Don Showalter reveals the offense that propelled the USA Basketball U16 and U17 teams to gold medals in world competition. This offense is simple enough to run at any level of competition yet effective at keeping defenses on their heels. It is simple to install and players enjoy the freedom that it allows.

Coach Showalter uses on court demonstrators to walk you through his "20" continuity offense which starts in a 1-4 high set and utilizes a ball screen on the wing to get players into what he calls the "kill area." He focuses on the details that make this offense work including the permanent pivot foot, how and where to set the ball screen, and the screen and roll versus screen and go.

Emphasis is placed on reading the defense as the ball handler comes off of the screen and Showalter teaches the reads that must be made against teams that:

• Go behind the screen
• Hedge on the screen
• Double the screen
• Switch the screen
• Show early on the screen

Finally, Showalter demonstrates how the offense can be used against a zone defense. The basic continuity remains the same but the reads change depending on the movement of the zone.

In an added bonus, Showalter takes time to provide some significant insight valuable to coaches at any level. He discusses the importance of communication and the challenges of getting players to play hard all of the time. He details the top 10 mistakes that high school coaches make and the four "C's" (Choices, Comfort Zone, Compete, and Communication) that he emphasizes with his teams.

This DVD provides coaches with all of the tools necessary to implement this highly successful offense at any level.

In this fast-paced, instructional DVD from Championship Productions, Coach Donnie Jones shares the strategies that laid the groundwork for Florida's back-to-back national title runs. Coach Jones takes viewers through the seven build-up drills and 12 sets that form the core of his up-tempo offense, focusing on fundamentals-passing, catching, talking, shooting and dribbling-as the key to improving play and putting points on the board.

Using strategies termed "beginnings " and "endings," Coach Jones demonstrates how to push the ball up-court for a quick score ("beginnings) and how to reset the offense after a missed shot (endings). His detailed discussions of various "pick and roll" options, which is his primary transition offense, emphasize the correct use of screens, spacing and positioning. He also demonstrates several different versions of the primary pick and roll, which can be used to break an opponent's defensive tempo. Coach Jones also shares his "musts to winning'-great defense, unselfish ball handling, playing hard, effective rebounding and mental/physical toughness.

Two-time ACC Coach of the Year Seth Greenberg takes to the court to explain how to attack both odd- and even-front zone defenses, providing the concepts that will allow your team to play to their strengths.

An effective zone offense must:

• start with the transition game
• must have players attacking the offensive glass
• players must not settle for jump shots
• there must be ball movement and player movement
• must screen the zone
• players must be able to shot fake and ball fake
• the players must be shot ready

Greenberg completes his zone attack arsenal with a two-guard offense designed to attack the 1-3-1 zone defense. In this offense, which is his variation of the famous "T-Game" offense, Greenberg wants his guards to play mid-point to mid-point, making it easier to attack the gray areas of the 1-3-1 and helps avoid being trapped on the sideline.

The key to Coach Greenberg's success at attacking zones lies in his philosophy of getting the ball to your best players in position to score. These simple rules and concepts will allow your team to play instinctively and successfully defeat zone defenses.
