail more shots.

Skill Work

Loyola-Chicago's culture on the court is predicated on a "pace and space" philosophy. You'll see that come through as you observe some of the offensive skill work specific to guards and posts that Moser uses with his team. Everything must be at high speed, and no detail is spared as athletes complete every rep. This section is valuable because you'll see the Ramblers split into both halves of the court depending on position and operate simultaneously.

Once players have been through the offensive circuit, it's time to move to defense. Staying in their position groups, you'll see them work on defensive fundamentals like moving feet and maintaining active hands. These skills, and many more, are improved through a variety of drills.

Finally, guards and posts come together to complete combined skill work. Coach Moser especially wants his team to work on ball screens on both sides of the ball.

Competitive Drills and Games

Much of the second half of this video is spent on team drills that put players in game-like situations so Coach Moser can provide critiques. These drills will give you plenty of feedback about what each of your athletes needs to do to get better. Moser's version of the Shell drill is especially useful as it's run in the full court as opposed to the half court. This forces players to remain active and exposes lazy tendencies.

To close the practice, Moser gives you two games that pit your players against each other. 7, 8, 9 Free Throws puts pressure on your athletes to knock down shots at the line in order to come away with a win, making it a great drill for virtually any practice.

Coach Moser has quickly built a dominant team at Loyola-Chicago, but he's done it the old-fashioned way - through a culture of hard work and attention to detail. This video shows exactly the kind of practices that you'll want to emulate to take your own program to new heights in the seasons ahead!

Developed by the Bennett family, the pack line defense has proven to be one of the toughest defenses in basketball to crack. Matt Woodley spent three years as an assistant coach under Tony Bennett at Washington State and learned the ins-and-outs of the pack line defense and what it takes to make it work.

In this presentation, Coach Woodley uses classroom sessions, on-court demonstrations and video instruction to not only break down and install the basic pack line defense, but also to demonstrate specific teaching drills and address almost every situation opponents will throw at the pack line. In this comprehensive video, Coach Woodley passes along his extensive knowledge, giving you everything you need to immediately implement the pack line with your team.

Pack Line Defense - Questions Answered

This instructional classroom session is a valuable tool to help you understand how the pack line works and why defenders do what they do within the defense. Coach Woodley addresses the secrets of the pack line defense, defensive staples used in the pack line and keys to the defense. Each talking point shows how and why the pack line is one of the most difficult defenses to score against.

Pack Line Defense - Overview

This overview challenges a myth about the pack line: the belief that it isn't a "pressure" defense. Coach Woodley explains the need to put pressure on the ball and other concepts necessary for success. He covers different situations that come up during a game and how your team can address each one. From ball screens, to transition defense and even turnover defense, you will get everything needed to develop the pack line.

Pack Line Defense - Breakdown Drills

Using on-court demonstrations and practice video analysis, Coach Woodley shows how to break down each concept of the pack line. Drills covering transition defense, ball screens, off-ball screens, post ups, closeouts and other actions are all covered.

Most man-to-man defenses require players to help and recover on closeouts. With the pack line, your players are only required to recover. Coach Woodley demonstrates three type of closeouts and how to defend specific actions used to attack the pack line.

The 4-on-4 Shell Drill is a staple in almost all practices around the country. Coach Woodley shows five versions of the Shell Drill that will help your team learn to defend against the different actions they'll face in a game.

with David Arseneault Jr,
Grinnell College Head Coach;
former Head Coach of the NBA's G-League Reno Bighorns ('14-'16);
3x Finalist for the Bob Cousy Award;
NCAA Division III's All-Team Leader in Career Assists Average

Grinnell College has long set the standard for up-tempo, high scoring games at any level of basketball. Their style of play is centered entirely around playing faster than their opponents can handle.

David Arseneault Jr. has implemented changes to this system to make it more effective for the latest trends in modern basketball. In this video, you will learn how to create more possessions and score more points than ever before with a detailed breakdown of Grinnell's entire offensive and defensive philosophy. You'll see how to set up your transition offense, score through quick hitters in numerous special situations, develop your team's shooting ability, and force quick turnovers with full and half court pressure defenses.

Transition Offense

Coach Arseneault explains how to organize your team to play with a 12 second shot clock. Grinnell wants to spread the floor as much as possible to allow their preferred playmaker to create. Each player on the floor has specific responsibilities to run to different spots on the floor for unique scoring options. You will see how these roles change depending on whether you start your fast break off a make, miss, or turnover.

Half-Court Offense

Grinnell has figured out how to optimize a deep bench with a platooning substitution system. Each group has unique plays they can flow into when the transition attack fails to produce a high-quality shot.

You will see three strategies used to maximize the effectiveness of their "pecking order." Additionally, three plays are shown for when Grinnell must advance the ball following a dead ball situation. These plays feature high ball screens, stagger screens, and combination actions with dribble hand-offs and ball screens.

Special Situations

Teams that truly play fast must maintain the pace and effectiveness of their offense through any strategy that opponents throw at them.

You will learn how to space the floor with shooters to take down zone defenses. Coach Arseneault also shows how to move your playmaker into positions that are best able to breakdown a zone. You'll see how to quickly flow into your primary offense as quickly as possible from sideline and baseline inbound situations.

Skill Development

Your team needs to be full of shooters to excel in this system. Coach Arseneault demonstrates four shooting drills his team uses to develop their shooting ability. These drills will add variety to your practices while giving players the repetitions they need to refine their technique and extend the range of their shot.

Grinnell also breaks up their skill development into positional groups to practice the shots that players will take in games. These quick drills show different ways to finish at the rim, shoot off the dribble, space for a shot off dribble penetration, and score from the low post.

Pressure Defense

Playing fast on offense is only half the battle. To match the extreme pace that Grinnell plays at requires a commitment on both sides of the ball.

The full court and half court pressure defense they use to force quick turnovers is broken down for you to use with your team. You will learn how to match up on the inbound with a hybrid man/zone full court press. The role for every defender in the press is also detailed so you can understand their responsibilities through changing game situations.

You can keep this pressure on for entire games with a strategy for pressing on misses. The Grinnell Shell drill is the ultimate practice segment for teaching your players to trap in the half court. You'll also get three breakdown drills that will help your defenders recover in disadvantage situations and close traps on an inbound pass.

Coach Arseneault provides an entire game plan to push the pace, spread the floor, and set records with your team next season!

Legendary high school basketball coach Tom Blackford opens his practice session to demonstrate his dominating 1-3-1 half-court defense. With over 30 years of experience and more than 400 career victories at two separate schools (Hamilton High School and Fayetteville Manlius High School), Coach Blackford has built programs that successfully contend for the New York state title year after year. In this exciting presentation, he shares his secrets to developing a smothering 1-3-1 defense.

In detailed manner, Coach Blackford teaches the responsibilities and actions of the chaser, wings, center and point guard. His primary emphasis here is letting players play without over-thinking their actions. He allows his players to trap and move freely within the parameters of simple rules.

When teaching this aggressive 1-3-1, Coach Blackford starts with two offensive players bringing the ball up against all five defenders. This technique develops the chaser's skills.

Next, the defense faces three offensive players with a focus on trapping and getting the ball out of the middle.

In the next phase, five offensive players set up in a 2-1-2 formation, the most common approach to attacking a 1-3-1 defense. Here the defense works on getting in the passing lanes, stopping dribble penetration, box out responsibilities, defending the high post, low post and dealing with the short corner.

To make the defense even more effective, Coach Blackford shows how the 1-3-1 can transform into a "Triangle & Two," "Box-in-One" or "Match-Up" defense in the middle of an offensive possession.

As a bonus, Coach Blackford spends 20 minutes on the offensive side of the ball demonstrating two shooting drills and three offensive plays. These plays include:

• Secondary - an offensive set that can quickly be run out of transition
• Syracuse - a play that uses multiple double screens
• Michigan State Interchange - a 4-out 1-in play with the post player giving back screen and ball screen action

Coach Blackford also shares some of the proven strategies he's used over the years to build successful programs.

This season, adjust and disguise your aggressive 1-3-1 defense on the fly using these proven strategies and techniques.

with Mike Brey,
University of Notre Dame Head Coach;
3x Big East Coach of the Year;
2012 Associated Press College Basketball Coach of the Year;
2012 USBWA Henry Iba National Coach of the Year

Mike Brey has quietly led Notre Dame, renowned for its historic football program, to compete at the highest levels of college basketball. Using a motion-based, free-flowing offensive scheme that emphasizes sharing of the ball and playing together, Brey's teams have served notice to college basketball's elite after winning titles in both the Big East and ACC conferences in recent years.

While not always equipped with elite recruits, Brey has used X's and O's to help bridge the gap, level the playing field, and maximize his team's ability to win. In this video, you'll learn how Coach Brey builds fundamental excellence by progressing through 2-on-0 to 5-on-0 offensive drills, to full 5-on-5 competitive workouts.

By working on small-sided games, individual shooting, passing and pick & roll sessions, coaches can see how the highly successful Notre Dame program is built from the ground up. Key concepts covered in this video include:

• Transition offense and how to flow into a lethal half-court offense
• The vital role of the low post player in flattening out the defense
• How to build solid offensive footwork that translates to increased game scoring

With this inside, no-hold-barred look at practice, you'll see how Coach Brey's relentlessly positive coaching style builds teamwork and trust between players.

Day 1 Practice:

The opening 70 minutes is entirely devoted to offense, both at the micro (individual, pairs) and macro (four- and five-player units) levels. While stressing the importance of players learning to play together as a way to facilitate chemistry and efficiency, Brey paces the team through a series of build-up exercises that ultimately culminate in the full, free-flowing offensive machine that is evident on game days. Points of emphasis include:

• Building from 2-man, to 3-on-0, to 4-on-0, to 5-on-0, to 5-on-5 as a way of incrementally putting the pieces together to make the whole.
• A review of game film by Coach Brey in order to demonstrate and explain the importance of an unpredictable offensive system driven by motion to obtain high percentage shots.
• 2-on-0 drills pairing bigs and littles together in order to simulate and break down the most common offensive interactions between the two that are contained within the scheme.
• Individual development, with stations split by post and perimeter, in order to work the skill sets needed to thrive in a systematically open offensive attack.
• Shell-based, 5-on-0 offensive execution of sets such as Cutters, Circle, Wide etc. as a means to develop the timing and pace necessary to maximize opportunities.
• Transition offensive execution, both 5-on-0 and 5-on-5, as a way to increase pace and score while possessing a numbers advantage.

Day 2 Practice:

The second practice continues the emphasis on offensive execution and the `parts-to-whole' ideology of building team offense, but with a few additions and wrinkles. While the focus is still offensively motivated, a defensive element is now factored in as the final variable to completing the offensive equation. You'll see:

• Individual shooting exercises that develop an array of move sets based upon the position (post vs perimeter).
• Shell-based defensive drills that require communication, quick reaction time, and four- and five-player units acting as one in order to increase recognition and awareness to achieve consecutive stops.
• Multiple sets such as Cutters, Circle, Wide, and Slide executed in a 5-on-0 setting to achieve the proper pace, spacing, and timing.
• The previously mentioned sets executed out of a transition attack to emphasize the seamless transition from fast-break to half-court offense.
• Several instances of 5-on-5 action, both in the half-court as well as transition, in order to put all the previously worked on elements of team offense to the test.
• A creative end-of-practice team-based free-throw drill that calls for shooting under pressure.

Coach Brey has countless coaching nuggets regarding offensive timing and the many options in the motion offense that make it virtually impossible to scout. For any coach who want to get their team playing better together and advance their offensive effectiveness to the next level, this video gives you a blueprint of how to do exactly that!

"I think it was tremendous! Brey is super thorough, explaining why his team does this or why they do that. His breakdown drills are tremendous for his Motion Offense. Love his 5-Out Motion as well! That would be tough to guard. His team is so disciplined, smart, and spaced on offense. This one of the best Open Practice/All Access-type videos I have seen." - Customer Review

In this DVD presentation, Vance Walberg reviews some of the basic principles and terminology from his top selling original DVD before heading into an examination of his new innovations for areas of the dribble-drive attack. In the review, Coach Walberg goes back to defining the offensive terminology, spacing, player positions, court break down and the basic premise of lane penetration. Walberg analyzes shot selection, his two extras, what "shot means", back responsibilities, like 3's-love layups, ways to play the 4-man, importance of passing and cutting, importance of backdoors, what to do when the ball goes into the post, the value of the jump stop, "AASAA", and the gaps.

Over its existence, Coach Walberg has made many modifications of the Dribble Drive. Some of the new innovations he demonstrates here include the S-gap; use of the dribble; the cuts-basket, T-cut, rub cut, X cut, corner cut and thumb cut; the value of eyes up; the value of the shoulders; and the tear drop shot and pass.

The transition into the dribble-drive attack offense is very important to its success. Walberg takes you through the players' positioning and responsibilities in transition as well as key points of emphasis and five fast break drills to create proper spacing to flow into the dribble drive seemlessly. His drills are all competitive with many teaching components for the offensive system involved.

In trying to stop the dribble drive, teams first adjustment is to go zone. Walberg teaches you how to take advantage of any zone with the dribble-drive attack. His strategies include push action, 2-game, push with 2 game, push off the pass, bump, bump off the pass, drag, "22", "23", "24", and push-fist. Each action is shown and explained in great detail as Walberg takes players through it on the floor.

Coach Walberg looks at 10 of the most often asked questions concerning the dribble-drive attack offense and shares his philosophy and explanations for these questions. This leads into final video review with Walberg talking you through some in-game video examples for the various components to the offense.

Coach Walberg continues to improve and evolve the dribble-drive attack offense in all areas. This is a MUST Get DVD for coaches looking at installing the entire offensive system into their program!

Jay Wright opens up one of his practices at Villanova University to show you how his program develops their offensive system. Learn how to improve even the smallest details in techniques for passing, footwork and shooting. Watch as Coach Wright breaks down different scoring options in his offensive system into drills for players to master. See all of the pieces come together and learn how Coach Wright teaches players to recognize game situations as Villanova practices its offense in live scrimmages.

From the outset, Coach Wright explains that the goal of the 2-hour practice is to continue to build an offensive awareness that will allow each player to execute any offensive move regardless of which foot is the pivot foot. Coach Wright stresses the importance of spacing, reading screens and a general understanding of the details of the various offensive sets that will be used. He wants players to understand the concepts of each set, which then enables them to react more efficiently when an opponent takes away specific options.

Coach Wright uses skill development, 5-on-0 offense and 5-on-5 situations to translate drill work into game situations.

Individual Skill Development
This segment of practice centers on individual skill development. Guards and posts are split with the goal of improving footwork, taking shots that will be available within the offense and reading ball screen situations. Each drill utilizes a passing line as well as a shooting line, with shots present for each of the two players to get repetitions within the drill.

In the footwork drill series, inside pivots, reverse pivots, drop steps, jab steps, rip-throughs, jump stops in the lane and "bully" drives are heavily emphasized as Coach Wright walks from rim-to-rim to correct any mistakes he sees.

In the shooting series, players focus on footwork and reading the situation as they execute shots off of ball screens, down screens, curl cuts and flare screens. Within each exercise, players are taught both a go-to move and a counter, as Coach Wright informs the team of which situation they are to imagine occurring prior to each set of reps.

5-on-0
The 5-on-0 segment involves incorporating the individual skills work into a 5-on-0 situation (dummy offense). On display are the Villanova aces, deuces, and flat offensive sets. Each involve ball-screen actions but from different locations on the court. As an example, flat involves a high ball-screen at the top of the 3-point line, with two spot up 3-point shooters spread on opposite wings below the free-throw line. The remaining offensive player is below the block near the short corner. The ball handler is instructed to penetrate into the lane where he will have his choice of options depending on which direction he went and which help defender is forced to leave their man.

5-on-5 Live Scripts
The segment of practice brings it all together; everything previously worked on is now incorporated into a 5-on-5 setting. A half-court shell offense is on display as aces, deuces and flat sets are incorporated against an active defense. Coach Wright then allows full-court scrimmaging action in a game to 15 where points are awarded for techniques that were emphasized during practice such as turnovers forced, offensive rebounds and all-around skills execution.

When the crowd is going crazy and the pressure is high, players are going to revert back to the habits they have developed in practice. This presentation will help you to create exceptional technique in your athletes that will translate to victories in games.

Coach Wright, who was head coach at Hofstra when this best-seller was filmed, does an excellent job of clearly demonstrating an effective 4-out 1-in motion offense. After outlining the advantages of running the 4-out 1-in, Wright illustrates the proper positioning and spacing of all five players. He lists and demonstrates his basic rules for the perimeter and post players, and then concludes with a look at scoring opportunities out of the 4-out 1-in. Wright's 4-out 1-in is an effective motion offense that will help your team create excellent scoring opportunities.
