Cover: all access dematha catholic high school basketball practice
All Access DeMatha Catholic High School Basketball Practice
featuring Mike Jones, DeMatha Catholic High School Head Coach;
with Alan Stein, DeMatha High School Head Strength & Conditioning coach

Mike Jones and Alan Stein bring to you an all access look at the DeMatha basketball program. Coach Jones, a former DeMatha player and assistant coach under basketball Hall of Famer Morgan Wootten, shows why DeMatha is one of the top high school basketball programs in the nation.

Warm-Ups
Alan Stein takes the players through their daily pre-practice warm-up exercises on the court. The warm-up drills incorporate basketball specific movements and include a series of dynamic flexibility exercises to prepare players for the cutting, jumping and landing that basketball practices and games require.

Drills
Add accountability and competitiveness to every drill you do! With this philosophy at the forefront, Coach Jones starts practice with aggressive full court drills that include a time goal for accountability.

To teach his pressure defensive philosophy, Jones uses transition defense drills, half court star close outs, and K-State defensive drills to get his players to think and react in the correct movements and rotations on defense. Within all of his drills he wants to have perfect execution mentally and physically as well as sharp cuts, passes and correct basketball movement.

Offense
Coach Jones reveals his philosophy on how to attack half court and full court man-to-man defense, his zone offenses against a 2-3 zone and a 1-3-1 zone and special situation baseline out of bounds plays and side line out of bounds plays.

Jones likes to use a lot of ball screens and back screens to put the defense into a disadvantage and get great angles to look at high/low entries into the post. He also believes in using motion continuity principles that include back screens and flex cuts to get quick scoring lay-ups.

Within his zone offensive package Jones uses a lot of spacing and flashing movements in order to move the basketball in the right spots against any zone defense they play against. You will get insights from Jones' philosophy on how great teams always find a way to win close basketball games by using well-executed offensive tactics to get the basketball in the right position.

Defense
Coach Jones demonstrates his philosophy of playing high intensity pressure basketball in the half and full court. Learn to attack the basketball in the full-court, put pressure the ball handler and take your opponent out of his rhythm. Take options away from the offense by denying passing lanes and rotating to help side on all dribble penetration. See drills that will help your players understand these defensive principles such as stance, overplay, help and recover, defensive transition and rebounding.

As a bonus Jones provides a complete breakdown of his lane 1-3-1 zone defense.

Strength and Conditioning
Coach Stein meets with the players after practice and goes through a 30 minute in-season training workout to maintain and strengthen the players' cores, legs and upper body. All of these exercises work basketball muscles and help your athletes avoid a season-ending injury.

This is a complete package for basketball coaches: offense, defense, drills, warm-ups and conditioning delivered by a championship-caliber coach.

The box press attack contains many features and alignments to beat full court pressure. Summitt shows specifically how to beat the 1-2-1-1 press with the box press attack. Two difficult defenses to attack are the triangle and two and box and 1. In a 1-4 set, Summitt demonstrates how to defeat these junk defenses.

BD-02933: with Pat Summitt, University of Tennessee Head Women's Basketball Coach;
2008 NCAA Champions - 8-time NCAA Championship Coach, over 950 career wins

Pat Summitt has established one of the greatest programs in the history of the game. She shares how to build a championship basketball team with her "Definite Dozen," a guideline for on and off the court character traits. A beginning coach is not provided with an instruction book for coaching. Coach Summitt believes that your instruction book comes directly from your system. Respect is another cornerstone of the system. Responsibility is all about team - that is, knowing your job and the job of everyone else on your team. Good coaches exhibit good listening and communication skills to relate to players and coaches. Communication on and off the floor is crucial.

BD-02959: with Pat Summitt,
University of Tennessee Head Women's Basketball Coach;
2008 NCAA Champions - 8-time NCAA Championship Coach, over 950 career wins

Legendary coach Pat Summitt brings a well prepared team to the floor every game. Her ability to get her team ready to play hard and execute is one of her many talents. Players must be informed about their opponent but not overwhelmed with information. The first item for players to lock into is the opponent's personnel. Knowing the offensive attack of the opponent includes their transition, primary man offense, sets, zone sets and out of bounds plays. On the floor, Coach Summitt's plan is to work on shooting drills, pressure releases, shell offense and defensive breakdown. The scouting report examines every defensive situation that could occur. Each player must know exactly what is expected in these situations. At the end of the shoot around, players will defend the opponent's out of bounds plays. During practice much of the activity is the same. On this DVD you will see practice drills such as; Post feeds, pressure releases, post double team, beating pressure with various cuts, shell offense featuring set plays, game shooting, free throws, defensive breakdown, post dive, main offense, baseline and sideline out of bounds.

BD-02960: with Pat Summitt,
University of Tennessee Head Women's Basketball Coach;
2008 NCAA Champions - 8-time NCAA Championship Coach, over 950 career wins

Coach Summitt offers a unique look at pre-game preparation during a practice session with the Lady Vols. This presentation begins with offensive breakdown drills early in the practice. A variety of shots will be taken during several shooting drills. Defending the dribble drive is crucial for good man-to-man defense. Summitt feels this is the most difficult thing in team defense. This segment of practice includes many different drills. These drills include the close out, one-on-one defense, 2-on-2 defense, 3-on-3 defense, defensive rotation, turn defense and keeping out of middle. To emphasize the importance of defense, Summitt always makes a goal for the defenders in practice drills. Three consecutive box outs and defensive stops are the goal for the defensive half court drill. Shelling offensive sets come next in the practice plan. This will give coaches the opportunity to teach sets as they play. Added to this drill is defensive transition after a shot is taken 5-0. The next step is to play 5-on-5 with defensive transition. Putting things together, the next segment is scrimmaging against the zone defense. The workout ends with a shooting drill mixed with conditioning. Game footage shows Summitt's team executing the defensive game plan.

Philosophy
Coach Knight shares his philosophy on practice and how you can go about making each one as efficient as the next.

Conversion
Developing a great conversion game is based on two simple rules: Getting back on defense quicker than your opponent and getting the ball up the floor as fast as possible on offense. Knight demonstrates drills to work on these areas and increases the pressure of the drills by adding "thinking components" to them.

Mental Toughness
In every drill Knight demonstrates, focus and "observation" are paramount to its success. Not only are the drills physically demanding, but also mentally exhausting. With 20 innovative drills designed to prepare your players for the pressure of the game, it is easy to see why Coach Knight is the all-time winningest head coach in Division I Men's Basketball.

Fundamental Offensive Drills
Knight teaches the importance of quick, fast-thinking passing drills to stress communication, action and thinking. He shows competitive shooting drills that turn up the pressure on the shooter and are executed at game speed. He teaches the value of the free throw and the importance of spacing, screening and cutting within any offense.

Fundamental Defensive Drills
Coach Knights demonstrates his 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 help & recover drills and how to defend, score and rebound at the post position.

Over 50 game clips are shown covering effective offensive rebounding as well as good block outs.

No one in the game teaches the motion offense better than coaching legend Bob Knight. Discover how his screening and cutting motions can benefit your offense.

Coach Knight teaches every element of his man-to-man offense with on-court demonstrations including screens, cutter options, post screens, screening angle, balance and spacing. This 2-DVD set includes never before seen footage of practices at Indiana University!

In each of these areas, Coach Knight shares his coaching philosophy, teaching methods, and crucial teaching points as he builds his man-to-man offense.

Philosophy
Bob Knight's emphasizes that cutting and screening gives you the best opportunity to shoot good shots every time down the court. Forcing all five defenders to guard at all times with no specific offensive pattern will allow for uncontested shots time after time.

With Knight's spacing principles, you have the opportunity to set screens and cut to the basket while keeping the floor properly balanced at all times.

Cutting & Screening
No matter what man-to-man offense you run, Knight demonstrates how you can use proper screening techniques, well-balanced spacing, and set up screens to make your offense highly efficient. Knight teaches the effective use of the down screen, the back screen, the cross screen, the flare screen, the slip screen, the double screen, and the T screen in a number of on-court demonstrations. Included in the bonus game films, you will discover hundreds of clips showing the screens in action.

Offensive Drills
All of Knight's drills begin with a 2-on-2 set-up and expand to 5-on-5. The drills utilitze all of the screening and cutting actions covered in the screening segment. As the drills progress, constant motion with proper spacing is emphasized. To improve the flow of the offense, Knight implements limitations on the drills requiring players to "see and observe" the defense.

Motion Entries
In the bonus footage you will discover six motion entries Knight has used to initiate his passing, cutting, and screening offense. Included are "Baseline Reverse" and "Triangle" which he has been using since his time at Indiana University in the early 1970s!

In addition, you will also receive Coach Knight's Clinic V (retail value $60), which was filmed in 1997 and features more instruction on the offense.

Regardless of which system you run, the concepts and techniques in this DVD pack will take your offense to the next level!

Take an in-depth look at how Coach Knight developed and implemented his dominating man-to-man defense which led him to become the all-time winningest head coach in Division I Men's Basketball.

Philosophy
Tough man-to-man principles with great ball-side and weak-side help are hallmarks of Knight's successful brand of defense. Knight stresses the importance of finding the right defensive fit for your team's personnel.

Conversion & Rebounding
The two biggest areas that need to be worked on in every practice are transition defense and rebounding the basketball. Knight demonstrates techniques and drills that will get your team to run down the floor and deny any type of transition attack and finishing off possessions with securing rebounds.

Ball-Side & Help-Side Defense
A solid defensive team begins with tough on-the-ball pressure. With the philosophy of forcing the ball to the corners, Knight demonstrates how ball-side help must shut down the drive and that the recovery to your man is both "low and short." Stressing always seeing both your man and the ball to avoid back-cuts and never losing sight of the basketball are just a sample of the concepts you will uncover in this segment.

Defensive Drills
Coach Knight demonstrates eight defensive drills that incorporate every element of defense: rebounding, transition defense, man-to-man pressure, help-side defense, ball-side defense, post defense, how to cover screens and more!

Knight also shares his secrets on how he would defend today's most popular offenses including: the dribble-drive motion, 5-out motion, and the flex offense.

BD-03643: with Tom Jicha,
Sunset High School, (FL) Head Coach

Level the playing field with a system designed to upset more athletic teams on a consistent basis.

Tom Jicha presents his interpretation of the two guard front offense, which is based on the offensive system made famous by John Beilein at West Virginia and now at the University of Michigan. This perimeter-based offense is designed to provide scoring opportunities for smaller teams that lack a "true post" player.

Coach Jicha introduces his three main sets: motion, shuffle and chin and blends them together to form one of the most difficult to defend offenses in the game today.

Chin Set
Jicha dissects the chin set on the dry-erase board guiding you through its precision movement. Included are the four ways to get into the chin: the middle pass, the side pass, reversal, and the hand-off. Moving to the court, Jicha demonstrates the tremendous spacing and ball movement options that this offense provides. You will learn the bump cut and pull-through techniques to counter intense defensive pressure. Jicha demonstrates the importance of high dribble outs and the hand-off to create back door cut opportunities.

Motion Set
Jicha delivers the primary set he uses on nearly every trip down the floor: the Motion Set. After starting with a quick pass to the wing and a blast cut from the point guard, seven motion options are demonstrated on the court versus defense. The secret to this offense is how smoothly it flows directly into the chin set, frustrating defenders who attempt to guard every v-cut, screen and the lightening quick ball reversal.

Shuffle Set
This unique set provides wing-to-block shuffle cutting action and it also flows directly into the chin set.

In addition to step-by-step breakdown of each set, Jicha teaches 20 effective quick hitters that can be utilized with this offense. Each set has quick hitters designed specifically to take advantage of what the defense is giving. You will see five quick hitters for the chin series, five for the motion series and 10 for the shuffle series. Each quick hitter flows back into the offense and each has multiple scoring options.

Jicha closes with 10 drills he uses to teach the offensive action and to demonstrate how to get game shots from the action.

Coach Jicha has effectively dissected this complex offensive system so that it can be totally effective at any level of play.
