Perimeter Drills and Skills for the Pick & Roll Offense
with Wes Peek, Southport High School (IN) Head Coach

Wes Peek takes you through drills that will develop your perimeter players for effective pick & roll offense.

Perimeter Entry Chair Drills
Coach Peek runs players through entry chair drills emphasizing proper footwork and consistent shooting form, the ability to catch and shoot or attack from all areas of the floor, aggressiveness to keep the defense off balance and the ability to read the defense and think ahead.

Ball Screen Chair Drills
Learn how to use chair drills to teach your players their options when coming off ball screens and reading the defense, how to accept and use the ball screen correctly, how to minimize and protect their dribble and how to reject the screen and counter if defense stops the Pick & Roll

Combination Drills
Peek uses combination 2-on-0 and 3-on-0 drills to teach the Pick & Roll offense and to teach players to correctly and effectively pass, cut, catch, and use screens. These combination drills will also help your players learn to draw help defense for kick out passes while perimeter players drift to proper positioning.

2-On-2 Live Drills
Put it all together in a live setting with Peek's 2-on-2 Live Drills.

In addition, Coach Peek emphasizes competition in drills, using good passes and hard cuts to create advantages, exploiting mismatches, reading the defense, and staying aggressive to keep the defense off balance and create shots to maximize the effectiveness of the Pick & Roll Offense.

Tom Izzo: Man-to-Man Offense andCounters to Crush Defensive Adjustments
with Tom Izzo, Michigan State University Head Coach;
3x National Coach of the Year, 2000 NCAA Tournament Champions

Legendary coach Tom Izzo provides a detailed look into the high-powered Michigan State Offense! This offense provides the spacing you need to effectively use quick hitters to take advantage of defensive mismatches.

In a clinic setting, Coach Izzo uses a 5-on-0 and 5-on-5 demonstrations to teach the Spartan's Horns, Chest and Elbow Series. Each series is presented in great detail and offers a collection of counters that take advantage of defensive adjustments and gets the ball to your most talented offensive players.

Horns Series:
"Horns" is a 1-4 high set with four counters to confound any defense. Coach Izzo introduces post entries into the offense to counter defensive pressure on the wings.

Chest Series:
"Chest" is a two guard front with five counters. This offense uses four players capable of playing on the perimeter and will get the ball to your best athlete and your best shooter.

Elbow Series:
This unorthodox set with the posts at the "elbows" is an Izzo favorite. Four counters accompany the initial pattern.

Izzo emphasizes the simplicity of adding counters to what you already run. When adopting an offense, he asks, "How would the defense take it away?" Then, he develops counters that appear to be different plays. Counters allow your team to become more "player coached" and capable of making the adjustments that dumbfound defenses.

An informative video for quick hitters from one of the great coaches in college basketball. This video is a must have for any coach wishing to diversify and simplify their offense.

All-Access Skill Development & Conditioning Drills with Billy Donovan
with Billy Donovan, University of Florida Head Coach;
2007 & 2006 NCAA Champions;
One of only two people ever to serve as head coach, assistant coach, and player in a Final Four

From the pre-season agility, conditioning and weight training, to offensive and defensive skill development, this DVD features the complete Florida Gator pre-season program. Filmed on location at the University of Florida during actual practices, two-time National Championship Coach Billy Donovan provides a "live" look inside the Florida Gator Basketball program.

This thorough program is designed to have athletes prepared for the rigors and demands of the upcoming season.

Agility and Conditioning Workout (Disc 1)
Florida Gator Strength and Conditioning Coach Preston Greene delivers a comprehensive dynamic stretching and warm-up segment that incorporates the lane running drill and an intense agility ladder workout that takes players directly into defensive slides.

Players are taken through various close-out and defensive footwork drills designed to improve the athlete's ability to force, pressure and contain the basketball. These drills require physical and mental toughness and stamina.

Coach Greene wraps up the conditioning portion by taking two Gator players through an intense weight training session that features 10 exercises performed with maximum effort and pace.

Perimeter and Post Development (Disc 2)
Coach Donovan takes the floor and leads his players through a fast paced series of shooting and attacking drills. Donovan starts with the Gator guards, as they perform transition shooting drills and dribble moves. He also demonstrates his "shoot and move" series where he emphasizes quickly getting set up to shoot by beating the ball to various spots on the floor.

Donovan delivers the same drill intensity with the post players as he progresses from backboard tips and Mikan drills to various 1-on-1 catch and score drills. Utilizing heavy basketballs and toss-backs, Donovan forces players to compete in each competitive drill. This exhaustive post workout concludes with game-like pick-and-roll and live 2-on-2 post up drills.

What makes this All Access skill development DVD unique is that Donovan provides extensive game highlight footage in between drills demonstrating the relevance of each competitive drill.

Individual Defense (Disc 3)
Donovan explains and demonstrates individual defense as he works in groups of two and four players, working first with the perimeter players and then the post players. Donovan covers all areas of defense ranging from stance and slide technique to help and exchange and ball screen responsibilities. He places emphasis on discouraging the drive, yet taking away the three point shot in all of his competitive defense drills. Donovan adds his competitive twist to learning how to handle screens by incorporating 2-on-2 live as players learn to defend down screens and back screens. He concludes the defensive segment by teaching how to defend the most prevalent play in the game, the ball screen.

Uncover the basketball drills and techniques that have taken the Florida Gators to the NCAA championship platform and sent many Gator players to the NBA.

Chris Mack: Drills to Build the Pack Line Defense
with Chris Mack, Xavier University Head Coach;
2010 A-10 Coach of the Year; 2x A-10 regular season champs;
2009 Basketball Times Rookie Coach of the Year

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
These drills emphasize "discouraging the shot, but playing the drive" through positioning, closing out with high hands, building walls, closing gaps and jumping to the ball.

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.

Cover: high energy drills for building competitive practices
High Energy Drills for Building Competitive Practices
with Andy Toole,
Robert Morris University Head Coach

Up-and-comer Andy Toole uses on court demonstrations to teach 11 creative, competitive, intense drills for more productive practices.

A sampling of the drills include:

  • 4-on-3 Passing Drill - Players learn to use active hands on defense while the offense must make use of ball fakes, looking off the defense, and facing the game.
  • Harcum 2-on-1 Drill - This unique half-court transition drill makes use of quick outlet passes, sprinting in transition, and helping players learn that "your job is never done." Middle school and high school coaches with large numbers and limited court space will benefit from this drill.
  • Roanoke 1-on-1 Defensive Drill - An all-purpose drill that incorporates close-outs, guarding cutters, fronting the post, help and recover, controlling dribblers, and finishing with a rebound.
  • 4-on-2 Rebounding Drill - This drill places players in an uncomfortable, disadvantage situation and reinforces the importance of getting the initial rebound in a possession.
In a unique approach to the traditional shell drill, Toole simulates situations where the defense is beaten and drills the help scenarios. Coach Toole believes coaches should drill the help after a player is beaten as much as you drill the shell.

Your team will compete harder and transition from play-to-play faster using Toole's favorite offensive, defensive, and rebounding drills. Coaches and players will love these intense, creative, productive drills that foster competition and simulate game like conditions.
