Learn the defensive system that moved St. John's from the bottom half the Big East in 2010 (6-12), to the top half in 2011 (12-6)--including a victory against the eventual national champion.

Mike Dunlap is widely known as one of basketball's leading strategists and on-court instructors, and he demonstrates why in this DVD. Coach Dunlap starts out with a "Review and Preview" presentation highlighting coaching tips for successful programs such as chasing ideas and understanding that your team is different every year, competitive spirit, and other great coaching concepts.

Dunlap initiates the defensive instruction in a unique way by showing actual game footage of the 1-1-3 against some of America's top teams. Important elements of this defense are sideline pins, extreme ball pressure, taking advantage of the sideline alleys, denying the high post and elbow, fronting the post, stunting, good rotations, and trapping.

After the game footage, Coach Dunlap goes into drill work on the court to teach the 2-2-1 full court press, which transitions into the 1-1-3 in the half court. He starts with 1-on-1 drills suffocating the basketball, 4-on-2 to teach ball pressure in the full court and converting to 4 O vs 2 D. Then, the team moves into 4-on-5 overload and defensive cutthroat before moving to the whole 1-1-3. Throughout the DVD, he emphasizes individual fundamental skills, including stance, specific hand skills and closeouts.

In order for any defense, zone or man to be successful, all players must move with the pass. Dunlap works this concept during his on court instruction and teaches the players the importance of "Sideline Pinning". The 1-1-3 defense will also help teams conquer basketball's most recent trend, the screen and roll offense.

By focusing on suffocating ball pressure, discipline with positioning, and rebounding intensity, Dunlap delivers the pieces you need to install the 1-1-3 defense--at any level.

This 1-1-3 is used to disrupt a team's offensive patterns and impact their greatest strengths. Coach Dunlap's complete knowledge of the system and his intense teaching style provide coaches with all of the tools necessary help develop this great defense!Produced at the Fall 2011 Omaha (NE) clinic.

In this on-court clinic presentation, Chris Mack shares everyday drills that are the backbone of his aggressive pack line defensive system.

Coach Mack teaches the defensive basics using individual and team drills that will:

• Create extreme ball pressure
• Keep the ball out of the middle of the court
• Force the offense to take contested jump shots "away from the box"
• Develop excellent help defense and improve communication on defense

After building the basics, Mack breaks down post defense from initial positioning on the floor to positioning after the offensive catch in the post. You will see his wall up technique for post defense that will create "the toughest 3-foot shot to make."

Bringing all of the basic defensive concepts and rules together, Mack demonstrates his 3-out, 1-in (unguarded post) drill, his 3-on-3 identity drill and 3-out 1-in identity drill (4-on-4 with a post) to train the players in a game-like tempo.

Coach Mack's Xavier teams are known for their aggressive man defensive play and this DVD gives you insight into how you can implement these defensive principles and drills.

Capitalizing on both unstructured and structured opportunities from open gym to practice to game-day situations, Scott Schumacher shows how to motivate and condition players for optimal performance and execution of this powerful and tenacious half-court defense.

These are the same techniques Schumacher has used to make his junior college teams the best in the nation.

Schumacher begins with his basic tips for more effective man-to-man play, which he then reinforces with series of defensive drills.
