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.

The old sports adage "Defense wins championships" has been repeatedly proven by DeMatha Catholic High School. The basketball program is built on a strong defense that over recent years has produced dozens of championship teams in the highly competitive Washington D.C. area.

In this exclusive DVD, DeMatha head basketball coach Mike Jones shares the strategies that have made his school a defensive powerhouse. He begins by emphasizing proper defensive rotation to minimize middle penetration. Jones focuses on ball pressure as a way to challenge shooters and not have to worry about getting beat off the first dribble.

He shares several critical principles for developing a strong defense such as:

• Beating the offense to the middle of the floor
• Keeping the ball on one side of the court
• Moving on the pass
• Communicating non-stop with teammates

A detailed explanation of the DeMatha Shell Drill is also presented, covering every aspect of proper defense rotation. In the 5-man shell drill, Coach Jones explains the proper techniques for covering the high and low post, denial defense, covering cutters and communicating on weakside help.

In the eight seasons at the helm of Pitt Basketball, Jamie Dixon has led the Panthers to eight consecutive NCAA Tournaments; including three Sweet Sixteen appearances. The success of his program comes from the focus on the defensive end of the floor.

In this on-court demonstration, Coach Dixon teaches you everything you need to know about man-to-man defense. Watch as he demonstrates how to guard some of the most used offensive tactics in basketball.

Defensive Philosophy
Man-to-man defense is the backbone of Jamie Dixon's program. See how his intense ball pressure and the "help in the gaps" forces the offense out of their rhythm. Dixon's goal is to get the offense to shoot below 40% and to win the rebounding margin by 10 every game.

Dixon covers the terminology he uses with his players, such as stunting, pinching and helping the help man. These defensive principals will position your players to defend any cut or screen that the offense is throwing at them.

Guarding Offensive Sets
Dixon covers how to guard the following offensive sets, including five effective ways to guard the ball-screen:

• Box Set: "America's Play"
• T-Action: Cross Screen with Down Screens
• Shuffle Cuts
• Flex Screens
• UCLA Cuts
• Ball-Screens
• Flare Screens
• Staggered Screens
• Horn Sets
