Lawrence Frank delivers proven NBA concepts that are valuable to any high school or college program.

Coaching Philosophy
Coach Frank begins with a discussion on coaching philosophy and the importance of your players knowing and believing in that philosophy. He shares some helpful pointers you can use to get your players to "want what you want" and work for a common goal.

Closeout Defense
Train your players to take away your opponent's shot, deny the post pass and direct the dribble using three drills that Frank uses with the Boston Celtics. These drills teach the proper footwork and technique for defensive closeouts while working on guarding the ball, sprinting to the ball on the pass, and helping with a cutter.

Frank also includes instruction on transition defense by demonstrating his 5-on-4 scramble drill. These defensive concepts help illustrate his defensive philosophy: Protect the paint, closeout to contest the 3-point shot and communicate.

Pick and Roll Offense
Maintain the flow of your offense even if your set play doesn't work by using the pick and roll. Frank breaks down the four S's for the ball handler in the pick and roll offense:

• Starting point - Know where to start the pick and roll based on the angle of the screen and how the defense is playing you and your abilities as a player.
• Set up - Help the screener get the best angle by positioning your self to beat your man.
• Separation - Create separation from your defender while moving toward the basket.
• Score

From there, Frank breaks down the hardest pick and roll to defend - the straight on pick and roll. He shows a basic pick and roll set, a double pick and roll set, and four other actions that will give your ball handler the option on who to use as a screen. In addition, this set up allows you to flow to different alignments that play to the strengths of your team and that give you multiple options from one alignment.

Coach Frank gives great insight on his coaching style that relates to all levels of basketball. Learn how developing team philosophy, core values, and a team culture will results in togetherness in the locker room and on the court for your team.

Install these proven concepts and drills into your program today and start reaping the benefits of Frank's extensive basketball experience.

If your team can't close out effectively, you can't play defensively. Greenberg takes you through everything you need to know about closing out. He starts off with proper technique, and demonstrates drills you can use to practice this critical element of the game. Greenberg then moves on to defending special situations. Greenberg shows you ways to defend curls, rover situations, triangle offenses, out of bounds plays and more. He also emphasizes the small elements that will strengthen your success by taking away cuts, extending screens and reading the dribble. Closing out and special situations are important at every level of play. If you can steal shots by defending special situations, you can steal the game.

Defense boils down to three things according to Coach Flint: Containing the dribbler, contest all shots and communicate. When these three elements are combined with hard work, the keys to hard-nosed defense are in place. Philosophically, Flint believes there is a big difference between stealing the ball and making the offense force turnovers. His teams are taught not to gamble, but to pressure the defense at all times. The result of active hands, arms and feet is pressure that makes most teams turn the ball over. Mirroring the ball, quick hands and feet and a good athletic stance are hallmarks of excellent pressure defense. Players go one-on-one, without the dribble, to work on these key aspects of defense. The "Lunge" is a technique to teach the defensive slide that keeps players from hopping. This technique allows the player to quickly cover ground in the direction of the dribbler. The Zig-Zag drill combines the ball pressure with the lunge technique. Flint teaches players to run to catch up while keeping the dribbler on the side. To make this drill game like, an offensive and defensive player are added at half court. This becomes a 2-on-2 full court drill. The Closeout technique is a mainstay in Flint's philosophy. The goal is to take the shot away and keep the opponent in front of them. The Super Close-Out is a 2-on-1 drill that forces the defender to cover ground quickly, get to the shooter and closeout. Another drill, the Run Out, enhances your closeout skills. The next progression is the shell drill. Flint demonstrates this drill with a 2-on-2 situation on the right side. The key points are ball pressure, pushing the ball to the baseline, butt to the baseline and closing out. The defensive system presented in this DVD is simple and specific. Good defensive fundamentals are introduced here and are key to the defensive success that Bruiser Flint's teams have enjoyed for years.
