From high school to Olympic Gold, Van Chancellor has duplicated winning basketball for 44 years. His 1-4 offense can be utilized against defenses that attack with traps, pressure and switching. For every defensive stunt, the system presents counter action to take advantage of the off balance opponent. The screen and roll is the featured offensive tactic, but he also demonstrates the step back and high post pressure release. Chancellor illustrates the 1-4 offense's versatility with sets against the man-to-man, zone and trapping defenses. Five unique adjustments are part of this multiple offensive attack, and he shows each using on-court demonstrators. The veteran coach also shares four out-of-bounds plays and two late game plays for crunch time. This offense has been fine-tuned over a half century of basketball experience by Chancellor and will provide scoring and efficiency against any defense.

Coach Odom's 1-4 offense has been one of the consistent weapons in his successful tenure due to its ability to spread the defense, create back door opportunities, bring the defense up and out, has multiple entries and it gives you multiple opportunities to score (making it hard for your opponent to scout). The first option he demonstrates is Power, which begins with a dribble out to the right wing that signals all subsequent action. The preferred options are to feed the post first, and shoot off the down screen second. The next entry is called Post. This option is more about speed than screening and makes decision makers out of post players. The pinch-post becomes the point of good decision making. The hand off is created and is extremely hard to guard. The third option is the wing entry. This pass signals specific offensive action to follow. Odom concludes by adding some of his "special options" to the basic 1-4 movement. Odom preaches that good spacing will allow many scoring options. Timing is important so you can make the right play at the right time.

Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson has registered over 1,000 victories at all levels in his legendary career. His brand of fast-paced and discipline basketball is well known and his teams generate points quickly. In this DVD, he covers the Arizona offensive package from baseline to baseline. Coach Olson makes a point that his teams focus on pressuring the opponent on both ends of the floor. His instruction will demonstrate that point. The fast break is a big part of the Arizona philosophy. The designated lane fast break is keyed off a diagonal cut by the point guard for the outlet pass. Early offensive options include penetration to the lane, high/low post pass or hitting a cutter off a down screen. Post players are taught to "sit on the thigh" of the defender to seal him for the post pass. Against full court or _ court pressure, Arizona runs a pressure offense. After entering to the sideline, a pass to the point guard on a diagonal cut will eliminate the press. This attack is demonstrated against both a diamond and 2-2-1 zone press. This attack can come from a man-to-man or zone set. Once in the half court, a series of 1-4 High set plays serve as the main focus. Olson likes the 1-4 look because of its multiple features and options. From the point guard, the entry pass can go to the wing or post. The idea of "pressure outside, pass inside" allows players to read the defense to determine the proper entry pass. Another set play look is the UCLA series. This set of plays also presents multiple options and scoring opportunities with the chase out, high post and push option. Olson demonstrates a variety of set play options to use in certain game situations. The pick and roll and 1-4 low are great features that fits in well with this set play scheme. This DVD is an excellent example of an attacking, balanced and fundamentally sound approach to offensive basketball.
